Ana Parzych Bio

In just six short years since opening her studio in 2006, sugar artist Ana Parzych has become known as one of the top wedding cake designers in the U.S. and abroad.

In 2007 Ana was featured on a Food Network special, and one of her cakes appeared on the cover of PEOPLE Magazine’s first-ever Real Weddings issue. In 2010, Today Show viewers nationwide cast over 110,000 votes to choose Ana’s wedding cake design for their live segment Today Throws a Wedding.

In addition to being recognized at home as “Best of Connecticut” by Connecticut magazine, Ana delivered the most luxurious wedding cake ever seen in the exotic emirate of Dubai. Ana’s cakes have been named by Brides Magazine as among The Most Beautiful Cakes in America.

Ana’s cakes are regularly featured in leading bridal, lifestyle, and cake decorating magazines in the US and abroad, including BRIDES, People, Harper’s Bazaar, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, The Knot, Victoria, Us Weekly, Wedding Cakes a Design Source (UK), Weddings (Dubai), and many others.

Ana combines her two life-long passions, baking and fine arts, to create confectionery masterpieces that taste as exquisite as they look.

Fond of baking from a very young age, Ana studied graphic design, and later painting at the National School of Fine Arts in her native Lima, Peru, then moved to Japan (the home of her ancestors), where she worked in a French bakery.

After moving to the US, Ana turned her full attention to studying her craft, learning from the finest sugar artists and perfecting her baking skills at The Culinary Institute of America.

Having mastered the basics of cake design, sugar flowers, brushed embroidery, and other decorating techniques, Ana quickly gained recognition in her field, earning awards and developing her own techniques and personal style, which continue to evolve.

Ana strives to advance awareness of the sugar arts while passing on her expertise, through teaching, mentoring, and lecturing throughout the year to diverse audiences.

Ana resides in Connecticut with her husband and their three children, and has been a member of ICES (International Cake Exploration Society) since 1999.
