About us
About us — The story of Lago Bakery
Lago Bakery is an artisan home bakery in the Ticino region of Switzerland. Every day we create handmade bread and pastries with local ingredients, sourdough starter and slow fermentation — no additives, no shortcuts.
Awilda Suero — founder and soul of Lago Bakery
Behind Lago Bakery is Awilda — journalist, mother and passionate cook with a multicultural soul. Raised between the Caribbean and Spain, fluent in Spanish, English and Italian, Awilda brought to Ticino a unique vision: baking that brings cultures together at the table.
Her journey into artisan baking began in her home kitchen, experimenting with recipes alongside her children. What started as a family activity — kneading dough, mixing flours, waiting for bread to rise — became a true calling.
Her philosophy is simple and uncompromising: everything from scratch, nothing artificial. No preservatives, no shortcuts, no ingredients she wouldn't give her own children. Just flour, water, patience and love.
Our philosophy
Cultures meeting in bread
Awilda draws inspiration from the culinary traditions she has encountered throughout her life — Mediterranean flavours, Caribbean aromas, Central European techniques — blending them with Ticino's local ingredients. The result is a bakery that tastes of the world, rooted in Switzerland.
For her, healthy eating is not a trend but a way of life. Every recipe is born from the desire to nourish, not just feed. Every product is a small act of care for those who choose it.
