Yvette Chua was teaching Home Economics at Cedar Girls’ High before she decided to hone her pastry culinary skills by joining D'zerts Cafe as their resident Pastry Chef. Pastry Chef Yvette counts 2am:dessertbar Chef Janice Wong (below) among those who inspires her.

The result is the creation of very special exquisite flavored cakes, pastry and desserts that you hardly find anywhere else. D'zerts Cafe does not have a regular fix menu as Pastry Chef Yvette uses seasonal ingredients and with her creative skills has come up with new inventions every other day. This keeps dessert lovers in suspense and they really visit D'zerts Cafe with this anticipation to be surprised every time they stepped into D'zerts Cafe.
