“Finally managed to get this out from my kitchen ❤️ after 4 months due to a busy schedule 😓. This wouldn’t be possible without the kind-hearted Chef Shirley Santos-Yanga 🥰❤️ of Shirley Yanga Cake Design 🙏. I’m super grateful for all your teachings. All her students will agree—she’s generous with sharing techniques, and when students ask, she always answers with more info. Grateful student from a distance.”

"Once upon a time, I sucked at making edible flowers. I attended every course, but I could not get it right. Then one day, @shirleyyangacakes taught me. At first, I thought I couldn’t make them still, but because she’s a great teacher, I built my confidence. She taught me the foundation and step-by-step process to make sugar flowers from scratch. Finally, I did it. These wafer flowers are magnificent with Chef Shirley’s great tips and guidance. I think I’m hooked now. Thank you Chef Shirley!"

“I’m so glad I pushed myself to attend a 2-day wafer paper flowers workshop with @shirleyyangacakes! This is my second time learning from her (first was gum paste 2 years ago). I totally enjoyed myself learning from Shirley. We also spent time chatting as we worked on each petal 😍. Thanks so much for the generous sharing, tips, yummy food, and friendship! Now I’ll practice these flowers and go back for more classes!"

“Completed the Edible Wafer flower class (Peony, Hydrangeas, and Eucalyptus) today. Thank you Chef Shirley of @shirleyyangacakes for teaching the long and short methods of making these realistic flowers. I’m so excited to apply this in our future celebration cakes!”
