2. April 16, 2011 Ann uploaded her first video.
3. Because I was so amazed on how creative, talented she is by making her cakes. I’m not into baking before but then I watched her videos and tried using her recipe’s that turned out so delicious as always. She’s one of the person that I admire the most because she influenced me to be a baker and be the best person that I could be. Who would have taught that from watching her videos, making it at home and now running a small business which is (home based). Thank you so much, you’re such an inspiration to me and to those who want to be a baker someday.
