Our values

A s a pastry chef, I believe that every creation should reflect care, quality, and intention. That is why it is important for me to use high-quality ingredients in the preparation of my cakes and other sweets because I know that the best flavors begin at the source. I make only fresh cakes, and the preparation begins no more than three days before your requested date. I never freeze cake layers, creams, or fillings - everything is made fresh, from scratch, and with love. This commitment to freshness is a core part of my work and something that will never change.

    The ingredients I choose are the heart of my cakes. I always work with high-quality staples like organic avocado oil, grapeseed oil or olive oil, premium butter, top-grade flour, organic eggs and milk, rich natural cocoa, Callebaut Belgian chocolate, natural vanilla, and Philadelphia cream cheese. Nothing that can spoil the taste of cakes I make for you. All of my cakes feature homemade fillings - salted caramel, berry and fruit compotes, lemon or orange curd - each one made fresh for every individual cake. I never reuse fillings; they’re tailored to match the flavors and textures of each specific order.

    At the core of my cakes is a cream cheese frosting, which I believe is the most delicious and versatile. My daughter loves it so much she eats it by the spoonful! It’s moderately sweet, because I believe in letting the real flavors shine through. Many of my clients have shared how much they appreciate this balanced sweetness. The reason is that I use only a small amount of powdered sugar and butter in my cream cheese frosting, which is crucial for the overall taste of the cake. After all, when combined with the fillings, the cream cheese frosting creates just the right level of sweetness.

There's a piece of my soul in every cake. I love what I do for the joy it brings to people!

I don’t know how Natalie does it! Her delicious cakes are both light and wonderfully rich. From cupcakes, “pops”, and gluten free specialties, to her signature multi-level Honey Cakes, her baking expertise delights the folks of the Columbia River Gorge. Natalie is also quite an artist with her decoration as well as the flavors she creates with different fruits and European spices. Her wedding cakes are amazing. We are lucky to have her here with us from Ukraine.

I cannot recommend Natalia enough. From the very beginning, she was warm, kind, and attentive, making the whole process such a joy. She listened carefully to my ideas and transformed them into something even more wonderful than I could have imagined. Natalia is truly a master of her craft, and her passion shines through in every detail.
