I’ve always found joy in creating—whether it was crafting delicate paper flowers, designing wedding cakes, or arranging fresh blooms. There’s something magical about working with your hands, bringing something to life from the simplest ingredients. But baking? That has always been part of my soul.
Growing up as the oldest of eight children, I spent countless hours helping my mom with her home bakery business. I saw firsthand the love, patience, and tradition that go into making something from scratch. It was in those moments that my passion for baking truly took root.
Then, I discovered sourdough, and everything changed. The process fascinated me—the way a simple mix of flour and water could transform into something alive, bubbling with energy, and capable of creating the most flavorful, nourishing bread. I fell in love, not just with the taste, but with the tradition, history, and connection that sourdough brings to the table.
Now, I’ve started something small but meaningful, right from my home kitchen. I create dehydrated sourdough starters, carefully nurtured to help you bake delicious, homemade bread with ease. I also handcraft beeswax bread bags, offering a natural and sustainable way to keep your loaves fresh.
It’s not a big business, but it’s one filled with love. Every product is made with care, using only high-quality, natural ingredients—because I believe the best things in life should be pure, simple, and nourishing.
