How would you sum up your experience at Le Cordon Bleu Japan?
School was more than just learning baking skills. My classmates and Chefs made the experience so much richer. Japanese chefs like Chef Yuji really made an impression on me because they project this takumi (artisan) spirit that's rare to see.

What do you think your biggest take-away from Le Cordon Bleu Japan is?
I'm now working on my own brand, BoboLEE Cake, and I my cake designs tend to be simple and elegant. Obviously, taste and quality are very important, but this straightforward aesthetic is something I learned from studying at Le Cordon Bleu in Japan.

Any advice for those looking to start their own pastry business?
It takes passion to succeed and the willingness to keep learning and improving.
