Hi! I’m really glad you’re here.

This whole thing started when I was visiting Tokyo. One day, I wandered into this little café—nothing fancy, just a cozy spot tucked away on a quiet street. I saw something on the counter I didn’t recognize, so I asked what it was. “Canelé,” they said. I figured, why not try it?

I had no idea that tiny pastry would change everything.

The texture, the flavor—crunchy on the outside, soft and custardy inside, with this rich vanilla and caramel taste. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. When I got back home, I decided to try making them myself. Spoiler: it didn’t go great at first.

What I thought would be a fun weekend project turned into a year of trial and error. I tested so many recipes, played around with different molds, temperatures, ingredients… you name it. It was frustrating sometimes, but I genuinely loved the process of trying to get it just right.

Eventually, I found my version of the perfect canelé. And once I did, I knew I wanted to share it with others. That’s how this bakery started—just one person falling in love with a pastry and deciding to build something around it.

So now, I bake canelés for people who are as curious (and hopefully as delighted) as I was when I tried my first one. Thanks for being part of this little adventure.
