Chantel Phillips

Oh hey!  Well, I’m Chantel and I have an addiction to baking. Phew… now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a self-taught sugar artist and baker. I must say my mother and grandmother have been the bakers in my family for as long as I can remember.  My mom made those elaborate stair case multi-level huge wedding cakes that were oh so popular among the Caribbean community. However, they specialized in traditional Jamaican rum cake. I never thought I would bake because I remember the long hours they spent baking, decorating and assembling.  (insert Spongebob 10 years later meme lol). Here I am, doing just that! It was all sparked by an invitation to participate in a baking contest at our bi-annual family reunion hosted by my aunt Veronica. I was the only one who actually showed up with a submission and everyone loved it! I never stopped and with the help of my super supportive family and friends I didn’t have to. I’ve grown to hone my own aesthetic for design which is clean lines, modern and fun! 
Oh yea and I love decorating with fresh florals!

P.S. I currently still work full-time in the Pro AV industry programming custom GUI’s and providing hardware support. I’m currently working on completing my PCAP, CSS and Oracle certifications.
