Hi !
my name is lina, 37 years old passionate home-baker living in atlanta. Food is my love language, especially if it is sweet. I love creating new recipes and sharing the joy of baking with people around the world, and am so happy you're here.
I’ve been in love with cooking since I was a child helping out my mom in the kitchen and it’s something that has stuck with me since.
My mom is one of the best cooks I know and having been raised with such delicious food has blown my standards through the roof. We never really ate out much since my mom made most of everything herself; a trait then passed on to me. Almost every time I eat out I think to myself, “Can I make this at home, better and cheaper?” The answer is often: Yes. Yes I can.
How It All Started
bake with lina actually came about because I just love baking, and I really believe in the magic of homemade desserts. Some of the best memories are spent in the kitchen with my mother, picking up her secret recipes, and seeing how she could turn flour, butter, and sugar into the coolest treats.
Those amazing moments triggered my love for baking and taught me the importance of bonding people through food.
I started this blog as a way to document these beautiful moments-when family recipes feel cozy, trying something for the very first time is such a delight, and the look of satisfaction when people savor what I’ve prepared. I believe everyone can create something delicious with a little guidance, and that’s what I’m here for. Why You Can Trust Me
With over 10 years of baking experience, from home kitchen experiments to professional-level decorating, I’ve gathered the tips and techniques that make baking fun and approachable for everyone. While I’m not a formally trained chef, my expertise comes from hands-on experience, countless hours spent testing recipes, and a deep passion for perfecting every cake, cookie, and pastry I share. I believe in explaining every detail, so you always feel confident when you try out one of my recipes.
I also make it a point to research and test every recipe thoroughly. If you see it on this site, you can trust that it’s been lovingly created, carefully tested, and truly worth making.
To bring each dessert to life visually, my team and I use a mix of photography, editing, and smart tools that help highlight the details you’d notice if the cake were right in front of you.
A Little More About Me
Other than being covered in a cloud of flour and sugar in the kitchen, you can find me globe-trotting! My husband and I really love traveling, and I feel so blessed to have seen 22 countries so far, and I am still counting.
I am always on the lookout for new flavors, cool desserts, and baking traditions that locals do to inspire something for my stuff back home. From fancy pastry shops in Paris to street sweets in Southeast Asia, it’s always an adventure that molds my recipes and builds up an adrenaline rush while baking.
