Juliette – pain d’amour is proud to introduce its two new managers, who are responsible for production in the bakery and patisserie: Julie Unterreiner joins the company as head baker, while Lenka Stackova is officially appointed head patissier after an exciting career.

With these two appointments, Juliette – pain d’amour reaffirms its mission: to offer exceptional, artisanal creations that combine taste, expertise, and responsible commitment.

Julie Unterreiner – A master of French baking

Julie Unterreiner, originally from Alsace, is a young head baker who is considered one of the greatest hopes of French artisan baking. She is vice world champion in the team competition “International Meilleur Jeune Boulanger” (2022), winner of the national prize “Meilleure Jeune Boulangère de France” (2021) and has been awarded the MAF Boulangerie gold medal and the prestigious CAP de l’Excellence.

Julie trained at the Centre Bernard Stalter in Eschau and recently obtained the Brevet de Maîtrise en Boulangerie (master’s certificate in baking). She brings refined expertise and exceptional care to the work of Juliette.

At her side, Juliette – pain d’amour is committed to Foricher Les Moulins, a producer and supplier of high-quality French flours. Julie Unterreiner, who knows the special characteristics of these flours inside out, will ensure continuity and the highest standards in the production of bread and baked goods.

Lenka Stackova – A brilliant and passionate career change

Lenka Stackova first studied chemistry at the University of Brno, where she earned her master’s degree and then her PhD. She then came to Zurich and joined the University of Zurich as a research assistant. But even as a little girl, Lenka spent precious time baking with her grandmother, a passion that has never left her.

In 2017, her husband gave her a voucher for a course on “How to bake macarons” for Christmas, her first real step into the demanding world of French patisserie. Mastering the art of macaron making awakened a passion for French patisserie in her, which she deepened through courses and practice in her own kitchen. This perseverance ultimately led her to an important decision: in 2021, she decided to follow her calling and devote herself entirely to patisserie. After years of experience in renowned patisserie establishments, Lenka Stackova joined Juliette as sous chef in June 2024, where she quickly familiarized herself with the intricacies of artisanal French patisserie. Thanks to her aesthetic sensibility, she is known for her great precision and distinctive creativity.

In July 2025, Lenka was promoted to head pastry chef and has since been bringing her unique approach, which combines precision and passion, to Juliette’s bakery.
