NewsMeter: Sabrina, what inspired you to turn your passion for baking into a career while managing your corporate responsibilities?

Sabrina: It has always been my passion. I envisioned opening a fast-food joint or bakery, but the corporate path took precedence. Eventually, I realized I could have the best of both worlds. I started baking for friends and family, and their encouragement led me to pursue it professionally. The rest, as they say, is sweet history.

NewsMeter: Taking a trip down memory lane, when did your journey with baking begin?

Sabrina: As a child, I found magic in watching my mother bake. The joy of helping her in the kitchen on those baking days is a core memory that's become ingrained in me. Baking, for me, is more than a skill; it's a part of who I am.

NewsMeter: Can you share a recent professional milestone that stands out for you?

Sabrina: The holiday season frenzy around my treats is a recent milestone. Also, I once made 200 donuts for St. Ann’s school, and they sold out in 15-20 minutes. That was a delightful shock!

NewsMeter: Sabrina, what would you say is your greatest baking skill?

Sabrina: Baking cakes and pizzas in no time has become second nature to me. The speed at which I can create these delights is something I take pride in.

NewsMeter: With Christmas around the corner, what's your go-to Christmas recipe, and why?

Sabrina: The Rum cake is a personal favorite. It encapsulates all the warm and festive flavors of Christmas.

NewsMeter: What's the most challenging recipe you've attempted recently in your baking journey?

Sabrina: I recently tried an apple walnut cake recipe, and I was pleased with the result. However, making marzipan proved trickier than expected. I'm working on perfecting a recipe that suits both me and my customers.

NewsMeter: What brings you the most joy about being a baker?

Sabrina: Making customized cakes is my favorite. It's an artistic process, and seeing the reactions of my customers is the icing on the cake. Bringing their visions to life is a pleasure.

NewsMeter: In the world of baking, do you believe it's more crucial for a baker to be creative and experiment or to religiously follow a recipe?

NewsMeter: According to you, what is the most important skill a baker should possess?

Sabrina: Knowing the right measurements and having patience. Patience is a virtue in baking, and accurate measurements are the backbone of a good bake.

NewsMeter: Sabrina, how do you manage to balance your demanding corporate job with your love for baking?

Sabrina: Where there's passion, time is inconsequential. Baking is more of a therapeutic activity for me, a way to wind down after the corporate hustle. I don't see it as a job.
