Aside from flourishing further in her showbiz career, Sarah Geronimo includes putting up a food business as part of her long-term goals.

Geronimo revealed this while talking about why she decided to attend a baking school, as seen in a vlog on her actor husband Matteo Guidicelli’s YouTube channel on Sunday, May 5.

“My passion for baking—talagang na-intrigue ako,” she said, recalling how she started exploring baking during the pandemic lockdown.

“Although nakakapag-bake naman ako following the recipes I see on YouTube, pero syempre gusto kong matutunan ‘yung proper technique. ‘Yung consistency, siyempre ‘yon ang mahalaga when baking,” she added.

When asked who inspired her to do such, the actress-singer said it was Guidicelli.

“Ikaw ang inspiration ko kasi syempre gusto ko ‘pag nag-bake ako [ay] magustuhan mo,” she told the actor who was filming the video. “Na sana makagawa rin ako ng ganito; makapag-create rin ako ng recipe na masarap at magugustuhan din ng mga tao,  kasi happiness ko ‘yon.”

Geronimo then revealed that one of the reasons why she strived to acquire professional knowledge on baking was to be able to put up her own bakeshop in the future.

“I wanted eventually to make it a business, [kasi] siyempre sayang din naman ‘yung na-acquire na knowledge at natutunan mo through experience and formal training kung kayo-kayo lang, within your family mo lang mashi-share ang baked goods mo or cooking mo,” she stated.

“Pero matagal pa ‘yon kasi syempre meron pa akong—hesitant pa ako kasi kapag sinabi mong food business kailangan maayos na maayos talaga ‘yan kasi kinakain ‘yan ng tao,” she said.

Geronimo became a certified pastry chef after graduating from a baking school in 2022. Prior to taking a baking course, Geronimo also took cooking classes in 2016.
