Over the last 15 years, my commitment to enhancing my skills, have been driven by my desire to provide my clients with the best possible experience. I’ve been fortunate to have learnt from some of the most talented Cake and Sugar artists both in Australia and Internationally which has helped shape my approach to wedding cakes and decorations..
My journey began at Planet Cake Sydney, where I immersed myself into the world of cake decorating. Starting with Basics 101,102, classes in Brisbane, I learnt essential techniques such as, filling, covering and working with ganache. Mastering fondant was a pivotal moment for me, I practised covering round, square cakes and even dabbled in basic figurine work and fondant bows, stars on wires. The thrill of transforming simple ingredients into beautiful, edible art was addictive.
Motivated by my passion, I travelled to Sydney to complete 104,105, alongside some amazing friends I met in Brisbane. These advanced classes introduced me to stacking cakes for tied designs, crafting basic sugar flowers and rolling out thin fondant decorations. Completing levels 106,107,109,110 was a significant milestone as my family joined me for 2 weeks to celebrate this journey. It was so heart warming to have them witness my growth first hand.
Upon finishing the Planet Cake Basic Series 30th September 2011, another ultimate experience working in the Planet Cake kitchen for a week. This opportunity allowed me to see behind the scenes operations of a custom cake kitchen. I loved every moment, meeting talented individuals, some of whom I still keep in touch with today.
My learning didn’t stop there. I pursued more intricate flower techniques from Greg Cleary and Anna Maria and Zoe Clark & Beata fromPetite Pivoine Cakes Poland. I also engaged in a 3 day chocolate class with Jessica Pedemont and created an Easter chocolate masterpiece with Julie Whitehead in Brisbane, and also other skill based novelty cake classes in a round Sydney and Brisbane to.
Each experience enriched and deepened my understanding of cake artistry, especially in the context of weddings.
Each wedding cake I create is not just a dessert, it’s a centre piece of celebration filled with love and joy. My journey has equiped me with the skills and passion to turn dreams into reality, ensuring the each couple’s special day is unforgettable through a beautifully crafted cake that reflects their unique story.
