About Me

Hi there! I’m Catarina, the mom, stepmom, and creative heart behind What Mommy Bakes. As a mother of three, my life is a beautiful (and sometimes messy!) blend of love, laughter, and lots of creativity.

My passion for baking and crafts began after the birth of my first daughter. I discovered immense joy in baking delicious treats and creating DIY projects, even though I’m not the most crafty person—let’s just say my clumsiness is part of my creative process! Whether it’s flour on my face or a little hot glue accident, there’s always a funny story behind every project I make.

Through What Mommy Bakes, I want to share my love for the handmade—whether it’s a freshly baked cookie or a special project. Here you’ll find easy-to-follow recipes, fun DIY ideas, and plenty of real-life moments that prove that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful.

Come to the kitchen and work table with me as we bake, create, and embrace the mess together!
