Meet the Dessert Lady

"Four key elements I strive for are: Simplicity, Creativity, Flavors, and Passion.  These are my beliefs and guiding principles."
~ Dessert Lady
 
Mandy has always had a strong passion for baking and creating desserts. She fell in love with food when she was little. Dining out and trying innovative food whether at a gourmet shop or a fine dining restaurant are Mandy's favorite things to do. It's always been her dream to open a shop to create her own pastry world. Making "yummy" treats for people and ensuring her customers are happy gives her satisfaction and motivation.
 
Mandy obtained her culinary training in New York City at the renowned French Culinary Institute (at the top of her class) and further completed her chocolate and sugar work training at the International School of Confectionary Arts in Maryland. Mandy performed her pastry magic as the head pastry chef at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Florida (a 5 star hotel), along with many well-known places in Toronto such as the Superior Restaurant and Summerhill Market.
 
Mandy's dream finally came true with tremendous support from her customers, friends, family, and former employers. She opened the Dessert Lady on April 16, 2005. Mandy puts a lot of thought and creativity into her ever expanding pastry shop in Yorkville. She is determined to make and give the best to her customers who know how to pamper themselves. If you have not met the dessert lady, be sure to come by. Mandy would like to be your "Dessert Lady!”
