OUR STORY

Growing up in Eastern Europe, Seni and her daughter Hyuliya were able to experience multi-cultural cuisines. As a trained baker and restaurant co-owner, Seni always loved experimenting in the kitchen and created unique treats with love, attention to quality and details. When Seni moved to the United States about a decade ago, she attended two schools and learned English in her late 50s, obtained a driver's license and became a US citizen at 60 yrs old. Seni became interested in other cuisines and alternative diets given her daughter's dietary needs and kept innovating to develop healthier, lower calorie and protein dessert alternatives, and unique treats. Combined with Hyuliya's business management consulting background and Seni's passion for baking, Seni was able to establish her small bakery at the age of 64, thus fulfilling her lifelong dream and living her American Dream. Seni and Hyuliya enjoy an active lifestyle often exercising at the local gym, enjoying festivals, fairs, art, good food, traveling and giving back to the community.
