Entrepreneur Finds Recipe For Success

OttawaCitizen:
Susy Pardo calls herself the CBO of her company. Chief Baking Officer, that is.
Having attended Sheridan College for journalism, and worked as a project manager at an advertising agency, owning flourgirls, a specialty cupcake and cookie shop in Milton, Ont., is far from where Pardo, 35, imagined her life would be.
Born and raised in Canada, Pardo married an American and moved to New York for several years where she worked remotely for an advertising agency in Toronto.
While food, specifically desserts, had always been a passion of Pardo’s, it was the “circus of food” in New York combined with the desire to meet people in a new city that brought her to enrol in cooking school at the French Culinary Institute in New York City.
And once she walked through the door on her first day in the kitchen, she knew she was where she belonged.
“I just loved it. I just loved the feeling I got from being in the kitchen,” she recalls.
“If someone had told me 15 years ago that I would’ve ended up at cooking school in New York, I wouldn’t have believed it for a minute.”
