About Me

Hi, I'm Sasha.

I'm a professional patisserie chef with over 35 years experience, and I've spent my whole working life baking in all kinds of kitchens, from busy bakeries and cafés to events, restaurants, and home kitchens just like yours.

Baking has always been both my craft and my comfort. I started young, discovered patisserie early on, and have never stopped learning how small details, temperature, timing, touch, make all the difference between a bake that's fine and one that feels good.

How I teach

Over the years, I've learned that most baking frustration doesn't come from lack of effort, it comes from lack of understanding.

That's why I teach the why as much as the how.

My approach is calm, practical, and reassuring. I don't rush, and I don't expect perfection. Instead, I help you understand what you're looking for at each stage of a bake, how the dough should feel, how a mixture should look, and how to make small adjustments when things don't go exactly to plan.

I believe that confidence in the kitchen comes from experience, clarity, and trust, not from complicated recipes or chasing picture perfect results.

What Cakes by Sasha is about

Cakes by Sasha is where I share what I've learned over decades of professional baking, translated gently for home bakers.

A slower, more reflective way of baking through my Monthly Baking Club

Everything I offer is designed to support you, not overwhelm you, whether you're baking for people you love, for special occasions, or simply for yourself.

A note on experience

After many years years in professional kitchens, I know that the most meaningful baking doesn't come from doing more, it comes from slowing down and paying attention.

Thats what I aim to pass on: the confidence to trust your instincts, enjoy the process, and feel proud of what comes out of your oven
