My name is Natalia, and I’ve been calling Edwards, Colorado my home since 2018. My journey in the culinary world started with a humble Cottage Food business, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a pastry chef in renowned hotels and restaurants across Vail, Beaver Creek, Avon, and Edwards. After two years as a head chef, and training with some of the best pastry chefs online, I knew it was time to follow my passion for baking and pastry design full-time.

Baking is not just a job for me—it’s a lifelong passion. I love learning new techniques and perfecting my craft, all with the goal of making people’s days a little brighter, one pastry at a time.

I’m also a proud mother of two adult children (daughter Liza and son Philipp), a grandmother to a wonderful grandson Jacob, and I owe a lot of my success to the unwavering support of my husband, Michael.

Before moving to the USA, I spent over 20 years teaching Russian language and literature in Russia. It was destiny that brought me here, thanks to my marriage to Michael. Starting fresh in a new country at over 40 wasn’t easy, but I’ve found joy in turning my love for baking into a business. I’ve always enjoyed creating cakes, cookies, and paintings, and now I can dedicate myself fully to what I love.

When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll likely find me hiking, skiing, traveling, or attending costume parties with friends.

Thank you for stopping by—let’s make something sweet together!
