About Sonya

My name is Sonya Sammut, pastry chef and former owner of Sachère Desserts. For more than twenty years, I have been creating cakes and desserts in Montréal that bring bold flavours, delicate textures and a touch of the unexpected into dialogue.

My work is shaped by the seasons, the people I meet and a deeply personal Japanese influence, rooted in my childhood in the karate dojo founded by my parents. There, I learned the value of technique, discipline, balance and patience — principles that still guide the way I create.

Today, I create desserts to order, one-off culinary projects and workshops where I share what I love most: making pastry with care, curiosity and joy.
