Chef Abi is a cake designer and culinary artist and the former pastry chef for the award-winning Honolulu Coffee Company. As pastry chef at Chef Alan Wong’s flagship restaurant in Honolulu, she created beautiful signature desserts that remain among the most popular menu items.

In London, she received a Diplome Superior from L’ecole de Cuisine Francaise de Sabine de Mirbeck and a City and Guilds Diploma in Advanced Pastry from Westminster College, a selective training program for working pastry chefs. Chef Abi started her career with an apprenticeship at London’s distinguished Four Seasons Hotel.
