Our Story
Notes from a small Prior Lake kitchen.
HOW WE STARTED
Baking the long way
Nassu Cakes was founded on a simple premise: that real food takes time. I started baking out of my home kitchen in Prior Lake, initially just making sourdough for my family and the occasional cake for a friend's child.
What began as a hobby quickly filled the house with the scent of caramelized sugar and fresh yeast. Before long, neighbors were knocking on the door asking if they could buy a loaf or order a birthday cake. We've grown since then, but our core process hasn't changed a bit.
We still measure every gram of flour by hand, we still whip our buttercreams in small batches, and we still refuse to use artificial shortcuts. It's the only way we know how to bake.

Founder & Head Baker
Baking is as much about chemistry as it is about art, but at the end of the day, it's about comfort. When someone trusts us with their wedding cake or a family brunch, they are letting us share in their most personal moments.
We take that trust seriously. That's why we obsess over the texture of our sponge, the balance of our curds, and the crispness of our croissants. If it isn't perfect, it doesn't leave our kitchen.
