Amy Lee, Baking Instructor, Singapore  
“I was a self employed cake maker when I joined R.L. Clement Cake Decorating School to do my Diploma in Cake decorating which helped me to perfect my sugar crafting skills as a professional cake maker. I attended the short courses offered by the school on novel crafting techniques to keep up in my profession. At present I’m employed at a reputed cake shop in Hamilton, New Zealand and pictures of my cakes were published in Bride and Groom Magazine in New Zealand. I won first places with all my entries at the Hamilton Cake Show 2008. I’m grateful to Mr. Clement for the invaluable guidance given to me as my cake decorating teacher”
