Management Team / Advisory Board Bios

Caitlin Olsen
Founder & Owner
Caitlin's passion for baking started early when she was inspired by her Grandmother Varian. Several Coquette artisanal cakes are made using Varian's recipes. While living in Northwest Germany, Caitlin started a bakery selling American pastries. She was delighted to introduce her customers to these delicacies. Caitlin takes pride in using only the best locally sourced ingredients in her cakes. She values sustainability and believes her cakes taste that much better because they reflect the place where they are made-Northern New Mexico.

This business is a known con artist and has ripped off many people in Santa Fe. Read the reviews on FB, talk to the many people in Santa Fe she owes money, has lied to, sold counterfeit products to etc... She will do the same in Portland Maine. PLEASE do your research and do not encourage more of this bad behavior in a new town.
