Tan Phay Shing holds a postgraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and worked in engineering research before she chose to stay at home to spend time with her children. However, her experiments did not end when she left the lab. She continues to conduct experiments, albeit of a different kind, in her home kitchen, where she bakes creative macarons, cookies and chiffons cakes. Phay Shing shares a blog, LovingCreations4U, with Susanne Ng, author of Creative Baking: Chiffon Cakes, Creative Baking: Deco Chiffon Cakes and Creative Baking: Deco Chiffon Cake Basics, where they delight readers with their unique creations.
