Local Roots, Global Soul

Romy is the heart and creative force behind Sweet Vanilla. A self-taught French-inspired baker who spent a decade in France and grew up in Madagascar, she brings a rare blend of artistry, culture, and authenticity to every creation. Her journey began in 2019 at a small local market, driven by passion and a dream to share the beauty of French pâtisserie with her new community in Saint John. Romy’s desserts reflect her story — refined yet warm, elegant yet approachable — combining classic French techniques with tropical influences and heartfelt craftsmanship. Through Sweet Vanilla, she continues to inspire joy and connection, one pastry at a time.

At Sweet Vanilla, we embody local entrepreneurship and multicultural identity, mirroring the changing face of New Brunswick.
