Our Story

“Dad, you should stop eating donuts, it is so unhealthy!” This is what my daughter told me at eight years old, on a warm sunny day in the spring of 2018. I know you have a sweet tooth, but I can bake for you!

“But you don’t know how to bake my little munchkin.” I told her in response.

“I will learn, I found a good looking blueberry muffin recipe, Mom and I will make them today!”

And that is how Ellie’s Pastry Shop started, we named it after her.

Native Moldavians, we moved to the United States almost 30 years ago. My childhood memories filled with the smell of fresh baking in the early morning. Hot buns, frosted custard icing, cinnamon pies and so much more are forever remembered. Both my wife’s  family and mine have always baked, as was very common of most families from our home country. These traditions have passed down through generations, and we are passing it on to our children for future generations.
