Where Baking Becomes Art

Baking as Your Personal Canvas for Self-Expression

Baking is so much more than just following a recipe and creating something delicious. It is a form of self-expression that allows you to showcase your creativity and personality. Each baked good is a unique work of art, made with love and care.

Self-Care in Every Bake

Baking for the Soul

Whether you're kneading dough, whisking eggs, or frosting a cake, the process of baking is a therapeutic and fulfilling experience. It allows you to channel your emotions and create something beautiful and delicious from scratch.

OUR COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

We’re dedicated to building a caring community that celebrates the beauty of shared experiences, uniting people from all backgrounds.

Behind the Apron

Meet Mary-Anne

With over two decades of dedicated baking experience, I'm a self-taught baker and cake decorator. The journey to founding Atelier Zamara began in February 2018, with a cake baked for my first daughter's 6th birthday. Witnessing her joy and the warm feedback from family and friends kindled the spark of a homemade dessert business.

As a mother of eight young children, I went on a four-year quest, passionately exploring the art of cake decorating through countless hours of research and practice. It wasn't just about mastering recipes and techniques; it was about nurturing creativity amidst the whirlwind of parenthood.

With a degree in Early Childhood Education from Lasalle College in 2014 and an ASP degree in Starting a Business from Shadd Health and Business Centre in 2010, my vision crystallized. I saw an opportunity to merge my skills in business, baking, and childcare to create a unique dessert experience for kids and dessert enthusiasts alike.

Then, the world faced the challenge of a pandemic in 2020. In the midst of uncertainty, I felt a deep desire to leave a lasting legacy for my children. It was during this time that my journey took an even more profound turn. I crafted DIY cookie and cupcake kits to engage my kids during lockdown, bringing a sprinkle of joy into our lives.

But it was the cancellation of Halloween, an annual childhood delight, that inspired a game-changing idea. I created Halloween goodies boxes for local kids who couldn't go trick-or-treating. It was a gesture of love and community that transformed my life. This act of kindness led me from baking cakes to hosting workshops, paving the way for the dream of a DIY baking studio.

At Atelier Zamara, we embrace every moment as an opportunity to create, inspire, and connect. Through this journey, I've learned that in the sweetest moments of life, we find our true calling.
