Welcome to my little corner of comfort and sugar.
I’m Shaderra, the baker, dreamer, and storyteller behind Dot’s Petite Bakery Co. This blog isn’t just about desserts — it’s about memories, warmth, and the magic that happens when love and flour mix in just the right way.
This bakery is named in honor of my grandmother, Dorothy — lovingly known as Dot. She was the heart of every holiday, the warmth in every bite, and the reason I fell in love with baking. Some of my best memories were made in her kitchen, where the air smelled like cinnamon, and every treat came with a story.
Dot’s Petite Bakery Co. was born from that spirit — a place where nostalgia lives, stories are shared, and even the simplest cake holds a memory.
Though I’m not baking full-time right now, this blog is my way of keeping the oven warm. Here, you’ll find cozy reflections, behind-the-scenes dreams, and sweet inspiration as I prepare for my bakery’s next chapter.
So whether you’re here for recipes, stories, or simply a little slice of peace — I’m so glad you stopped by.
Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, and stay a while. ✨
✨ Why This Blog Exists
This blog is more than just frosting and flour — it’s a love letter to the memories, moments, and magic that made me fall in love with baking in the first place.
Dot’s Petite Bakery Co. was inspired by my grandmother, who taught me that the kitchen wasn’t just a place for recipes — it was where laughter, warmth, and family came together. Even though I’m not currently baking full-time, I wanted a space where that spirit could live on.
This blog exists to:
- Keep the dream of my bakery alive while I prepare for what’s next
- Share the stories behind the sweets — the memories, meanings, and inspiration
- Create a cozy online home for others who find comfort in nostalgia, dessert, and the joy of simple things
Whether you’re here for a little inspiration, a walk down memory lane, or just to enjoy some sweet storytelling — you’re in the right place.
