About the Baker Behind It All

Hi! I'm Emilia, the baker behind The Sunday Bakehouse.

The Sunday Bakehouse was born from some of my happiest childhood memories.

Every Sunday, I'd spend the day baking with my grandparents. We'd make everything from gooey cookies and fudgy brownies to celebration cakes and even traditional Italian treats. Baking wasn't just something we did, it was how we spent time together, laughed together and created memories I'll treasure forever.

When I moved away to study nursing, life became busy and baking slowly faded into the background.

After my grandparents sadly passed away, I found myself back in the kitchen.

Baking became my way of feeling close to them again, bringing back those Sunday memories with every recipe I made.

What started as a way to reconnect with those special moments soon became a passion I wanted to share with others.

Today, every bake from The Sunday Bakehouse is made with the same love, care and attention that those Sunday taught me, and I hope each box helps create special memories of your own.
