A good friend of mine recently gave me great advice over dinner a few days ago. At a loss as to what to do with myself despite my many passions, he told me simply to chose a clear path and then to persevere despite the difficulties I may encounter along the way. He also told me that ” A journey, (wherever it may take you) begins with a single step” if you are brave enough to try. As we ate the birthday cake I had made for him (in the shape of a battery, believe it or not! Him being an entrepreneur in the energy sector), I got to thinking… scary as it may be and as unpredictable as it may seem, I finally feel ready to embark on this new, exciting adventure, and hopefully you’ll love sailing the tides with me!

Former fashion designer and children's book illustrator, I decided after quite some soul searching, to start a baking blog, specifically about cupcakes,sugar paste and chocolate decor techniques and many more other exciting cake making ideas. I decided this was the best way for me to learn more about the magical world of cake making, and create beautiful, edible art using my different skills.
I've always loved baking, whether it be a child's birthday cake, a traditional, English Christmas desert, or for Sunday brunch with the family;
Now I wish to take my passion a step further and create unique cakes inspired by my own illustrations and characters I've imagined, using basic techniques I will learn on the way.
Like story telling and children' s picture books, I believe that baking (and eating) cakes can transport us, and whether it be the bold and exciting colors we use, the creamy textures and witty, imaginative characters we create or the delicious smell of warm melted chocolate oozing from the middle, time suddenly stands still, and for a fleeting moment we're brought back in time... Our senses are heightened as we remember forgotten memories that inevitably bring a smile to our faces.
I'd like to be the one to make you smile.
