Coming from a Eurasian background , Sonya has always been exposed to different kinds of cooking and baking - e.g. as a child she used to watch her Grand-aunty make the most beautiful wedding cakes for friends and family. She learned early in life that baking can bring so much joy to not only to the baker but also to people enjoying the products of this labour of love. Sonya's professional background includes working for Singapore Airlines and at two well-established international hotels in Singapore. She then went to further her studies in Sydney, Australia in early childhood study’s. On returning to Singapore she went on to qualify as a Wilton instructor and she also holds a diploma in PME cake decorating. Completing her Wilton Instructor Certificate was a real joy for Sonya as it will allow her to pass on her enthusiasm for and knowledge of cake decorating to new students. This has included demonstration baking at top department stores in Singapore as well as normal training classes Sonya also bakes for various charities as well as for friends and acquaintances - particularly enjoying creating elaborate birthday cakes etc with figures from cartoons, movies and mythology.
