INTERVIEW WITH AARON QUAY OF PRETTY ON PLATE CAFE


What inspired you to start baking?

It begins from a young age whereby I used to help my grandparents to bake cookies and cakes for family and friends especially during Chinese New Year. From there, I picked up baking and built a mini pastry kitchen at home to sell my pastries online while pursuing my Business Degree. After completion, I decided to pursue a professional pastry course at Academy of Pastry Arts and worked with several brands before Pretty on Plate is established.
