About Baker X
After a successful year of supporting 16 bakers from all walks of life and with different baking philosophies, Baker X now enters its second year with a continued exciting line-up for the first half of 2023. Through Baker X, home-baking entrepreneurs are offered a rewarding and enriching experience of operating out of a fully-fitted baking studio and café, which serves as a potential launch pad for them to scale up their production and set up a physical retail space.
With the aim of inspiring homepreneurs to realise their dreams whilst offering mall shoppers a distinctive experience by supporting local, Baker X is excited to unveil a line-up of popular home-bakers that will take the fancy of those who love a good bake.

About Chocolatea Founder & Baker Dawn Yong
Founder Dawn Yong’s passion for baking was ignited by fond, vivid memories of enjoying her mother’s cakes in her growing years. With her mother’s love for Swiss rolls, Dawn was determined to create the best version for her. She launched a mini Swiss roll log cake for Christmas in 2020 as her first signature creation, and it was well-loved by her mother and her followers. Other popular items that followed include tea-based bakes featuring a variety of premium Japanese teas such as matcha, hojicha, and genmaicha, sourced directly from Kyoto, Japan.
Cherbaxtartyy
Date: 22 Feb to 4 Apr 2023
Following Chocolatea, the next baker in the line-up will be Cherbaxtartyy, who will be taking residence at Baker X from 22 February to 4 April 2023.
