The 57-year-old professional works for one of London's top hotels - The Langham - as their Executive Pastry Chef.
She started her first job aged 14 and soon asked if she could work in the kitchen, before she began attending cookery school at the age of 16.
Cherish soon honed her skills in the best hotels in Singapore, including the famous six star Raffles Hotel and The Sheraton.
The International Pastry Consultant is no stranger to being in the spotlight and has been on a number of TV shows during her career.

The new role comes after Channel 4 star Prue Leith stepped back from all GBBO specials.

Ozzy Osbourne tried to 'calmly' murder his wife Sharon but was clueless the next morning
Ozzy Osbourne was married to Sharon for over 40 years before sadly dying at the age of 76. But he previously opened up about the time he tried to strangle her to death while high on drugs Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has sadly died at the age of 76, just days after he took to the stage to perform in his final ever gig. The Black Sabbath star was married to Sharon Osbourne for more than four decades, but there was a time when he "calmly" tried to murder his wife while under the influence of drugs. Ozzy found himself behind bars one morning in 1989 and was apparently unaware that he had attempted to throttle his spouse. While it wasn't the first time he had been behind bars, Ozzy had to ask a police officer what had happened, to which they replied: "You're charged with attempting to murder Mrs. Sharon Osbourne." Ozzy Osbourne's final wish fulfilled by Sharon in heartbreaking move before death Ozzy Osbourne's final days as he died with devoted wife Sharon by his side The couple opened up about the horrifying moment their family was almost irrevocably torn apart in a documentary titled The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne. Looking back to that dreadful evening, Sharon remembered tucking up her young children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, before settling down with a book when a drug-crazed Ozzy entered the room. According to The Sun on Sunday, she said: "I had no idea who was sat across from me on the sofa but it wasn't my husband. He goes to a stage where he gets that look in his eyes, the shutters were down and I just couldn't get through to him. "And he just said, 'We've come to a decision that you've got to die'. "He was calm - very calm - then suddenly he lunged across at me and just dived on me and started to choke me. "He got me down on the ground on top of me and I was feeling for stuff on the table. I felt the panic button and I just pressed it and the next thing I know, the cops were there." The shocking incident took place when the family had been living in Buckinghamshire, England. Sharon recalled how the thought of her three young children gave her the strength to survive and hold on until the police arrived. Echoing her account, Ozzy admitted he was clueless as to why he ended up behind bars the following morning. He remarked: "It's not exactly one of my greatest achievements. "All I remember is waking up in Amersham jail and I asked the cop, 'Why am I here?' And he says, 'You want me to read your charge?' So he read, 'John Michael Osbourne, you have been arrested for attempted murder'." The husband and wife were able to move on from the ordeal, and Ozzy went into rehab on numerous occasions for his addictions. The Osbourne family, including Sharon, their daughters Kelly and Aimee, their son Jack and Ozzy's son, Louis, revealed in a statement that the Black Sabbath legend had passed away on Tuesday morning. They said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Ozzy, who was known to millions as The Prince of Darkness, had been battling ill-health in recent years, and played his final ever gig just weeks before his death.

Brooklyn Beckham slammed for comment on wife Nicola's naked bath photo
Billionaire heiress, Nicola Peltz, has shared a nude photo of herself, posed to perfection in the bath, however her husband Brooklyn Beckham's response hasn't gone down well Brooklyn Beckham has been slammed by fans after commenting on his wife's jaw-dropping photo. Nicola Peltz, 30, made sure all eyes were on her in the saucy snap, which she proudly posted on Instagram and in which she poses to perfection in the bath - completely nude. The billionaire heiress captioned the image: "Best memories" with a string of holiday emojis as proud hubby Brooklyn, 26, gushed: "I took the photo in the bath" followed by a love heart. However, fans were distinctly unimpressed with his response, with several calling him out in the comments. Claiming the reply was 'totally unnecessary', one quipped: "Hey, every time we know you took the photo, don't have to say it every time." Another replied: "Well, that should get some tabloid coverage" as a third sniped: "He has no choice! He has to do everything she says." Meanwhile, a fourth fumed: "We get it, you guys love each other. Maybe spend more time telling each other than telling the world." However, there were some positive replies, as one fan responded: "Some nasty comments from jealous people! Wow ... be better. They're a beautiful young couple who happen to be rich ! Good luck to them I say." It comes as the feud between the couple and the Beckham family continues to rumble on, with Brooklyn and Nicola showing no signs of reaching out to David and Victoria after swerving the England star's 50th birthday in May. Brooklyn and his brothers, Romeo and Cruz, also do not follow each other on Instagram as rumours of in-fighting between the siblings continue to swirl. As the feud continues, Brooklyn's godfather, Sir Elton John, has reportedly stepped in to try and fan the flames of peace after hosting the wannabe chef and Nicola in Cannes. The music legend, 78, recently took the young couple for lunch in the celebrity mecca alongside husband David Furnish. The gathering took place at the upscale La Guerite beach club, where the group reportedly addressed the strained family dynamics. 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,' a source told The Sun in relation to Elton's peace-keeping attempts. 'He's utterly neutral in this row.' And while the Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) star may have previously leaned into celebrity rivalries, such as his past feud with Madonna, those close to him say he's now more interested in maintaining peace. The insider claimed: 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn, but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. "He just wants everyone to be happy."
