About the Expert Khyria Cepe used to think that baking was hard, but upon the prodding of one of her close friends who later became her business partner in their cupcake business, she tried to learn how to bake. She bought cookbooks and tried to follow them and was dismayed at her initial failures. However, the number of flopped recipes did not decrease her drive but instead fueled her determination to learn the art of baking. After several soggy cupcakes, with the inspiration of the popular TV shows Ace of Cakes and DC Cupcakes, she began to increase her baking skills until she eventually had the courage to start her cupcake store Sugar and Spice (and everything nice) in her hometown in the Philippines. She enjoys baking because it is a practical craft to learn, and it allows her to exercise her creativity and stretch the limits of her imagination.
