Kimberly Bugler - Pastry Chef

Kimberly Bugler
Executive Pastry Chef

Kimberly Bugler has the “sweetest” position at ’21’. An accomplished pastry chef, she recently joined ’21’ after a brief stint at newcomer Dennis Foy. Prior to that, she spent three years as executive pastry chef at J.W. Marriott Resort in Las Vegas. Kimberly was her class valedictorian at French Culinary Institute, receiving her Grand Diplome in Culinary Arts.

Kimberly has enhanced ’21’s dessert menu by expertly blending classic items with her globally-influenced sumptuous treats.  Luscious new additions include Cappuccino Cheesecake, Raspberry Hazelnut Financier, Dark Chocolate Marquise, Strawberries and Cream Dome, and Chocolate Orange Tart. Regular ’21’ patrons are remarking that our classic desserts, including vanilla ice cream profiteroles, crème brûlée, apple pie with walnut streussel, and vanilla bean and cinnamon rice pudding have never been bettter.

Her creativity and sophisticated presentation is delighting the discerning palates of ’21’s patrons; her beautiful creations have been featured in Art Culinaire; New York; Discovery Channel’s The World Culinary Olympics; TLC’s Extreme Weddings; and Food Network’s broadcast of the National Pastry Team Championship.

Kimberly was her class valedictorian at French Culinary Institute, receiving her Grand Diplome in Culinary Arts. Her path to ‘21’ has been quite interesting and creative. She completed two years of opera studies at Oklahoma City University. She is fluent in French and proficient in Italian. Like many working mothers, Kimberly is juggling her demanding position with her bi-coastal family: her husband Marcus and two daughters, Katie (17) and Marlina (9), still reside in Las Vegas so Katie can finish high school there.
