Cakes

My baking journey began when I had to stand on a stool to reach the kitchen counter, where my grandma taught me how to cream butter and sugar to make the fluffiest butterfly cupcakes. And yes, I always licked the wooden spoon.

Fast forward 20 years to my time as a café owner, perfecting techniques by making passionfruit, lime and coconut, and flourless chocolate cakes over and over again. From the individual cakes displayed in the café’s glass cabinets came requests for bigger celebration cakes: birthday cakes. Wedding cakes.

I love the scientific challenge that comes with baking, but it’s the creative process that truly lights me up—crafting beautiful centrepieces inspired by, and made for, the people they celebrate. My cakes are many-layered, adorned with sheer buttercream and fresh flowers, never too sweet, and always… well, maybe just a little slice more.”
