According to MK Cannelle’s website, Knio found his love for baking at a young age while working in a bakery. He graduated from Academie de Versailles in France as a Master Artisian and later moved to the U.S. and became head pastry chef at Michigan’s Ritz Carlton.

In 2003, Knio launched Cannelle Café in Michigan. Two years later he launched Golden Wheat Bakehouse in Warren which provides many breads, buns, croissants and other products to metro Detroit businesses.
