Our story

Baking since I was four.
Still chasing perfect.

I’ve been baking since I was four years old. Every recipe at Luce is my own original creation, refined through more failed batches than I can count until each one became a winner.

Luce exists to prove one thing: eating healthier doesn’t have to mean giving up flavour. I bake with certified organic, natural ingredients so you never have to choose between what’s good for your body and what tastes incredible. If I wouldn’t happily eat it myself, it doesn’t leave my kitchen.

Today, Luce is a home kitchen and a garden in Nanaimo. The dream is a world-class bakery with locations around the world. I bake with absolute passion, and I won’t stop until the world tastes the difference.
