Meet Jennifer

I own Ruby Jean Patisserie, a Denver based, bespoke dessert catering company, creating American inspired treats utilizing European techniques. Our specialties include buttercream cakes, French macarons and more.

We source our ingredients locally and organically as much as possible. Everything is measured, mixed, poured, and rolled by hand. We pride ourselves in using the finest procured ingredients, European butter, cage free eggs, and Belgian chocolate. Our products are baked without the use of artificial flavorings, preservatives, or shortening.

Our goal is to WOW your guests and make your events memorable. We aim to be the best bakery in Denver and become your go-to place for all things sweet.

How did your business come to exist?

My business came to fruition after working in the hospitality industry for over 2 decades. I wanted something that was all my own and made that happen. Ruby Jean Patisserie was dreamt about on a yoga mat and launched within 6 months of that dream.

What are you known for?

Colorado has so many inspiring creators, makers, artist and visionaries; its always encouraging to know you are not alone in the entrepreneur game. I love how supportive the community and citizens are of local businesses

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in all things; traveling, eating new and different foods, reading, textiles and even conversations; I'm always dreaming up new flavor combinations and design ideas.
