Ashley Wong is an inspiring baker
According to an Instagram post, Wong is a super ambitious chef and really skilled at multi-tasking. Her business is called Ashley Wong Sweets and she's been baking ever since she was a little girl. However, when she was pursuing a career in the culinary arts, she went for savory dishes in the beginning. The chef explained, "Funny how that works though, baking was where my heart was and after a few years of doing savory, I got my first pastry job at a Michelin star restaurant."
Wong spent many years honing her skills as a pastry chef and even became a mother along the way. She continued to juggle her work and mom duties, opening her own company when she felt ready for a transition. It was a "leap of faith" but it has been incredibly rewarding for Wong. "I'm so glad that I did [start a company]. From birthday's to weddings, engagements and showers, it has been a pleasure being apart of all these special moments," she said. Oh, and here's a fun fact — Wong is also a big fan of Halloween and the horror genre. She seems like the perfect fit for "Halloween Baking Championship," doesn't she?
