Gateaux Dulce Details
At Gateaux Dulce, we create low-sugar, high-protein desserts that help you celebrate all the sweet and rich moments of life, without the guilt and negative effects related to sugar addiction. We create personalized high-flavour chocolate truffles, layer cakes and homemade confections inspired by the Romanian, Canadian, American, and other European culture desserts. My name is Karen and I'm a huge foodie, so that also translates to being curious and experimental in the kitchen! I love cooking since I started to experiment as an adult, but I've been initiated to baking as a young girl helping my grandmas in the kitchen. When I was diagnosed with ADHD, I realized I had an addiction to sugar, which worsened the problematic behaviours, mood swings, and difficulties regulating brain functions like focusing and prioritisation. That is how Gateaux Dulce, my home-based bakery, came to be. I chose Dulce, because it's a beautiful word that evokes that melt-in-your-mouth texture (think: dulce de leche) but also because it means sweet in Romanian, which is half of my heritage, and European flavors are a big inspiration for me in the kitchen. Here's to enjoying the sweet life, and surrounding yourself with happy and sweet moments when you can... the Dulce lifestyle! In Romanian, that's "Viata Dulce"!
