After I graduated from Cilantro Culinary Academy I went to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Dubai, and the Maldives to further my culinary training. Currently I am back in Malaysia, working at Communal Table by gēn in Penang.

Cake Artist, & Instructor at Gbase Patisserie
Graduated Year 2016
My career in this industry began after I signed up for an Instagram for Business account to showcase my works. Aside from baking customized cakes, I also host workshops to teach cake decoration techniques.
The On-Job Training programme helped me a lot to kick start my career. When I was undergoing my training in Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, I learnt lots of baking techniques and management skills.
In the future, I hope to host more baking workshops and continue to learn newer cake decorating techniques.
