Pastry Chef Amelia Howards

Amelia started cultivating both her sweet tooth, and her love of cooking at a young age. A career as a pastry chef might have seemed like a no-brainer, but she bounced from studying Fine Art and Art History to Graphic Design to Digital Media before finally landing in the Culinary Arts Program at the Culinary Institute of Canada in 2005.

After graduating from the Culinary Institute in 2009 with a diploma in Culinary Arts, and an Applied Degree in Culinary Operations, Amelia went on to work at several Charlottetown restaurants, including Flex Mussels and The Dundee Arms Inn. Her sugar crush blossomed into a full-blown love affair, and she accepted her first position as Pastry Chef at Dalvay-by-the-Sea, where she worked for the 2012 summer season.

Amelia joined the Red Shores team as Pastry Chef in the fall of 2012 and has been satisfying Charlottetown’s sweet tooth ever since. She brought home the award for “Best Dessert” by popular vote at the 2012 Savour Food & Wine Show, maintaining Red Shores’ 5 year winning streak! Amelia is looking forward to more opportunities to showcase her skills, and encourages everyone to come and experience the sugar high at Top of the Park.
