My name is Erika Ukkonen and I am 21 years old. I live in Mikkeli, South Savo, Finland. I am a third-year student of baking and pastry-making at South Savo Vocational College.
I became interested in baking as a child. A few years before starting my studies, I began to wonder if baking could become my profession. I’ve come to realize that this is my passion—I love baking and creative thinking.
I spend my free time either baking or doing crafts. My grandmother was a skilled craftswoman. I am inspired by her, I do a lot of crafts, which also helps with my
baking. I want to develop myself and learn as much as I can, no matter the subject.
