Welcome to My Kitchen!
Hi! I'm Ania - I am the recipe developer, photographer, and videographer for Taffey Bakery! My blog is all about simple recipes with everyday ingredients. On my baking blog you'll find hundreds of sweet treat recipes that'll hopefully inspire you to create them with me!
How I got here
Growing up, I spent a lot of my weekends baking with my mama. I would take pictures of what we baked on the family camera. In 2014, I began my YouTube channel SweetTreats. I was only 14 years old and begged my mama to let me film what we bake. Although she wasn't even sure what I was doing, she saw how passionate I was and gave me permission (thanks mama!) It was then I was able to combine my love for videography and baking together.
From a young age I also knew I wanted to become a teacher, so that's exactly what I did! During COVID when everything was shut down, I was doing online school and thought now is the perfect opportunity to start Taffey Bakery. I graduated from university in 2023 and have been food blogging full-time ever since. Combining my passion for teaching with love for baking and photography has been a dream come true for me. If only my 14 year old self who was filming on her iPod Touch in the kitchen could fast forward and see where we are today! This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I feel incredibly blessed to share my passion for baking from my kitchen to yours.
All of my recipes have been tested in my own kitchen. They have photos underneath for easy-to-follow visual directions, so you can make them in your home too!
Meaning Behind the Name
The meaning behind Taffey Bakery is quite simple. My love for baking began on Taffey Street. In late 2021 I started Taffey Bakery, and the rest is history!
