Raymond Tan

Breaking away from the conventional notion of cakes as purely edible treats, Raymond Tan’s exhibition titled ‘A piece of …’ expands the horizons of creative expression by presenting cake sculptures designed not to be devoured but to be viewed as works of art.

Raymond Tan’s story begins in Selangor, where he spent his formative years before relocating to Australia in 2006 to pursue higher education.
While completing a master’s degree in accounting, Tan discovered baking as a creative outlet.

His inventive bakes, including whimsical cake pops, intricately decorated fortune cookies, and stunning celebration cakes, quickly gained attention on Instagram.

Tan’s cake pops, featuring designs such as cacti, drippy watermelon, iconic landmarks and figures such as Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld, became an internet sensation.

His work was featured in Vogue, reposted by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and highlighted in numerous other prestigious publications.
