FROM THE PHILIPPINES TO DC
About Audrey
Originally from the Philippines, Audrey founded Frost & Flourish by skillfully balancing her culinary passion with family life.
Growing up in her grandmother's kitchen and influenced by Duff Goldman's "Ace of Cakes," Audrey moved to Virginia to enroll in the pastry program at the former Art Institute of Washington.
She honed her skills at Brabo by Robert Wiedmaier, Liberty Tavern, and Eventide, and also played a key role in launching a bakery in North Beach, MD.
Transitioning to corporate hotel kitchens, she uncovered her talent for creating chocolate showpieces and luxury wedding cakes.
Audrey trained under the guidance of Maggie Austin, and at L'ecole Valrhona in Brooklyn, NY.
Audrey is also part of the Tiny Wedding Collective vendor team, crafting exquisite and true-to-you wedding experiences on a smaller scale.
FAMILY FIRST
FAMILY FIRST
Audrey adores her Frost & Flourish team–her family! Everyone in her family contributes to this rapidly growing area favorite.
“We are that crazy family who went all in on starting a bakery in a tough restaurant industry. My cake-baking revolves around my kid's schedules often working late at night while everyone sleeps.”
It’s a joint effort to make these delicious works of art. From realistic sugar flowers to replicating Van Gogh's "Starry Night", Frost & Flourish is a family effort!
NUVEE
Audrey's husband helps with color matching, sugar flower sculpting, and is an excellent painter with cake designs. Even with his full-time job, he dives in with dishwashing and deliveries (especially helping with the heavier cakes!)
NICO & NAYA
The sweetest cookie and cake models! They also love to help push delivery carts and occasionally work in quality control by tasting all the frosting.
VICKY
Audrey's mom is a star in getting supplies from Restaurant Depot and Costco. Vicky also cares for her grandchildren so Chef Audrey can do late-night baking and grab herself a bite to eat besides butter and sugar!
CHRISTINA
Christina is the business's accountant. She also loves to help her sister with the growing dishes, deliveries, and watching the kids while Audrey works. She's an excellent taste tester with Audrey's new recipes.
SUSAN
An expert cake decorator and baker Chef Audrey collaborated with at Occasions. She’s a master with big cakes and large events.
