Lee Samantha, "I started making food art in December 2008. When I was heavily pregnant with my second daughter. It was to encourage my elder daughter to eat independently after the arrival of her younger sister. I sketch my designs before I make them into food to stay organized and prevent food wastage."
leesamantha.com"I look for cute images or a topic to start with every morning. Then, I sketch the ideas. Sketching the creations brings more inspiration; the more I sketch, the more ideas I will get."
