Pretty Much Cakes My love language is cake πŸ’–πŸŽ‚πŸ’– Hey I'm Saskia!

To me, cakes are memories. 😍

Growing up, I always looked forward to the epic cake creations my Dad would whip up for each and every birthday.πŸŽ‚ I can remember my birthday cakes more clearly than the celebrations themselves - so being able to help memories be made, through cake, is one of the most special things to me! πŸ₯°

It's been awhile since I shared anything! Enjoy this photo dump of cakes from the past few months!

A Mermaid/Princess castle in the clouds cake for my daughter's 6th birthday! It was my first try creating rice paper sails and doing a marble effect in the cake layers. πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘Έβ˜οΈ

My learnings: Do not surround the top tier with candles - everything will melt and the rice paper sails WILL catch on fire. Please scroll to see my daughter's reaction to me melting and setting her cake on fire 🀣πŸ₯²

It's time for me to part ways with cakes... at least for awhile!

This year was all about me making as many cakes as I could, to practice the various skills cake decorating requires and to get a feel for if it is something I would like to do professionally.

I learnt so much along the way and got to be a part of so many beautiful celebrations, but ultimately have realised that doing it professionally is going to take away what I love about making cakes for people and continuing to make cakes, as a hobby, as frequently as I have been is definitely not feasible either.πŸ™ƒ

So, after I wrap up the last couple of orders I have in November I'm saying farewell to cake making! Thanks to everyone who has supported this journey along the way, I've really been on a high all year from all the wonderful feedback I've been getting!

I imagine I'll be back at it at some point, as I still have so many styles I would love to try (and will still be doing the odd cake for family, of course), so I will leave this account up for any updates.

I had a new team member start today and so I made her a little 4 inch starry sky cake. I've been wanting to try the style for awhile!

I probably came across as a bit 'extra', but hopefully she felt welcome 🀣

This adorable doggo cake was originally a total mess!πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜±

Almost everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I followed some advice from a Facebook group I'm in and changed up the design to fix the mistakes. I ended up loving it so much in the end and had a lot of fun creating the cake toppers! Skip to the end to see a photo of the dogs they were based on and the birthday girl!

Kia ora koutou! This cake was made just in time for the start of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language week)!

The brief for this cake was β€œsomething inspired by Māori culture incorporating Kawakawa leaves”. I had so much fun!

Kia pai te wiki πŸ₯°
