Mathew Victorian is a multi-talented senior who has transitioned from being an average joe to a successful baker and music producer. Victorian has successfully turned his hobbies into entrepreneurial ventures, demonstrating his talent and determination. Victorian’s story reminds us that with a sprinkle of passion and a dollop of hard work, anything is possible.

His journey into the world of baking began with his deep passion for creating delicious treats to share with his friendship circle. “I’ve been experimenting with recipes for quite some time, mostly for my friends, who were always eager to taste my latest creations,” says Victorian. He kept baking and giving out his creations, and soon he saw how much positive feedback he was receiving. “Their encouraging feedback inspired me to extend my baking skills beyond our small circle; first to our school community and later to a wider audience beyond it,” says Victorian.  

As a result of that, he launched  @Bakkedgoods_ on Instagram during his junior year, where he hard launched his homemade brownies that quickly gained popularity among students, which marked the beginning of his successful baking business. “I just released a new flavor of red velvet brownies and people loved them, making them sell out within a short period of time. It was a great start to my day,” says Victorian.

In addition to baking, Victorian has shown off his deep passion for creating music. He has been dedicating time into writing his own songs and creating unique beats, and has recently started recording his own stuff. Victorian describes his style as a mix of R&B and indie-pop since it’s more on the popular side of the music spectrum. “Music is what really gets out to people, especially in this generation. It’s how others express their thoughts and emotions,” says Victorian. 

Juggling baking orders, making music, and turning in assignments on time might seem overwhelming, but Victorian manages it all with his impressive time management skills. “I love what I do, so it doesn’t feel like work. It just feels like I’m doing what I was meant to do, and I’m grateful for the support I get from my family and friends,” says Victorian

Victorian hopes to keep expanding his ventures and to keep his baking business going even when he is in college, which is right around the corner. No matter which path he takes, there is no doubt that Victorian will bring his creative spirit and dedication to every project that he takes on. So keep an eye out for @Bakkedgoods_ and his upcoming music releases, because Victorian’s story is sure to end up in Victor-y.
