About The Store: The Pastry Goddess Story |
|
|
The Pastry Goddess first opened our doors in December of 1997 in Blue Springs, Missouri offering a large variety of completely from scratch danish, cookies, tarts, and cakes. Our Wedding Cakes range from simple and elegant - to elaborate and ornate works of art! The Pastry Goddess grew by leaps and bounds fulfilling not only Blue Springs' appetite, but much of the Kansas City areas desire for the best dessert available. In 2003, The Pastry Goddess grew beyond its Blue Springs store and moved into The Hartman Heritage Center in Independence, Missouri. We started out by simply providing the same high quality desserts and baked goods we have always provided - and added an enormous Espresso Bar featuring over 40 flavors making for nearly limitless combinations of drinks (see our Cafe page). We have also added a line of candies provided by Joseph Schmidt of San Francisco and B.T. McElruth hand molded candies. Sandwiches, Soups, Quiche and Salads were our next addition. We took our same attitude towards savory foods as we hold towards dessert - Freshly prepared and served to order! We also offer classes periodically (check the Classes page) aimed at teaching you that good cooking with pizzazz can be for anyone! In October of 2006, the Pastry Goddess opened the doors on our second store in the Briarcliff Village shopping center. Located just North of Downtown Kansas City off of 169 Highway and Briarcliff Parkway. In August of 2007, the Pastry Goddess entered the world of Ice Cream and the Mulberry Creamery was born. Also located in Briarcliff Village, the Mulberry Creamery offers home made ice cream with a flair from the 50's. All our ice cream is created from scratch in our creamery daily using many ingredients from the Pastry Goddess to create our own unique recipes and flavors. We also serve Hot Dogs and Johnsonville Brats fresh daily. We look forward to serving you from all of our locations and we look forward to future growth. So please come visit us, we enjoy taking the time to get to know you and help you to find the best desserts in all of Kansas City. |

| About The Chef: Kathy Huddleston, CEPC | |
|
|
After attending Johnson County Community College and numerous specialized pastry programs around the United States, Kathy accepted her first executive pastry chef position at EBT restaurant in Kansas City, MO. She was responsible for developing and producing desserts for the menu as well as many specialty pastries for special events. Her skills at EBT earned her nickname "the pastry goddess" by her first chef. Her unequaled ability to create the most exquisite pastry entirely from scratch earned her great respect in the industry. The name stuck. Kathy was with EBT for 6 years before accepting the Executive Pastry Chef position at The American Restaurant in Crown Center. Kathy was responsible for all desserts and specialty pastries including ice creams, sorbets, and chocolates. Kathy was with The American for 31/2 years before deciding with her husband, Doug, to open a completely from scratch bakery called "the Pastry Goddess" in Blue Springs, MO. After 6 years, they had outgrown the Blue Springs location and moved into a larger store in Independence, MO. The second Pasty Goddess opened for business in October of 2006 in Briarcliff Village just north of Downtown, Kansas City. Today, Kathy spends her time decorating cakes and molding chocolate into statuesque art. |
