About the Founder
Hi, I’m Maryna — a Ukrainian baker, a mom, and the hands behind every dessert at Mini Lu.
I started baking here in the U.S. late at night, when the house was quiet and I needed something of my own. That first Easter, just weeks after we arrived, I baked Ukrainian Easter cake (paska) for my family — and for my brother’s family, who we were living with then. They encouraged me to share it. One post turned into orders, and orders turned into stories.
Again and again, I heard the same words:
“This tastes like home.”
That’s what I’ve come to believe: taste holds memory.
And through every Mini Lu dessert, I offer people a way to feel close to what they miss most.
I bake everything the way I would for my own family — fresh, by hand, and with care you can feel. Even the simple decorations with berries became part of our story — just because I didn’t know the professional way. And it turns out, people love it just the way it is.
Wherever you are, you can still have that piece of home — one bite at a time.

Maryna did a spectacular job on our wedding cake. She assembled it on site and the guests loved watching her presentation. Even more, they enjoyed tasting the final creation. The cake was delicious. I would heartily recommend Minilu Bakery for a fun and delicious experience.
