Natalie Schultz is the founder and head pastry chef of Fig Tree Patisserie.
The name is inspired by Schultz’s love for French Pastry, her grandparents love for baking and their homegrown fig trees.
Fig Tree specializes in macarons, custom cakes, vegan, gluten free and keto but also has ties in Schultz’s Sicilian roots. After amassing a steady and loyal customer base, Schultz sought out a starter-space to expand her reach and widen her ties to the Buffalo community. Schultz graduated from Niagara Falls Culinary Institute in 2017 and has a history of working with small locally and women owned businesses.
A competitive swimmer for over a decade, Schultz is no stranger to beating an old record and out-doing herself; which you can see in her body of work available on Instagram and Facebook (@figtreepatisserie), where you can also see her full standing menu and rotating holiday menu.
