-  'Thank you for your support and good taste'.  -  Susan Nicolas

Growing up amidst the cornfields of northwest Indiana, the little girl spent her summers and weekends devouring every book she could when the county bookmobile parked in her rural neighborhood for the day.  Inspired by Ragamuffin Alley, the story of young people starting their own playhouse as well as by family stories of her mother and grandmother baking bread, cookies and cakes and selling them door to door during the depression, Susan always dreamed of starting her own bakery. 

As a teenager she joined the local 4-H Club, entering her baking and sewing projects in the Lake County Fair which resulted in her butter cake qualifying to compete in the Indiana State Fair.  The dream of creating a bakery danced in her head for the next 34 years as a career in teaching moved it to the back 
burner, but throughout those years, baking, cooking and eating remained her favorite sports.

After retiring, her love for baking now took center stage as she and her French husband Daniel, a serial entrepreneur, founded St. Amour (Saint Love) a specialty baking company with a focus on niche products all produced with the highest quality ingredients and fanatical attention to detail.
