I’m a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science. By weekdays, I work for a laboratory that specializes in plant tissue culture. By all other times, I’m a baker / cake stylist wannabe. ;p
My sister, Joy, is a nurse-turned-teacher. She is a Head Teacher at an early childhood centre across the road from where we live. She’s halfway through her Masters in Education. (Yes, I’m a fan and I’m very proud of her!) She's happily married. And, just like me, she’s also a cake stylist wannabe. :)
We caught the cake-decorating virus about two years ago or so. Our family and close friends tell us we make pretty cakes and that we should be in business. But I’ve always wondered whether they’re being genuine or they’re just being nice because they love us! (Oh, heart!) So, cake-decorating remains just a hobby. Recently, I realized I must really want to do this because every minute of the day (yes, even when I’m sleeping!), I find myself thinking about cakes! And so, we are exploring the idea of maybe making it a business someday! Yuss! (No matter how daunting the idea is.)
More than anything, this is a sugary-sweet journey with my sister. Yes, we do cry when our gumpaste model breaks, when the fondant tears, or the butter cream fails. But each time we finish styling a cake, we place it on our cake stand, we sit there staring at it, and smile at each other… those moments are priceless! They’re Milbreé moments.
So, why make cakes?
Ps. “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet…” –Juliet
We’ve called ourselves 'marmaLadies' in the past. However, that was for a time when we allowed ourselves to fully explore our creative sides and we were free to delve into anything (e.g., event planning, event organizing, being a florist for a day, hand-crafting invitations, etc). Along the way, we found ourselves growing a passion for cakes that are as delightful to the palate as they are pleasing to the eyes. Hence, we call ourselves: 'Sweet Art – cakes by Milbreé Moments'.
When I was much younger, Milbreé was my nom de plume, using it only when I was happy. So, Milbreé Moments = happy moments = moments that count!
Join us in this sugar-sweet journey!
Let us custom-design a cake for those moments in your life that count! I hope to hear from you.
