Luo was chosen to make Chinese cookies for all the first ladies at an APEC dinner, which were later presented as gifts in a specially made wooden box.

Luo painstakingly decorated her handmade cookies with flowers from all four seasons, with each one taking her four to five hours to make. The flowers were very lifelike.

"The petals were made of icing sugar, which I shaped first of all. I then added color to them before pasting each one onto the cookies. They were very small and thin and very fragile, so I needed to be very careful," says Luo.
