I am immeasurably proud to have been given the opportunity to come up with a concept cake for Singapore’s 50th birthday. Singapore is so full of diversity and history that this cake could easily have ended up the size of a HDB block if I had included all of my ideas! Instead I focused on some of the most iconic representations and those which have affected me in one way or the other during my first 4 years in Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew was my first and foremost thought and I wanted to include his memory as the most prominent feature as without his vision and hard work, Singapore would not be what it is today. Working down I have included the nature, the metropolis and multicultural history that is Singapore.

Special mention to the very talented Sandra Macheroux who very generously gave me access to her amazing collection of Singapore photos which I used as inspiration for many of the elements featured on my cake.

Majulah Singapura!
