Feature:
I absolutely love baking. Growing up, my mum used to make a lot of treats like Cakes, Cookies & Ice cream for the family. I guess that was when my passion for baking started. I remember I was always intrigued whenever I saw cakes at parties especially weddings. I used to wonder how they were created.

In the year 2000, while in the university, I decided to take advantage of a long semester break to learn the art of cake baking and decorating professionally. I made a lot of cakes and developed a lot of client base while I was in the University. After graduation, I went into the cake business full time and I haven’t stopped ever since. I honed my skills and fell in love with using cakes to make extraordinary objects that have the Wow! effect.

Recently, I began another passion of mine… Teaching. I love teaching people how to bake especially children. Children are highly creative and imaginative. They remind me of myself when I was younger…eager, inquisitive and determined. Seeing the joy on their faces when they accomplish their tasks just melts my heart. So far I have been able to teach about 500 children since I started a practical online Baking class via Zoom called Kids Can Bake.
I also started an Adult and Teen online class called ‘The Baking room’; where I teach different recipes and share my experiences. Its been such an exciting journey so far and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
