Tanja Blondin was born in Germany where, as a young girl, she spent many hours watching the delicate pastries and cakes come out of her Grandmother's oven. She knew even then she wanted to follow in her Grandmothers footsteps.

Initially self taught, Tanja received her 'Certificat de Traiteur' at Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa Culinary Arts Institute in 'cuisine and pastry' and went on to receive her 'Advanced Cake Decorating' certification at Artistic Cake Design. She initially honed these skills working for Shep's Catering but her real experience in Diamond Resort Pastry Design came while working in the pastry kitchen at Ottawa's famous Brookstreet Hotel.

In business for 10 years now, Tanja has become well known for her catering services where she has built a reputation for a wide variety of fine food, attention to detail, outstanding customer support and reasonable prices - but her real passion and success is in wedding cakes. Tanja can be found each spring at the Kanata Bridal Showcase and the Wedding Palace Bridal Fair held at Ottawa's Westin Hotel.

Recently, Tanja was honoured as one of just ten Ottawa caterers invited to participate in the City of Ottawa "Raise the Roof" fund raising gala in support of the new Drug Treatment Center.
