Amanda’s Oven is all about “inspired creations by sugar artist and buttercream florist Jinky Yamsuan”, which has been featured in Inquirer before (see here). Today, I thought of her baked goods, which made me look back at the old photographs I’ve taken of her sweet treats. Seeing the pictures led …
