Meet Your Baker - A Little Bit About Me
Hey everyone! 👋✨
I wanted to take a moment to stop and say a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you for supporting me and my small business!
🤍
If someone had told me years ago where my journey would lead, I would never have believed them. I started my professional career in economics as an accountant, and later followed my passion as a beauty therapist.
Sadly, due to health issues, I had to close my beauty salon—a heartbreaking moment, but life clearly had another sweet path waiting for me. 🌸
Baking has always been close to my heart, especially as my daughter-Natalia , was diagnosed with celiac disease and diabetes at just two years old.
For over two decades—she’s 25 now!—she was my biggest and most honest food critic, teaching me how to master gluten-free baking.
The real turning point came when my daughter trusted me to create a full dessert table and savory snacks for her wedding with Saidas . Entrusting me with such a massive responsibility on their big day meant the world to me. The reaction from the guests was incredible—the praise and compliments I received that day sparked the inspiration to officially launch my Home Bakery! 🎂💫.
Nine months later, I’m still so grateful that you ( Natalia Butkus , Saidas Butkus ) trusted my baking skills and believed in me on your big day❤️🥰🙏
Today, my menu offers something for absolutely everyone. While I am a dedicated celiac specialist strictly following all safety guidelines, I also bake delicious regular treats based on traditional Polish recipes passed down by my grandmother. Alongside these nostalgic classics, you’ll also find beloved UK favorites at my stall—like warm sticky toffee pudding, rich brownies, traditional Scottish tablet, and so much more!
Taking my home bakes out to the public was a huge leap of faith, but from the Finn Market and Stonehaven Farmers Market to the Music Hall Craft & Flea, and beyond, every event has been an unbelievable success with such heartwarming feedback! 🥹✨
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my family, friends, and especially to all of you, my amazing customers. Your support turns this dream into reality every single day.
I hope you’ll follow my page to watch my progress as this incredible journey unfolds.
Most of all, I hope you enjoy eating my bakes as much as I love baking them for you! 🤍🍰
With all my love and gratitude,
Paulina 👩🍳💕
