About Me

Hola!

My name is Sofia Tejeda, I'm 25 years old and I was born and raised in Mexico City!

I moved to San Antonio in 2008 with my family, and after some getting used to, I can now say that I absolutely love living here and feel so lucky to have had the chance to see this awesome city become a gastronomy Mecca in the recent years. 

For the past decade or so I have devoted myself to achieving my dream of getting into my dream school and becoming a pastry chef. After some hiccups, I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in San Antonio in 2018 with an Associates Degree in Applied Science in Baking and Pastry where I completed an internship at the world renowned Bouchon Bakery by the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group and from there I have continued to move up the chain and participate in various events, run my own kitchen and ultimately compete on the Food Network. 

Did I mention these were all goals I had set for myself  to achieve by the time I turned 30? And I achieved them all at just 23!

I don’t know what life has in store from me after this but what I do know is that I get to live my dream every day when I go in to work, that I absolutely love having the opportunity to work with many incredible and talented chefs and people and most importantly, I get to be part of everyone’s holidays and special events!

Thank you for allowing me to do so!

Love, 

Sofi Tejeda
