Victoria Parent is currently a Professional Culinary Chef in TorontoCanada with 15 years Hotel and Restaurant experience. Floral SugarArt and Wedding Cakes became her interest only 4 years ago when she created her very first wedding cake – for her own wedding."I had the basic skills of pastry and baking from my years at the Culinary Academy, but chose to concentrate on Classic Cuisine for many years." "When it was time to order my own wedding cake I really wanted a cake that show-cased exquisite hand made sugar flowers but had difficulty finding anythingI truly loved – so I made my own! I began 3 months before the big day making over 1000 roses, freesia, sweet peas and stephanotis in shades of Pink and Ivory "It was extraordinary, a real labor of love! "That cake is not showcased in my portfolio or anywhere on my website gallery"…"I’ll never duplicate that design again"…." it was created from my heart, for my special day."
