The Atelier
An emerging
pastry voice,
composed in cream & cocoa.
Engineer, analyst, and now pastry chef — Vidya Sri Ramasamy Sakthivel
graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Baking & Pastry Arts, Hyde Park, NY.
Visks & Vips is the atelier she founded in India in 2020.
Her work spans fine-dining plated desserts, entremets, viennoiserie and sugar art,
built on the discipline of classical technique and a quiet, editorial aesthetic.
She trained on the line at Mar’sel Restaurant and the Main Bakeshop of
Terranea Resort, California — producing for fine-dining service, banquets, and retail.
Visks & Vips is not a bakery. It is a portfolio — a continuing conversation between
ingredients, technique, and restraint.
