BUTTER AND EGGS

-

From elegent three-tiered wedding cakes with stunning flowers cascading from top to bottom to quirky gold-themed creations, if there’s a cake you need for an event, chances are Eileen will be able to bake it for you. Aside from being incredibly stylish, ‘artistic’ also perfectly describes her desserts considerin­g Eileen’s previous day job was as a full-time graphic and motion graphic designer. She just moved her artistry from the screen to the oven.

Growing up in the kitchen, her grandmothe­r would prepare her then-famous prawn crackers and her older cousin would spend time baking. Baking was always a side hobby and job for Eileen to kill time with, but she took it to the next level by quitting her day job and enrolling in a Pastry Chef course at the famed Le Cordon Bleu in London. And the rest, as they say, is sweet history.

“To me, creating a dessert is an art form,” Eileen explained. “Instead of creating virtual artworks, I’m creating edible artworks that not only are visually pleasing but also delicious to taste. Each one having been thoughtful­ly crafted to be unique with a combinatio­n of what I enjoy in a dessert as well as what other people like.” •• Check out Eileen’s other works of edible art and confection­aries on her Instagram page (@butter.n.eggs) and email her for inquiries at elxy@hotmail.com.
