About Me

Hi! I’m Leonor.

Nothing makes me happier than indulging in a chocolate dessert. Anything with chocolate is attractive and irresistible to me—but honestly, I love all desserts.

I spent 10 years as a professional baker and cake designer in Germany, creating elaborate traditional desserts for celebrations and special occasions. Then everything changed when I was diagnosed with multiple food intolerances—gluten, dairy, and refined sugar were suddenly off-limits.

I had two choices: give up the desserts I loved, or completely revolutionise my approach to baking. I chose the latter.

What began as a personal health necessity became my greatest professional breakthrough. I discovered functional baking—using nutrient-dense ingredients that actually support your body instead of working against it. I was sceptical at first (would it actually taste good?), but after countless tests and refinements, I created desserts that are indistinguishable from traditional versions in taste and texture, yet leave you feeling energised instead of guilty.

That “devastating” diagnosis? It became the best thing that ever happened to my baking career.

Today, as a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and functional baker, I help others transform their favourite desserts into functional treats—without sacrificing the beauty, taste, or joy that makes desserts special.

All my desserts are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Many are vegan, and all my recipes are easily adaptable for people managing diabetes. I teach you exactly how to do this in my Functional Desserts Masterclass.

My mission? To help everyone with food restrictions—or anyone following a special diet—learn how to transform or create recipes adapted to their individual health needs, so they can keep enjoying delicious desserts without compromising their health, just like I did.

I wish you all a sweet, happy day!

About Me

Hi! I’m Leonor.

If there is something that makes me happy, it is indulging in a chocolate dessert. Anything with chocolate is attractive and irresistible to me. But I actually love desserts in general.

I was a traditional baker and cake designer in Germany for about 10 years, until I found out that I have several food intolerances. I had to revolutionise my baking and adapt all recipes to my health situation. That is when I discovered functional baking and the benefits of healthy baking. At first, I was suspicious about the flavour and consistency I would get but now, all my desserts taste very similar to the original and I can eat totally guilt-free. What initially was a shock became a blessing to me!

All my desserts are gluten-free, dairy-free, white sugar free, some are vegan. All my recipes are also easily adaptable to people suffering from diabetes. And I teach you how to do that in my Functional Desserts Masterclass.

My mission is to help everyone who has food restrictions- or follows some special diet – to learn how to transform or create recipes adapted to their individual health needs, so they can keep enjoying delicious desserts without jeopardising their health – just like me!

I wish you all a sweet happy day!
