“I want to set up my own YouTube channel one day, I am waiting for my mother to help me set it up so I can make baking and cooking videos,” she said. Ooi is not alone in the pursuit, however, as breadmaking and home baking have become a worldwide phenomenon among those stuck at home due to measures countries have taken to try and contain the coronavirus disease pandemic.
