A story is in a name. A name is the first gift, the first label, the first spell. It can anchor you—or dare you to grow beyond it. Say it long enough and it learns your voice.

My name is Alice. My love for baking began long before this little home bakery ever existed—it started in my mom’s kitchen, long time ago in Romania. Some of my earliest memories are of standing beside her, apron on, watching flour-dusted hands work magic, learning that baking isn’t just about ingredients, but about patience, care, and love. Mom taught me that food has the power to comfort, to celebrate, and to bring people together. And this is what I have been doing for more than 30 years, cooking and baking for my loved ones.

And then I discovered the magic and benefits of sourdough. What started as a quiet passion grew into something I couldn’t ignore. Every recipe I bake today carries a piece of the joy of making something from the heart. 

After losing my mom to cancer in 2025, I wanted to keep her joy of baking and cooking alive. And what better way to do so? This micro bakery is my way of honouring what my mom shared with me and I strive to pass that feeling on to you. Every batch is homemade, thoughtfully crafted, and baked with the same love that started it all.

The name of the bakery is inspired from my mom’s name - Nina, so Mama Nina turned into MaMiNa Bakery. 

Every order supports a dream- my dream, a home kitchen, and countless hours spent baking with care. If my treats bring a little joy to your table, that’s everything to me.
Thank you for choosing homemade; thank you for choosing MaMiNa Bakery- it truly means the world. 

With gratitude,

Alice
