From baking to decorating cakes, it all began as a hobby and slowly moulded into a profession. Although a self-taught baker, I leaned on my mother's skills and tricks to perfect the art of making and decorating cakes. As a creative soul, I've always loved working with my hands and over the years baked artfully-decorated cakes. I hope to share happiness and great taste through my sweet endeavour - baking a visual feast.
