Born in Russia, Krasnova moved to Vancouver in her early 20 where she attended university, collecting several degrees — including accounting — prior to pursuing a career in pastry. Realizing that number crunching wasn’t for her, she plunged into her true passion, moving to Paris to study at the famed Ferrandi l’Ecole de Gastronomie before working at France’s oldest and most storied patisserie, Dalloyau.
