Using just agar-agar powder, natural food colouring and specialised syringe needles, Tan quickly mastered the art of crafting realistic looking flower bouquets using jelly cake as the qualified architect then began offering classes through a Malaysian Facebook group, and her cakes have since grown a following on Instagram.
