How did you get into cake design?
My interest in cake decorating started at a young age. I would collect the Wilton yearly cake decorating magazines for inspiration and technique. By age 12, I was creating cake designs for family birthdays and holidays. From there, I found my love of pastry and desserts and after graduating pastry school, I followed my dream of professional baking and cake decorating.
What do you love most about cakes?
Cake is edible artistry and it’s often the centerpiece of celebrations. I love that it combines delicious flavours with the art of design.
In the last 20 years, what has been your favourite moment with Crave?
It’s hard to pinpoint one favourite moment. I’m just so glad I took a chance and applied for the pastry chef job 20 years ago. Having the opportunity to follow my career dreams has been amazing especially within such a great company.
What’s your favourite cake that you’ve designed?
I’ve had the privilege to create so many cakes for so many wonderful people and events. But my two favourite cakes I’ve designed have been my siblings' wedding cakes. After graduating from pastry school, I made my very first wedding cake for my brother’s wedding. A beautiful design with so many little handmade sugar flowers. More recently, I made my little sister’s wedding cake. An elegant mountain themed design for her wedding in Banff.
