Mission of Christina Bakes
I started Christina Bakes because I grew up sampling European pastries baked by my mum and I wanted to share these fantastic flavors with the world. European style desserts are based in simplicity and elegance, and have much less butter and sugar than their American counter parts.
While I do strive to make some of my favorite American desserts like carrot cake and red velvet cake, I have altered the recipes to have a European flair. I do not believe in using any chemical based products so each product I sell is made from only natural ingredients. When possible, I always source locally, and I do not add any preservatives or unnatural colors to my products.
I hope you will join me in exploring the fine taste of European cakes, pastries, and breads. Life is short…so let’s get baking!
