Today we’d like to introduce you to Valeria Barrera.
Hi Valeria, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am 22 years old. I studied culinary arts in Peru, as part of my internships, I worked in The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour and Bachour Miami, where I learned the most about pastry and experience. Since I was a little kid, I fell in love with pastry, my grandma who passed away a year ago, was the one who taught me all the most important recipes for cakes and so on, so that is why I decided to create my small business with everything I learned and based on selling macarons, Alfajores, decorated cakes for birthdays, weddings, and any important occasion, as well I offer services for complete catering of dessert tables and Peruvian food if someone asks. As for now, I am located in North Miami Beach, selling my products from home with so much love and my Peruvian background honoring my grandmother’s memory.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I think there is never a smooth road when you are starting a business, I have had up and downs along the road, and several people have close the doors on my face, but that have not stopped me to keep going to accomplish what I most want which is people to get to know me for selling the best pastries in the world!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
What I am known the most is for building cakes, macarons and special desserts with delicious and new flavors. I am proud of the quality I offer in all of my products, I think what sets me apart from others is the innovation in flavors mixed with my Peruvian roots as well as the quality and love out in every order.
