    I am passionate about teaching, which is both tough and incredibly rewarding. I work with students from all over the world and I feel so privileged to be a part of their own artistic journeys. Some are professionals, some are just baking for friends and family, and some are complete beginners. Everyone is together making beautiful things while buil...
