I studied psychology in business at one of Russia’s top universities and spent seven years in HR, where I achieved great results. My job was to understand what people really want, and I was good at it.

Then sport changed everything. I started making “healthy” desserts, and I quickly found the secret: a healthy dessert is one made from real ingredients, in the right balance, and it has to be delicious.

In 2015 I started my journey in baking in Russia. I trained with great chefs in French technique and put that knowledge into practice with real customers. As a result, I created my own unique menu.

In August 2023 I brought it all to Melbourne. I learned what people here love, and my flavours are still unique, but now with an Australian influence. Many clients tell me they’ve never tasted anything like them.

Cake wasn’t my choice. It came into my life with my heart. I love challenging myself, and that’s why my cakes are not only delicious, they are unique too. I plan every detail with a technical mind, which is why a wedding cake for a hundred guests is as personal as a birthday cake for ten.

Every order is still a challenge, and I’m still in love with the job.
