“Cupcakes belong in a special corner in my heart. I am a professional baker and I specialize in baking the most exquisite cupcakes. When I was in my mid twenties, I was suffering from identity crisis and was unsure about the direction of my life. Then, I fatefully decided to turn my passion for baking into my profession and I haven’t had to look back since. This minuscule sweet treat has shaped my life and transformed me into an independent woman. It will always be my one true comfort food that calms my soul.”
