Meet The Baker

Hi, I’m Natalia! Dough & Co. started with a love for baking, creativity, and making life’s moments feel a little more special.

I didn’t set out to start a business. I decided to try decorating sugar cookies for fun one Christmas, and they turned out better than I expected. But what surprised me most was how much I loved the process. There’s something so satisfying about starting with an idea and watching all the little details come together into a finished set. That quickly turned into creating cookies for other people’s celebrations, and Dough & Co. was born.

Today, my favorite part is taking your inspiration—an invitation, color palette, theme, venue, or even just an idea—and turning it into a completely custom set designed specifically for your event. I’m incredibly detail-oriented, so I love the little things that make a set feel personal and truly yours. But the best part is seeing your reaction and hearing how much you and your guests loved them. Knowing something I created brought a little extra joy and excitement to your celebration is what makes it all worth it.

Whether they’re for a wedding, shower, birthday, corporate event, or another reason to celebrate, every cookie is baked and decorated by hand right here in South Tampa.

I can’t wait to create something for you.

Where it all began

My love for baking started long before Dough & Co., thanks in large part to my mom and both of my grandmas. Growing up Greek, there was always something being made in the kitchen—from Greek pastries to Christmas sugar cookies—and I was usually right there learning alongside them. So many of the skills and little traditions they taught me are still part of how I bake today. Even back then, one of my favorite parts was watching everyone enjoy what we made.
