About Becky

 Le Gourmet Baking is a neighborhood gem offering a delightful experience every time you walk through the door.

Becky inherited her mother’s gift for exceptional baked goods, her grandmother’s style of delicious southern cooking and a grandfather’s entrepreneurial spirit for running a business. This unique combination of talents has helped to both inspire and encourage her since she was a little girl. After graduating from SMU, getting married and starting a family, Becky discovered an adventurous way to use those creative influences. In early 2000, Becky fell in love with a shortbread recipe that satisfied her desire to produce the ideal cookie. Becky’s yearning for “a softer more cake-like shortbread with a crumbly texture and, yet, still soft in the middle” has been instrumental in fulfilling her goal of offering a cookie that tastes as good as it looks. She describes her shortbreads as cookies that have personality.

Filling orders today includes corporate clients like Neiman Marcus where she has sold over 15,000 personalized shortbread cookies since 2015. They currently offer 7 different designs online which can be ordered at neimanmarcus.com. Becky is now baking shortbread cookies for corporate events, weddings, birthdays, schools and non-profits. Cookie decorating classes, offered at the bakery or parties at your home, have become a hit with all ages.
