For the guy or girl who has all the tools! ⚒️

This is the kind of toolbox I could get behind! May not help me with all my DIY projects but will sure taste good with a cuppa!

So I can’t quite believe I am here. Last week was the first week I could work daytime hours. My babies are no longer babies and since 2020 cakes by Zhara has been a job working in the evenings / early hours of the morning. Juggling night feeds, naps and caking. During the day Caelan quite often came to the shops for supplies and sat on my knee while doing admin. Fast forward and I did all the same with Grace 2023 onwards! They both have been with me for cake deliveries and stock trips to! Swipe for a trip down memory lane! 🥰

As much as the struggle was real I got to be with my kids full time and see every little milestone. I wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Looking back I’m so proud of what we managed to achieve. Me and my babies 💕🥰 (not forgetting Callum!)

Fast forward, I’m here. Still?! How amazing is this?! Every school run and nursery run. I am able to be there for my kids when they need me! Callum took me out for a coffee on my official “first day” ZENNOR 👌😘

Another chapter has started and will take me a little time to find my feet, I’m not going to lie I felt a little lost last week! I made a few mistakes 😅

Thank you for every single order and for filling my diary 📔

You’re helping support me and my beautiful family! 💕🥳🙌🏻

Excited for what’s in store next, and maybe getting some sleep 🤣 😴 💤

I have noticed an upward trend in buttercream meadows… flower details sometimes with a mix of fondant but hand piped to suit your occasion both in muted pastel tones and bright fun colours. Hopefully I’ll get more of these…. So beautifully simple yet detail at every turn 💕🎂

Aghh it’s been awhile! Again 🙈 so many cakes going out, here’s one from last weekend. A classic bear cake. I love making bears and these were no exception! Scroll for the handmade bears ready to be dressed up and put on the cake! I love making everything by hand and once added with all the other touches including their mini bow ties I think these bears were perfect to celebrate a special occasion! 💕🎂

A cake for a milestone birthday 🎂

Based on a cake design the customer had seen but changed the cats to look a little more like her own pets 💕

They are far from perfect copies but it’s the small touches that can make something unique and beautifully personal to match such a special occasion! This is why you come to me 🥰

I love trying to recreate all your requests in fondant - using fondant for your designs is definitely my preference and I love spending time modelling recreating one of pieces for you all to enjoy!

Happy 60th Sandra! Hope you had a great celebration! 🎂🥳

Still here caking away making and baking and decorating! A first birthday cake for Luca, loved the bright yellow base with pops of green on this one! 😍 animals handmade by me with some tips from - I’ve had a very quick flick though some books, they are great!
