My First Love

I love what I do. I am at my happiest when I get to play around the kitchen, measuring and mixing butter, sugar, flour chocolates and eggs. I am fascinated by breads, cakes and pastries. How a few ingredients handled differently can become hundreds of different things. It’s an unexplainable bliss to be able to create wonderful desserts and heaven to see empty plates all wiped out. Raves and compliments are music to my ears. That’s why I love what I do.

Started out as child’s play. A hobby. An ambition. Now a journey. As a culinary student, every waking day was something that I look forward to. It was another day of learning, new techniques, new ingredients, new flavors. As a Cake artist, each and every work of art should be nothing less than perfect. As an instructor, becoming an inspiration to others is what matters most.

What’s next is something that truly excites me. Another dream that I hope will come true. In the next few months, things may still be the same, or may totally change. It is a journey that I look forward to taking. A Pastry Chef’s Journey.
