Albena Petrova

Hi,
I am Albena, the owner of Albena Cake Design.

It was that moment when I felt butterflies in my stomach.
It was so sudden and obvious and final. It was that moment when I physically felt the urge to create, the need to show off my potential and my dormant talents
I felt anxious and excited and eager to start. And I did. I started my sweet journey.

​Bulgarian born I was raised in a family of artists – a sculptor and a jeweller, and that is where I developed an interest in painting and sculpting from an early age. I graduated from the School of Fine Arts, (Sofia, Bulgaria), specializing in pottery making and glass engraving, and a few years back I got my diploma from Pearson School of Culinary Arts in Montreal, specializing in Pastry Making – and that is when her passion for cakes began.
​
After culinary school, I started using my unique artistic vision to bring cakes to life. As my skills progressed, my cakes became more and more uniquely designed according to customer’s ideas, visions and dreams. I love thinking out of the box and experimenting with tools and materials. Attention to the detail is an important part of my work, I find inspirations everywhere - flowers, fashion, art, architecture, nature and people.

Throughout my career, I have accumulated a long list of awards including Statin Ice's Artist of Excellent, Winner of the first place at 2013 Montreal Cake Show - Wedding Cakes Category – as well as having my work featured in: Cake Central Magazine – Volume 6, issue 1, Marriage Quebec, Premium Series on Cake Geek Magazine –Winter Wedding Cake Design, Cake Design – France, Pretty Witty Cakes Magazine – edition 8, American Cake Decorating Magazine and DIY Weddings Magazine.
I am a proud Satin Ice Artist of Excellence as well as two times nominee for one of the most prestigious Award in the Industry, Cake Master's Award - Wedding cakes category.
