Aloha! 👋 I hope you're comfy as this is a bit of a long post! 🤣

Firstly, I know I haven't been quite as active lately - life certainly has gotten busier these last couple years with work and parenthood. I've taken a step back to evaluate what I can properly offer in this business, while maintaining some form of work-life-business balance.

While I'd love to continue producing elaborate 3D fondant cakes, and bakes with fondant figurines/decorations, at this time I simply don't have the capacity to take those kinds of cake projects on 😔 So it's time to pivot!

I will be amending my product offerings to the following:
* smaller single-tier buttercream celebration cakes, with off-the-shelf decorations, chocolate drips and custom-made 3D printed toppers (like pictured)
* deluxe brownie slabs topped with ganache & sprinkles, with optional message, and
* loaded buttercream cupcakes

I will also offer the service of custom 3D printed items:
* word toppers only (designs options to come)
* cookie cutter / embosser stamps

While I feel disappointed to have to introduce such a significant change to what I've become known to offer, I hope to still continue baking in our Canberra community. And I hope you'll stick around on this new adventure with me! 🤗

What a treat to be asked to create this beauty for a 50th birthday celebration! 🥰 it had been a while since I'd last made sugar flowers - I admit my palms were feeling a bit achy the next day from the gumpaste rolling 🤣

Made up of vanilla bean cake, filled with silky-smooth vanilla buttercream and tangy raspberry jam 😋

With Christmas just around the corner, I'm sure there are home bakers wondering what they could bring along to a family or friend gathering. I thought I might share this recipe for the Chocolate Pecan Pie that I blogged about a little while ago. I think it would pair perfectly with some vanilla ice cream 😋

A review and remake of AWW’s Triple-Choc Pecan Pie It was Mothers Day 2024 that I would receive the Australian Woman’s Weekly’s “Baking: The Complete Collection” cookb…

With all the Christmas-related stuff starting to fill my Facebook feed, I felt inspired to create an assortment of traditional Austrian Christmas cookies to bring along to a friend's dinner party 🎄

Using recipes out of the Austrian cookbook I inherited from my dad, Google Translate came to my rescue in translating them from German to English. It mostly turned out well, although a couple of things may have gotten lost in translation 🤣

L-R:
* Linzerbäckerei (Linzer cookies with raspberry jam)
* Spritzgebäck (Viennese fingers)
* Trüffelkugerl (chocolate truffle balls with rum)
* Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescents)
* Husarenkrapferl (Hussar cookies with strawberry jam)
* Lebkuchen (spiced honey rye cookie with mix of chocolate & sugar glaze)

Oh, hello there, stranger! 👋 You have probably noticed I've been quite absent for the last year or so, following the passing of my dad. It hit hard - harder than I ever anticipated. I expected that I would feel ready to get back into cakes earlier this year, but then the egg-availability-crisis of 2025 hit. I took it as a sign that perhaps I should have some time off from cakes, to focus more on being present as a mum, as well as taking the time to adjust being more available to support my mum. I am, however, hoping to reopen to public orders in the future, so stay tuned 👀

In the meantime, I have a hard time saying no to friends - here's a little number I conjured up made up of red velvet cake and cream cheese Swiss meringue buttercream 🤤 happy birthday Melissa, I hope you have an amazing day 🎉

Sneak peak time... red velvet cupcakes with vanilla bean buttercream, vanilla bean cookies with a white choc drizzle, and - hot topic this week - caramel slice! 🤣 (traditional recipe with le golden syrup lol) so come on down to Bonython Primary School and show your support! 😄

Why hello there! It's been a while since I've posted. Just a quick note to share, that if you've been missing my baked treats, I'll be supplying some for this Saturday's cake stall being held at Bonython Primary School - ACT. I'm thinking maybe some cuppies, perhaps some cookies, and some kind of slice or brownies. What d'ya reckon? :)

While I've not been taking on cake orders, I've had the time & energy to work on other cake-related projects that I've been wanting to do for a while. The first - a suite of FREE online tools that you can access on my website.

And the first tool in the suite - Ganache Calculator. You can learn more about it on my blog:

The first tool has landed – the Ganache Calculator! If you’re wondering what the tool is for, it’s so you can estimate in one sweep the total amount of ganache you’ll need i…
