The Sweet Tooth Awakening

Ever since I was a child in Poland, I’ve had an insatiable sweet tooth. Cakes, pastries, and anything chocolaty—these were my weaknesses. But it wasn’t just about indulging in sugary delights; it was about the magic that happened in the kitchen. My mother, a skilled baker, would create traditional Polish cakes with love and precision. Every week, our home would be filled with the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked treats. And yes, you guessed it—I eagerly awaited those weekly baking sessions.

From Numbers to Flour

Fast forward a decade. I found myself knee-deep in the world of finance, crunching numbers and analyzing spreadsheets. It paid the bills, but my heart yearned for something more. One day, as I stared at yet another financial report, it hit me: life was too short to be confined to Excel sheets. I wanted to follow my passion—the one that had been simmering since childhood.

The YouTube Rabbit Hole

With newfound determination, I quit my job. Suddenly, I had time—an abundance of it. So, what did I do? I dove headfirst into the world of online baking tutorials. Professional bakers became my virtual mentors. Their hands danced across mixing bowls, their ovens whispered secrets, and their creations were nothing short of edible art. They inspired me to experiment, to develop my own recipes, and to push the boundaries of flavour and presentation.

Traditional vs. Modern

As much as I adored traditional Polish cakes—the comforting scent of cinnamon, the layers of delicate sponge—I couldn’t ignore the allure of modern desserts. French patisserie, with its intricate designs and harmonious flavours, beckoned me. I wanted to blend the old with the new, to create something uniquely mine.

The Artistic Experiment

And so, armed with flour, sugar, and a dash of courage, I embarked on a sweet adventure. But there was a twist—I stumbled upon an amazing technology. It allowed me to transform my desserts into edible art. Suddenly, my pastries weren’t just delicious; they were visually appealing too. For the first time, I saw the creative side of myself—the one that had been dormant for far too long.

From Passion to Business

The decision was made: I would turn my passion into a business. Armed with apron strings and determination, I set up my own little baking business. Started off simply with selling to friends, but through word of mouth my network of clients expanded. Each creation told a story, and I revelled in being both artist and chef.

So here I am, whisking, folding, and sprinkling stardust onto my confections. In each bite lies a piece of my heart—a sweet reminder that dreams can be baked into reality, one flour-dusted adventure at a time.

Smacznego!..
