Mayme Gretsch and Utterly Nashville Hint at New Home for Macarons and Doughnuts | Eater Nashville

"After calling Nashville home for a few years, the pastry wizard’s lavish confections are finally getting their own space — an Utterly Nashville Instagram post showed only a key and briefly mentioned a new shop opening in 2019. Gretsch’s doughnuts, macarons, and classic French cannelés have been highly coveted at her current locations; they appear at the coffee shop Crema on Fridays through Sundays, while her pies have called dive bar Dino’s home throughout the week. She premiered her pastry project in 2014 after spending time in some of the world’s most esteemed kitchens, including Michelin-starred restaurants in Spain and Chicago’s Alinea, and she helped open Nashville’s Catbird Seat as pastry chef. Growing up in Minneapolis in a single-parent home, she learned to plan and prepare most meals, which fed her passion for cooking and researching ingredients. Gretsch puts particular focus on sourcing ingredients for her pastries — full-fat milk from a Tennessee dairy, vanilla beans from Madagascar, and single origin chocolate from Honduras." - Delia Jo Ramsey
