Disaster strikes #3: I survived the Melbourne photo shoot ........ just

82 days ago by cakesbynadia | 2 comments »

I don’t think I have ever felt as nervous as I did when travelling to the first day of the Myer Emporium Shoot. Having been on countless shoots over the years in Sydney, I have become used to knowing the people I work with. If I didn’t know the photographer, then I knew the stylist, or the art director or at least had worked in the studio before, but this was so different. In a different city, in a privately owned home, with 2 photographers, a stylist, the stylists assistant, ...

Hi and if your reading this or looking at my cakes you will realise I’m not a pro and just starting out. So far I’m loving baking and creating cakes.

On A Mission #1: Prayers for Baylee

123 days ago by KelilahsKreations | 2 comments »

This “Series” of blogs has to do with giving. Giving to others seems to be a “thing” for me :) I decided when I started baking that it couldn’t always be about money.

Pretty soon I feel indignant about those who don’t want to pay and discover that gem that rises up in me. I always come back to &#...

On A Mission #2: Baylee's Cookies

116 days ago by KelilahsKreations | 2 comments »

https://www.facebook.com/PrayersForBaylee There’s a link above for beautiful Baylee. I hope people are inspired to stop by and pray for this precious little girl. I haven’t met her but that doesn’t matter. She’s important and precious, beautiful and worth every effort we can all give to pray or act on her behalf. This week I didn’t have a cutter for the design she’d like… so I downloaded a few pictures of Hello Kitty and chose a few. I drew ...
