a little about me

119th Baker Street is my licensed home bakery in Portland, Oregon — a place where I pour my heart into every bake. I’m Janani Elavazhagan, author of “The Effortless Baker” , IACP Award Finalist and creator of @skillettoplate where I share my passion for simple, nourishing recipes that anyone can make at home. This bakery is an extension of that passion—bringing thoughtfully crafted, clean-ingredient bakes straight from my kitchen to yours.

I specialize in cakes and desserts that celebrate natural flavors — saffron, cardamom, pistachio rose, and more. You’ll find eggless cakes, date-sweetened cakes, no-refined-sugar and monk-fruit-sweetened bakes, as well as no-sugar smash cakes made especially for little ones.I also create custom white chocolate premium fondant cakes, crafted to look elegant and taste absolutely divine.

Everything from my kitchen is made fresh in small batches using organic ingredients, with no gelatin, stabilizers, or artificial dyes — only plant-based colors and pure, real ingredients
