It may be one of the best kept secrets in Loveland: How there's a French/European pastry chef in town, who loves the color purple and is deaf.

This woman comes from a line of woman who inspired her to become a baker and own her own bakery, which she now does. The fact that she is deaf hasn't stopped her on her journey, one bit.

It's amazing what you can find out about your own town when you are using Google Maps. I wish I could remember what I was searching for at the time in Loveland, Colorado, but up popped the little "food" symbol in a place that's basically, a neighborhood. I was intrigued, so I dug a little deeper and found that this this spot is home to this woman's bakery, in the bottom of her home.

Currently located at the corner of 10th Street and Taft Avenue, Chef Zetta Marie has been in business in Loveland since 2013. I think what really got me interested was in how her Facebook page said not to call, or leave a message; I wondered why. That's when I learned that Chef Stevenson is deaf.
