Tell us a little bit about yourself and your family
I’m a mom to one wonderful boy, Charlie, and a wife to a loving husband who also happens to be my biggest cake fan. Together, they inspire me every single day and make life so full of love.
What inspires you most in your day-to-day life as a mother?
My husband and Charlie inspire me the most. Charlie’s curiosity and joy remind me to see life with wonder, while my husband’s love and support give me strength and balance.
What inspires you at @cakeempire.id?
Seeing people’s happy faces when they enjoy a cake is the best reward. And for me, sharing knowledge and teaching others is pure happiness—it’s what makes Cake Empire so special.
Describe the perfect day in Bali with your tribe?
A perfect day would start with a morning at the beach, watching Charlie play in the sand while my husband and I soak in the view. Then we’d enjoy a delicious lunch together, and later bake something sweet at home to share. We’d end the day with laughter, cuddles, and gratitude for the simple joys.
What are some words you’d use to describe yourself as a mother?
Loving, nurturing, playful, patient, and always striving to create joyful memories for my family.
