Ask me anything is a series of posts where I answer any questions you may have about me. Cake decorating related or not 🙂 I’m planning on making a fondant cake but I dont want to bake the cake itself. This is because I’m planning on making a cake for my son’s baptism and Read More …
I usually have issues with my fondant mixture when the weather is dry, it cracks. What can I do to stop that? I don’t know how you are storing your fondant but make sure it is double wrapped in cling wrap and then a plastic bag. If you want to be extra cautious, you can Read More …
They said you can never truly understand what someone is going through until you are in the same shoes. I’ve always sympathised with students and other cake decorators who struggle with climate issues when it comes to cake decorating. I only have to go on the forums to see posts of cries for help when it’s been a rainy Read More …

Cakes that don’t look like cake Read More …
Last week, my cousin came over for a private Mad Hatter class. She was holding a dinner for everyone to thank them for their help and support during her wedding and wanted to present the cake as a thank you gift. She created everything herself – all the flowers, the figurine and the cake Read More …
My heart always breaks a little when someone says ‘it’s just cake’ when referring to what I do. I know what is under the sugar works of art is deliciously moist cake, but it is what’s on top that I am the most passionate about. This week I made a cake for the Read More …
It was my birthday last Friday and it was a little sad because it didn’t feel so ‘magical’ anymore. I had a fantastic day (as much as you can have at work!) and the celebrations continued into the weekend with some wonderful presents and people. The boyfriend took me to Becasse and it was Read More …
