About Ah Yong Bakery

Hi there! I’m Ah Yong, the heart (and hands) behind Ah Yong Bakery. Believe it or not, I didn’t start out as a baker. In fact, for most of my life, baking was something I admired from afar… until one day, I decided to roll up my sleeves, get my hands into some dough, and see where this flour-filled journey could take me.

From Zero to Oven Hero

My journey began not in a bakery, but with pure curiosity. I had never baked before — not even a cookie! But something about baking caught my interest. I started watching baking videos, reading recipes, and eventually signed up for a baking course. That first course opened up a whole new world for me.

The more I learned, the more I wanted to bake. I started experimenting in my own kitchen, trying out everything from bread to pastries. Some bakes flopped, some were just okay, but a few… were magic. And that magic is what kept me going.

Sharing the Journey Online

As I improved, I thought: why not share this journey? That’s when I started Ah Yong Bakery, not just as a blog, but as a space to document my growth, my mistakes, and my small baking wins.

Then came TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook — where I began posting short baking videos, behind-the-scenes clips, and tutorials. It was scary at first (especially showing my face on camera!), but the support from people like you made it all worthwhile. Watching others try my recipes or say, “You made me want to bake!” is still the best feeling.

A Sweet Milestone

After months (okay, years) of flour, trial and error, and plenty of late-night baking sessions, I took a big step and enrolled in SHATEC — Singapore’s well-known hospitality and culinary school. And yes — I’m proud to say I earned my Diploma in Food Services (Pastry and Baking).

It was one of the biggest achievements of my life — proof that even if you start with zero experience, passion can take you far.

Why I Bake

For me, baking isn’t just about the end product. It’s about the process, the learning, and most importantly — the joy of sharing something homemade with others. Whether it’s a curry puff, a loaf of soft bread, or a flaky pastry, every bake is a chance to connect.
