I’m thrilled to embark on this journey of sharing my thoughts and insights through these blog posts. From now on, I’ll reach out to you more frequently, covering topics close to your heart and sprinkling in those little baking secrets essential for crafting the perfect sweet treat. But before diving into the wealth of tips and stories I have in store, I would like to introduce you to our brand, our cherished products, and the team behind them.
Those who’ve been with us on social media are likely familiar with our craft and our role in making your special occasions even more memorable. From birthdays and anniversaries to engagements, weddings, baby showers, and beyond, we’ve been there from the start, creating custom-made homemade sweets just for you!
Our journey began in 2016 when “Baš domaće,” a dream of my mother’s, came to life. Her vision was clear: to produce only the finest homemade sweets and savories, drawing from her recipes as well as those passed down from generations before her, like her grandmother and aunt. My path intertwined with the bakery’s when I enrolled in the Faculty of Education that same year, balancing my studies with the growing demands of our family business. The pandemic marked a turning point for us, as we shifted our focus entirely to sweets due to a surge in orders, honing our craft to perfection. Despite securing a job in my field of study, it took me just six months to realize that my passion for confectionery was undeniable. The urge to innovate and excel was stronger, prompting me to dedicate myself fully to nurturing our brand into something truly unique. And unique it is, for several reasons.
Our commitment to authenticity is paramount. When I say our products are homemade, I mean it in every sense of the word: free from artificial additives, nut substitutes, powdered eggs, and the like. It was only upon venturing into this sweet endeavor that I became aware of the myriad shortcuts available, none of which find a place in our recipes.
It might not be something I emphasize enough—possibly because the name “Baš domaće” speaks for itself—but our goods are the epitome of homemade, crafted with care and sincerity. Our team also embraces this philosophy, electing to stand alongside us in demonstrating that not only can such a brand exist, but it can also flourish. Attention to detail is at the heart of what we do, from the initial taste consultations to the final delivery and presentation of our products Every step is considered to ensure that what we create isn t just food, but an experience.
The family behind “Baš domaće” grew a couple of years ago when my sister, a tourism graduate who had spent years in her field, decided to bring her strength to our small enterprise. Her addition has only enriched our venture, leading us to expand our presence with a new sales location at Bulevar Mihajla Pupina 10D, in addition to our original spot in Voždovac.
I look forward to sharing more with you through these blogs, inviting you into our world of sweet creations and heartfelt stories. Until we meet again, whether it be in person at one of our locations or through the pages of this blog, I send you the sweetest of greetings. Warmly,
Marija
