S3, E41 | Eddie Tan: Why I Turned Down A Michelin-Star Future To Build A Bakery From Scratch

from Hello Mentor · host Hiredly

In this episode of the Hello Mentor podcast, we sit down with Eddie Tan, the founder behind the popular bakery brands Cake Tella (known for its alcoholic cakes) and Keto Cakes. Eddie’s culinary journey began unconventionally, a self-described poor student who found his passion in a culinary arts program , he initially trained as a hot cooking chef, even securing a spot on a competition team and working at the Michelin-starred DC Restaurant. Despite lacking baking experience, an encounter with a popular, yet underwhelming, homemade cheesecake ignited his entrepreneurial drive, leading him to learn baking from the ground up. Today, Eddie has built a thriving business over the last 14 years , pivoting successfully through the MCO lockdowns and now balancing his time between B2B supplies, running his personal brand "Eddie Ming," and cultivating his true passion: grooming the next generation of culinary and business talent. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on Hello Mentor to hear the full story (Link in Bio) Follow us on Social Media: XiaoHongShu: https://shorturl.at/uVBZO Instagram: https://shorturl.at/hT6wQ TikTok (Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/0gum2 TikTok (Grow With Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/gAObT Dou Yin: https://v.douyin.com/uQlXc4X0vaY/[email protected] 🎧 Listen and follow Hello Mentor!: http://hiredly.com/hellomentor
