Michelle Mausen: The Sugar Maven Behind My Petite Sweet

To truly appreciate the essence of My Petite Sweet, one must first delve into its roots. It isn't merely a bakery; it’s a chronicle of dreams, passions, and a fervor for the sweetest things in life. Its history echoes with the sound of whisks stirring batter, the aroma of fresh-baked goods wafting through the air, and the sheer dedication to the art of confectionery.

The visionary behind My Petite Sweet, Michelle Mausen, isn’t just an owner; she’s a maestro of cake balancing and a true sugar artisan. It all began in 2005 when, after a string of victories in local chocolate competitions, a friend posed a challenge: to craft a wedding cake. Michelle, with her innate flair for the sweet arts, not only accepted the task but discovered a deep-seated passion in the process.

Within the cozy confines of her own kitchen, Michelle didn't just stop at wedding cakes. She let her creativity blossom and began a delightful dalliance with an array of other baked marvels.

A pivotal moment came in 2011 when Michelle decided that My Petite Sweet needed more than just her kitchen to flourish. It transitioned to its first official brick-and-mortar home. But such was the allure of her offerings, that even this space seemed to shrink as the days went by. Recognizing the need for a more expansive realm, in 2016, My Petite Sweet bid adieu to its previous abode and graciously occupied the old Colonial Bakery at the junction of Hwy 101 and NE 17th Street. This new location not only provided ample space but also stood as a testament to the bakery's incredible journey from a home kitchen to one of the Oregon Coast’s dessert jewels.
