Growing up, I eagerly watched my mom bake us weekly treats, always waiting for my turn to lick the spoon. As I grew older, I began to help in the kitchen, and by the age of ten, I was baking on my own. Baking quickly became my creative outlet. I poured myself into learning new techniques, experimenting with flavors, and honing my skills over the years. By 2013, I was excited to launch my brand, “Curly Sweets,” and share my creations on Instagram.

A few years later, I was thrilled to join the Advanced Culinary Arts Program at my high school. There, I immersed myself in the world of culinary arts, mastering a range of techniques, thriving in a high-pressure kitchen environment, and discovering the art of crafting innovative flavors.

When Covid hit, I decided to start a new Instagram account, “LeeanCooks,” as a way to share my culinary experiments. Although my passion for baking remained strong, it became more of a hobby as I shifted my focus to other subjects.

Now, in 2024, I’ve rekindled my love for baking and its decorative aspects. After graduating, I find myself pondering the possibility of returning to my culinary roots. What if I could bring “Curly Sweets” back to life?
