Hi! I'm Marie Grace B. Parazo. I'm a Computer Engineer by profession
but I love to eat! During my 8 year stay in the corporate world, I got
married and had a child. I searched for ways on how to earn from
home so I could take care of our daughter. Since I love eating and
sweets, I created Vidriado Cakes and Pastries which specializes in
customized cakes and cupcakes. I am a home baker and also a mom
of two adorable kids. I attended various trainings to enhance my skills.
This includes classes at Heny Sison Culinary School and International
School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management (ISCAHM). Aside from
attending actual classes, I supplement my learning with online courses.
This inspired me to create a company who helps people, specially stay
at home moms, to achieve their full potential and turn their passion
into a profitable business that is not only suitable for other countries
but also in the Philippines.
