CAKES LIKE YOU’VE NEVER TASTED BEFOREMy name is Joanna and I am a passionate baker. I have been baking for my family and friends since I remember. When I was a child, the kitchen was always my favorite room, a happy place where I could spend hours and hours baking cakes and decorating cookies.
I specialize in authentic Polish recipes, inherited from my Grandmother, but it was in fact my parents who instilled in me passion for making beautifully decorated cookies and cakes. Grand Bakeress was a long time project that has finally come alive. Welcome to my kitchen! Welcome to the world of Grand Bakeress!

SZARLOTKAAll times favourite, Polish Apple Pie. "Szarlotka" is one of the most popular Polish desserts. This shortcrust pastry filled with fruits was an invention of Marie-Antoine Carême who worked for Tsar Alexander I. A cake called "charlotte russe" owned its name to Princess Charlotte, sister-in-law of the Emperor.

CHEESECAKECheese, cheese, more cheese and chocolate on top. This classic, creamy, moist and delicious cake doesn't need any extras. Ok, I can add some raisins, sultanas, figs or candied orange peel if you are a fan.

BABKA"Babka" is a traditional Polish and Lithuanian confectionery, particularly popular for Easter. This sweet yeast cake of many flavours, baked since 17th century, required 15 egg yolks! Available in different flavours and in yeast-free option!
