“We’re not just opening a bakery but also integrating the whole production of the hotel along with the bakery. “It wasn’t really ever on my radar to open a bakery, because I knew it was so much work,” she says.

– which owns multiple buildings along Las Olas Boulevard - asked her to start a brand-new bakery. To tempt more hotel foot traffic, she started a side hustle selling dessert-of-the-month subscription boxes, where customers picked up to-go packages filled with surprise treats like Nutella brownies.Ĭourtemanche sold so many dessert boxes that Mike Weymouth, president of The Las Olas Co. When hospitality businesses struggled during the pandemic, the hotel laid off every pastry chef save Courtemanche. The allure of sandy beaches and palm trees drove her and her husband to Fort Lauderdale in 2013 and, several months later, Riverside Hotel hired her in January 2014. Raised in the small town of Espanola, Ontario, Courtemanche honed her baking know-how for six years at a family-run Italian bakery, Regency, but eventually learned fancier desserts as a pastry chef at a touristy resort in Niagara-on-the-Lake, a border town next to Niagara Falls.

At her 2,200-square-foot bakery, the native of Ontario, Canada, crafts decadent desserts like gooey cinnamon buns glazed with bourbon-caramel cream cheese, along with snickers brownies, Nutella-stuffed cookies, and coconut passionfruit dessert jars. Now Courtemanche has parlayed the crazy highs of “Sugar Rush” into her first bakeshop, New River Cafe & Bakery, which soft-opened in mid-January a block south of Las Olas Boulevard. But what truly clinched her victory was a red-and-green velvet cake stuffed with cutout cake pop Christmas trees, and crowned with what judges called a “dreamy” coquito cream-cheese frosting.
