I'm Dirk Luchtmeijer from The Netherlands and started my company this earlier this year 2015 (www.cakeznfun.nl)

I worked for over 10 years as an audio engineer in a mastering studio near Amsterdam. The last time i made something with my hands was for over 30 years ago i guess :) . 2011 my life seriously changed. I lost my job and the music business could not use my expertise anymore. I freelanced for over a year but could not find any satisfaction. 2012 my wife started making a cake for my daughter...well, that didn't come out that good ;) so i start helping her. After that something changed...for good :P .. within a year my talent popped up like it's coming from nowhere. Totally surprised i won several local events. 2014 was definitely paying off all hard work and passion. After getting gold awarded at national competition i ended up first of class at NEC Birmingham 2014 (small decorative exhibit) That's where it started for me to pick up my tools and start decorating for my life. Now i have been in several countries giving masterclasses and have my own cake studio near home. I guess that cake my wife started was the best thing happened to me :)
