Currently based in the unique community of Fairhope on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, Patty is the Pastry Chef and Bakery Manager at the award winning Warehouse restaurant. She is known for creating unique and traditional baked goods such as French Macarons, Chocolate Ganache’ cakes and the regional favorite, Triple Coconut Cake.
