Today, the cake is personal. 💜🎂
Happy birthday to my sister—one of my favorite humans, my forever partner in memories, laughs, and probably a little bit of trouble. 🥰
Being a pastry chef means I get to be part of so many people’s celebrations, but there’s something extra special about celebrating the people I love most.
Joyeux anniversaire, ma sœur. ❤️

Banana muffin, but make it extra. 🍌✨
Soft, moist banana muffin topped with a generous buttery crumble—because apparently a regular muffin wasn’t indulgent enough.
Breakfast? Snack? Dessert?
Yes. 😌

A little French classic that deserves more attention. 🍐✨
Our Pear Amandine Tartlet combines tender pears with rich almond cream, baked together in a crisp tart shell. Simple, buttery, delicate… and very French. 🇫🇷
Perfect with a coffee and absolutely acceptable as breakfast. We don’t make the rules. 😉

Today’s production schedule:
✔️ Hammock
✔️ Rest
✔️ Absolutely no croissants to laminate
✔️ Maybe a nap
Even bakers need a day to be flaky without making anything flaky. 😂🥐
Happy Labor Day! I’ll be right here recharging before getting back to the butter, flour, and sugar. 💜

It’s baaaack… 🎃☕🍂
Our Pumpkin Spice Latte has officially returned! Creamy, cozy, warmly spiced, and basically fall in a cup — even if Austin hasn’t gotten the memo about sweater weather yet. 😂
Come get your first taste of the season at Violette. 💜
Are you Team Pumpkin Spice ASAP or Team “wait until it’s actually cold”? 👀

When your sister’s favorite dessert becomes her birthday cake. 💜✨
For her birthday, I wanted to create something especially for her — an “A” cake for her initial, inspired by her favorite dessert: the vanilla éclair.
Vanilla choux with craquelin, set on crisp pâte sucrée, and decorated with whipped cream, fresh flowers, and a little sparkle. 🌿✨
Part éclair, part birthday cake, and made with lots of sisterly love. 💜

Some recipes are more than recipes. They’re family. 🤎
Our Tiramisu Cup is made from my Italian grandmother’s recipe — layers of coffee-soaked cake and creamy mascarpone, finished with cocoa.
A little piece of my family’s kitchen, now in our pastry case at Violette. 💜
Come try one and tell us: are you a tiramisu lover?

A little goodbye… and two delicious hellos. 👋💜✨
This is your LAST WEEK to enjoy two favorites from our pastry case!
🍓 Berry Vanilla Bliss — vanilla cake, light vanilla mousse & strawberry jam. She’s leaving the case, so this is your last chance to grab one before she’s gone!
🌙 Midnight Forest is saying goodbye too. If it’s one of your favorites, consider this your warning. 😉
But don’t be too sad… because their replacements are coming. 👀
🤎 Caresse Praline — vanilla cake, vanilla mousse & pecan praline. Creamy, nutty, delicate and very French.
🍫 NEW: Chocolate Box — chocolate cake & chocolate mousse with a creamy caramel center. This one is a brand-new Violette creation, and we can’t wait for you to meet it.
So the question is… one last Bliss & Midnight Forest, or are you already ready for the newcomers? 💜

Three ways to make your morning better. 🥐✨
Keep it classic with our buttery, flaky French croissant, go cozy with a cinnamon roll, or treat yourself to a soft banana muffin.
The difficult part? Choosing just one. 💜
Which one are you reaching for first?

⏰ A little update to our hours!
For the time being, we’ll be closing at 5 PM instead of 6 PM Tuesday through Saturday.
We’re a little short-staffed at the moment, and rather than stretching our small team too thin, we’ve decided to shorten our days just a little. 💜
Everything else stays the same — including plenty of croissants, pastries, desserts, and coffee waiting for you. 🥐☕️
Thank you for your patience, kindness, and continued support of our little bakery. We hope to be back to our regular hours soon!

Sometimes the smallest details take the most time.
For this custom cake, I created a Tree of Life entirely by hand, building it little by little—from the first branches to the final details.
I took pictures along the way because I love seeing how something that starts as a few simple pieces slowly becomes the centerpiece of a cake.
Swipe/watch until the end to see it come to life.
One of my favorite parts of custom cakes is turning an idea into something completely unique for the person receiving it.
Would you have guessed how it started? 🌿

You came in for a croissant.
You saw the dessert case.
Things happened. 😏
We understand.
There’s always room in the box for one more little dessert, right? 🍰✨
Come see what’s waiting in the case this weekend — but consider yourself warned.

Before the doors open, the bakery is already very much awake. ☀️🥐
Dough is being rolled. Croissants are proofing. Creams are being piped. Desserts are being glazed. The ovens are running… and little by little, an empty display case becomes a bakery full of pastries.
We’re a small team, and so much happens behind the scenes before the first customer walks through the door.
Made from scratch. Made by hand. Made fresh for you. 💜
Welcome to our mornings at Violette.

That sound when you break open a really good croissant… 🥐🤍
Crisp, flaky layers on the outside. Soft, buttery layers inside.
Our croissants are made from scratch, laminated by hand, proofed, and baked fresh — because there really is no shortcut to a good croissant.
And yes, we fully support making a mess of crumbs while eating one. That’s part of the experience. 🇫🇷

The best things in the bakery might not be in the bakery case… 👀✨
Our monthly Bakery Box is where we get to have a little extra fun.
Each box includes 3 viennoiseries + 6 desserts, with special creations made exclusively for our members — treats you won’t necessarily find in the case.
This month, we’re taking you to Late Summer in France 🇫🇷☀️ — think seasonal flavors, beautiful pastries, and one last taste of those long summer days.
Being a member means getting first access to something a little different, a little more special, and made just for you. 💜
Want in? Join the Bakery Box through the link in our bio.

Consider this your sign.
You do, in fact, need a little dessert today. 💜
Maybe something chocolatey.
Maybe something fruity.
Maybe something creamy.
Maybe a croissant for tomorrow morning that mysteriously won't survive until tomorrow morning.
Our pastry case is filled and waiting for you. ✨
Come find your favorite — or discover a new one.

There’s a lot that happens before these little pastries make it into the case. 💜
Rolling. Folding. Piping. Baking. Glazing. Decorating. And occasionally staring through the oven door hoping everything behaves. 😂
At Violette Bakehouse, our pastries and desserts are made right here in our kitchen, in small batches, with a whole lot of care.
No giant production line. Just a very small team making a LOT of pastry. 🥐
Come see what we made today!

🏀⚾🔬 When sports meet science… in cake form! 🧪🏈
This custom cake was created for a very special 2-year-old who already knows exactly what he likes: sports and science! 💙
Inside: an 8" chocolate cake filled with Oreo cream🍫
Outside: a colorful mix of basketball, baseball, tennis, pool and science-inspired details — all brought together into one completely personalized birthday cake.
One of our favorite things about making custom cakes is taking the things someone loves and turning them into something made just for them. 💜
