Who would have thought I’d become a cake artist? Growing up in Arizona, I loved working in retail despite the crazy hours and had always thought I’d become a teacher, inspired by how much I admired my 1st and 5th-grade teachers. Baking was a passion too, with fond memories of my mom’s delicious Filipino pastries filling our home. 

​

Fast forward—Life took an unexpected turn when I met my husband, and his job moved us to Hong Kong. At that time, I knew very little about cake decorating, aside from the rustic sheer trend. With some extra time on my hands after work while my husband worked long hours, a friend and I decided to take a basic cake decorating class. We weren’t serious about it at first—we just wanted to do something fun for ourselves, and learn a new skill. But it was during that class that I discovered my true passion.

Primarily self-taught and passionate about pastry, I honed my skills through various pastry classes and online tutorials. After my eldest daughter’s 2nd birthday, I wanted to balance being more present at home with pursuing my cake artistry career. Thanks to my family’s support and encouragement, I’ve managed to turn my passion into a fulfilling career.
