Victoria HoppeAfter panic attacks and stress left her hopelessly looking for answers, Victoria knew she had to make a big change in her life, and find a way to rid herself of anxiety and depression. On a leap of faith, she left her corporate management job to takeon a much smaller role, allowing her to focus on the things that brought her joy and tranquility, and to truly focus on mental health. One of those things was baking. Baking since the age of 9, Victoria has always loved spending time in the kitchen, but with a bachelor's degree in Spanish and years of retail management experience, her background was anything but culinary. The foodie in her knew she had a real talent, but she thought baking would never be more than a hobby. Victoria began to use her creativity in the kitchen as a side project. A hobby of cake decoration for coworkers and neighbors soon morphed into taking custom orders for themed cakes. She now hosts weekly game nights, during which, parties of up to 15 guests can sample new recipes. You can even have a shower or small party catered by Victoria, featuring some of her fan-favorites, including Cream Puffs and White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake. With the dream of one day owning a bakery, Victoria went on to study business, earning her MBA from the University of South Carolina in 2015. Since the creation of her new company, Little Black Apron, Inc. in 2016, Victoria now has the privilege of calling cooking & baking her full-time job. When she isn't playing chef, you'll most likely find her reading Harry Potter, dancing, sharing a glass of wine with friends, playing board games, or spending time with her fiance, James, and their 4 fur-babies.
