It started with a butterfly....





I have spent year's looking for something creative to do.... My husband always said I needed a hobby as I get restless very easily. It never occurred to me my love for eating it would start me on my journey short as it is.

It started with my first pregnancy where I just wanted to eat it. I craved and devoured it and don't I still know it.

On my daughter's 1st birthday I thought as a new mother I had to prove my motherhood and prove I could give my child the best present a home made cake. I had just moved to a new country where the typical cake was made of cream and gaining material for fondant cakes was hard to come by.


When I fell pregnant with my second I couldn't stop baking and my husband would wake to the smells of blueberry muffins and scones. When visitors came to visit just after the baby was born I still had a freshly baked white chocolate cake for eating.


So came the second daughter's first birthday which was a special moment for us and she deserved a good cake. Thalia was in a body cast for hip dysplacment and we wanted to celebrate and what better way but to celebrate with a cake. And a minnie mouse cake was born....



And so my love of baking was born and that's briefly how I started.
