Our Story
Mikkelsen's Pastry Shop was born from a lifelong devotion to the craft. Founder Paw Mikkelsen grew up immersed in the art of European baking — his family owned and operated a pastry shop in Denmark, where he learned every technique from the ground up. After moving to the United States, he met Elizabeth, a Cornell University School of Hotel Administration graduate who had built her own distinguished career at the highest levels of the hospitality world.
Together, Paw and Elizabeth pooled over 60 years of combined experience earned at some of the most iconic establishments in hospitality: The Plaza Hotel in New York City, The Ritz-Carlton in Naples and Boston, and the Four Seasons Hotels in Boston and Houston. In 2000, they brought that extraordinary foundation to Southwest Florida.
Today, Mikkelsen's is the trusted pastry partner of the region's finest clubs, hotels, and restaurants, and equally beloved by families celebrating weddings, birthdays, and every occasion that deserves something exceptional.
