About Us

I’m a self-taught pastry chef. My journey began unexpectedly - in 2020, two years after my daughter was born, I decided to bake her a carrot cake for her birthday. It turned out incredibly delicious, and that moment sparked my passion for baking. I became fascinated with this process, studied a lot of different information, tried recipes and found my own style and direction in this area. Over time, I started taking custom orders. It was a hobby and a joy for me, as my main focus was raising my daughter. I never actively promoted myself as a pastry chef - everything grew naturally. Then the war began, and everything changed. My daughter and I moved to Germany, where we lived for 15 months. Eventually, we returned to Ukraine, hoping for peace. Sadly, just three days after our return, there was a missile strike that hit a residential building only 700 meters from our home.

We were lucky - but others were not. The situation only worsened, almost every night we hid in a shelter, slept poorly and did not live a normal life like all Ukrainians. That terrifying experience pushed us to make the decision to move to the United States. Before the war, we owned a small business in Ukraine. We worked with schools and offered portrait and themed photo shoots, created graduation albums, and photographed school events. I was the art director, responsible for designing photo zones and retouching images. Creativity has always been part of who I am - even as a teenager, I loved to sew, knit, weave, and make jewelry. We truly enjoyed our work, even though running a business is never easy. It gave us everything we needed, and one of the greatest blessings it brought us was the ability to travel during the summer. Those travels brought joy, inspiration, and unforgettable memories that we still carry with us.
