Rita has always had a creative soul.

Starting from her early childhood, she has been interested in creating original pieces, whether it’s making Faberge jewelery boxes, or designing elaborate Ukrainian Easter eggs, or recreating nature when putting together her sugar flowers.

She has won many awards, including her recent prize of the Medal of the French Government Competition (1st prize) at the Annual Salon of Culinary Art, organized by the Societe Culinaire Philanthropique de New York.

Her name has also been in many publications, including the Montreal Gazette, Horizon (an Armenian newspaper), and an article in the Baker’s Journal entitled “Les Gâteaux of La Gâterie: Only imagination is the limit for Montreal-based designer Rita Djerrahian”.

She continuously adds to her decorating knowledge by attending cake conventions and courses around the globe, which she then shares with her students and peers by means of the many courses she offers. She is a certified Wilton instructor, although her teaching style varies depending on the course being given.
