Story

Preparing and making food has always been an essential part of my life. I have many wonderful memories growing up in beautiful Poland, where food is made with love, from scratch. It’s rooted in the culture, and meal preparation is also a social time for many households, where stories are shared with closed ones while making dumplings, stirring great pot of Hunters Stew or making compotes, jams and other preserves for a winter season. To this day I miss it dearly. So food is part of my soul, and sweet food is, where I find comfort.

In my early twenties I moved to Wales to study criminology and languages, but I soon realised I was climbing a ladder to nowhere, and my passion for the food of my childhood is stronger than ever, so I lost myself in cooking. I mean, literally, my escape from boring degree and troubles, was always the kitchen…  I was determined to polish my skills and work hard on new techniques. I have applied for many chefs roles, starting from the very bottom. After one or two massive steps in my career I found myself running a pastry section in one of the very few Michelin Star Welsh restaurants- Ynyshir run by truly amazing Head Chef.

After moving to Bristol, I started making cakes for friends and family. It took me a while to realise what I want in life, and trust me it didn’t come easily to me. I had an opportunity to make a wedding cake for a friend and it was a undescribed joy that it delivered, not just for me but also the bride and the groom that got me thinking. It’s not a job, it’s a passion, a safe haven. It’s an opportunity to me to finally be who I am; someone who delights in creating beautiful things inspired by all the splendour and diversity of nature and being certain it will be an integral part of a very special day. 

Now, after moving to beautiful Yorkshire, we are ready for new challenges.
