South African Catering Sensation Vicky Crease Returns to CaterSource 2014

The former Best International Caterer recipient returns to showcase her talents at the 2014 Catersource convention

As the city gears up for 2014’s CaterSource conference starting this Sunday, March 23, South African Catering maven and previous CaterSource Best International Caterer award-winner Vicky Crease prepares herself for her arrival and for this year’s latest trends. “I always enjoy the people, energy, and new ideas of CaterSource” said Crease, “these are people that I work with and respect so much.”

A blend of eclectic and modern stylings and an extremely personal touch attribute to Crease’s international edge and appeal. From weddings and parties to life’s somber moments, Crease and her team have executed a variety of works of art through their food and event planning for many notables worldwide.

Crease’s love for catering and entertaining started from a young age by hosting tea parties with her friends. This love grew into a love of hosting and baking for guests when they visited and eventually Crease’s flavorful cakes expanded by word of mouth. A Psychologist by profession, Vicky also obtained a degree in marketing from the University of South Africa in Johannesberg. While she loved what she had studied, food and events were her first loves and led her back to the catering industry.

Vicky Crease Catering has won many awards over the years that they have been in business including five of the International Caterers Association’s CATIE awards for Best Themed Menu, Best Use of Food as Décor, Best New Food Concept, Best Barbecue or Picnic. Additionally, the company has gained awards and accolades earning CaterSource’s ACE award for Best Independent Caterer.
