Heny Sison, a distinguished Filipina Baker, has cultivated a profound love for the art of baking, driven by her innate passion for sharing this culinary craft with others. Her journey began under the guidance of her mother, who instilled in her the belief that food tasted better when made with love. Starting from a young age, Heny delighted friends with her signature blueberry cheesecake and delectable chocolate cake.
Despite initially working in the banking and government sectors, Heny recognized the need to align her career with her true passion for baking. She honed her skills through culinary courses under renowned mentors, including Tess Isaac, Sylvia Reynoso-Gala, and Avelina Carbungco-Florendo. In 1985, she ventured to Woodridge, Illinois, completing courses at the Wilton School of Cake Decorating and Confectionery and the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, Napa Valley.
Returning to Manila with renewed purpose, Heny Sison's flair for cake design earned recognition among high-profile clientele, establishing her as a sought-after baker for dream wedding cakes. In 1985, she founded the Heny Sison School of Cake Decoration and Baking, later evolving into the Heny Sison Culinary School, offering intensive culinary education.
From its humble beginnings in a converted garage, her school has grown to offer short recreation courses and months-long culinary programs led by a team of full-time and part-time chef instructors. Heny's culinary expertise earned her the "Certified Culinary" award from the American Culinary Federation in 2006 and the elite "Pro Chef Level 1" designation by the Culinary Institute of America.
Beyond her culinary school, Heny is acclaimed as a leading food stylist for TV and print commercials. Her column, "A Taste of Life," in The Philippine Star reflects her ongoing influence in the culinary world. Heny remains inspired by personal growth, often seeking inspiration in her travels to different cultures and cuisines.
