The person behind the pastries

A love for the craft.
A heart for hospitality.

I’m Milene, a hands-on pastry professional with over four years of experience in artisanal baking and pastry production. In 2019, I founded Wolf Bakehouse in Asunción, Paraguay, turning my passion into a collection of more than 100 products.

From cakes and cookies to specialty desserts, I care about every step: choosing ingredients, preparing recipes, and keeping a kitchen organized. My work also includes gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free, and ketogenic recipes.

With hospitality experience in Ireland, I bring adaptability, reliability, and a collaborative spirit. I’m eager to learn new techniques and contribute to a professional kitchen team.

“Good baking is about more than a recipe. It’s about care.”

My baking style
& inspirations.

Culinary traditions

My baking style is rooted in the warmth and simplicity of traditional home baking, inspired by grandmother’s recipes, family traditions, and the comforting flavors of homemade treats.

I have a special appreciation for rustic, handcrafted baked goods made with natural, seasonal, and, whenever possible, organic ingredients. I believe that beautiful baking doesn’t always have to look perfect. Sometimes, its charm lies in its simplicity, authenticity, and homemade character.

My culinary inspirations come from Brazilian, Italian, Spanish, and American traditions, especially recipes passed down through generations.

While I love the rustic and nostalgic side of baking, I am always happy to learn new techniques, follow professional recipes, and adapt to different kitchen styles and standards.
