I can’t say that my fascination with cake decorating & baking had its origins in a romantic story of how I learned to bake at my Mum’s or even my Nan’s knee. Mum hated baking & Nan was on a completely different continent.
A passion for cake decorating & baking has come via a rather circuitous route & somewhat late in life – oft referred to by myself as my third phase.
Having spent the first decade after high school in the rigid confines of an accounting profession, I sought to break free by having a gap year at 29 which stretched to 6 years but it was fun rebelling. During this time I met my husband & together we embarked on an adventure of owning & running a guest house which lasted almost 8 years before the death of my parents brought us to where we are today.
Living an idyllic life on a smallholding in the sea-side town of St Helena Bay with our pooch, Muttley, we’ve been given the opportunity to review what we want from this life & it was during this time that I developed an interest & passion for baking & cake decorating.
My husband has built me a studio dedicated to baking & cake decorating - it's marvelous - I feel as if I have come home.
