Ever since Singapore’s Circuit Breaker, wave after wave of home bakeries have sprouted up on social media — and the latest to jump on this bandwagon is none other than photographer and Instagram ‘influencer’ Daryl Aiden Yow.
Daryl, 29, is perhaps best remembered for his Photoshop scandal in 2018, where many of the pictures on his Instagram account (currently with 124K followers) were discovered to be edited versions of stock images. For three months following the scandal, Daryl disappeared from Instagram amid cancelled sponsorships, then re-emerged on social media, having rebranded himself as a photography and editing expert. The influencer has since reestablished his career, and tells us he currently enjoys a steady line of behind-the-scenes photography work from clients such as beauty brand Su:m37.
However, the BFF and collaborator of fellow influencer Drea Chong is now elbow deep in an entirely new line of business: churning out sweet treats out of his two-bedder condominium in Upper Serangoon for his month-old online bakery, Absolutely Batter.
