Angela was born in Brazil, the daughter of farmers, and learned to cook alongside her grandmothers, aunts and sisters. At the time it was simply how her family ate, and it took leaving home before she saw it as a talent.

She was still young when she went, and cooking followed her through a career in banking, luxury retail and hospitality. She lived in the UK, Luxembourg, Portugal, Vienna, New York, Dubai and Sydney, learning the culture and cuisines of each.

Angela built Go Doce from these experiences, working with chocolate and cake as her materials to make pieces that sit somewhere between dessert, jewellery and art.

They begin with fresh local produce, flowers and colour, and are made to order for the occasion.
