Jatee Kearsley, owner & pastry chef of Je T’aime Patisserie. Created Je T’aime Patisserie from my love and passion for baking, pastries, and community.
I started baking at an early age and can’t see my life without it. As a teenager, I would have bake sales outside of my apartment building in Queens, NY, selling baked goods to all of my neighbors. It became a summer ritual for me. When my neighbors began to repeatedly ask when I would have the bake sale again, I knew this was "my thing". I became unstoppable when it came to baking after I received a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer for Christmas from my mother. Although I was young, that machine kick-started to my baking career.
Fast forward to now with my very first bakery – it’s surreal. After visiting Paris, France, and falling in love with the city, I knew I wanted Je T’aime Patisserie to offer Parisian-style pastries, but with my special twist. I hope to inspire you to taste and try new things here at Je T’aime Patisserie.
