  Kohinoor College of Hotel And Tourism Management Studies

  Aug 2004 - May 2010

  Pastry Instructor

  I loved every moment at the culinary school where I taught students basic, intermediate, and advanced levels of pastry techniques.My role was focused on conditioning/mentoring students to be independent and confident in their skills to help grow and take on challenges the hotel industry has to offer. I organized inter and intra college baking competitions for students to encourage healthy competitiveness and guided students to excel. I designed and conceptualized a 12-week bakery and pastry certified program which included modules on advance sugar craft, cakes and breads from the world, desserts, and pastry. Show less

  Cakes n Bakes Dubai (Custom Design Cake Studio)

  Feb 2011 - Oct 2015

  Co-owner | Executive Pastry Chef

  My best venture with a near person, my cousin sister. A licensed hands-on business where we cohisivly designed the studio and bake store, we incorporated a wedding cake tasting lounge and had client meetings alongside our bakery.I oversaw the entire operations from baking, decorating, sculpting and logistics for all confections. We met with couples to be wed and clients to understand their sweet visions and gladly turn them into cake reality. I loved working with my angels like I call them, the pastry team. Every product from wedding cakes, celebration cakes, desserts and much more were custom made/one of a kind. Show less

  Wisk Culinary (Pastry School)

  Aug 2016 - Aug 2017

  Pastry Chef Instructor

  At Wisk my role was to curate trending and traditional bakery and pastry hands on classes. I would conduct these modules in a theoretical and practical flow which enabled students to achieve in-depth knowledge. I love to add my spin of pun on a stressful topic and break the lecture down for everyone’s understanding.

  Jun 2020 - Sept 2023

  Business Owner | Pastry Chef | Instructor

  A covid entrepreneurial venture started with my younger brother as a home business. My aim - to get scrumptious cakes and bakes to the community. We operated the entire kitchen; whipped bespoke cakes, savories, desserts and much more for all covid functions that people celebrated within the comfort of their homes.I enjoy baking, teaching, sharing with others; and started online baking tutorials (step-by- step instructor lead) for beginners. This includes baking tips, dos and don’ts, ingredients, tools, equipment’s and baking science. Experimental baking, baking workshops and creating IG content; I have come a long way and have become a household name for many. Ps: I have no formal education in networking, IG website management, food photography or content writing. I am a self-taught person and everything I showcased on my IG page is from my own experience.
