Why name *Vete-Katten*? Well, it is said that the name came about after Ester was asked what her pastry shop would be called, and then answered “Ja, det vete katten”, which in Swedish can mean both “the cat knows” and “the wheat cat”.

Another idea Ester had was to exclusively employ young women, which she lived up to until she passed away. She teamed up with a partner, Anna Skog, who initially was responsible for the production. After a few years Anna left and Ester continued to run Vete-Katten by herself until 1961 when she willed the patisserie to four of her employees. Two of them remained until 1979 when Vete-Katten was sold to Agneta and Östen Brolin. They in turn sold the legendary patisserie in 2012 to master pastry chef Johan Sandelin, who has worked in the company since 1997 and ensures the spirit of Vete-Katten lives on.
