From chemist to cake artist, Remi Guzel’s culinary journey has brought her to the heart of the Calgary’s baking scene.
Her north Calgary bakery offers a delightful array of artisanal pastries and cakes.
Ola Luna Cake & Bakeshop
Remi Guzel wasn’t always a baker and cake decorator. Her first life was a world away from flour and sugar, amidst the beakers and equations of a chemistry lab. But yearning for a more creative outlet, with a few twists and turns along the way, she took a leap of faith and traded test tubes for rolling pins. After studying baking and pastry arts, and working under chef Richard Harris, she moved west and opened Ola Luna. “Ola” is the Spanish word for wave and symbolizes the constant flow of creativity, and “luna,” the moon, represents aspirations. Guzel’s pastries are works of art. Meticulously crafted with a focus on “you eat with your eyes,” Guzel ensures they look as good as they taste. Specializing in artisanal cakes and pastries with unique flavour combinations and designs, Ola Luna also offers small-batch cupcakes, savoury bites and coffee drinks. Top sellers include the double-baked almond croissant, garlic feta roasted tomatoes croissant bun and German chocolate cake. “I see the people who visit our bakery not just as customers, but as part of the Ola Luna family,” says Guzel. “Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels like they are a valued part of our community.”
