The day we’ve been dreading for the past three years and eight months has arrived. If you ever visited our patisserie in Midtown, and the past year in East Village, you might have met, or got a glimpse, of our sweet Jess, aka Lammy Daddy, aka side eye Queen, aka Queen of Kouign Amann! Jess has played a huge part in opening our second location, streamlining systems and bringing all of our doughs and laminated pastries to the level of consistency we have right now.
For every crazy idea we (I) would throw at her, Jess was our voice of reason, our “let me show you all the things that can go wrong with this!”. She was also our cheerleader, our basement gremlin, which she loved because maybe she didn’t have to see our craziness on daily basis?? Jess was my favorite Detroit tea gal, a woman with a golden heart and unshakable values. I will miss you dearly Jess Lum
I know you won’t miss this song, though! 😉
All of us at WARDA wish you the best on your next FT, lifetime, unpaid job! Mini Jess is lucky to have you and Adam as parents! ❤️❤️
