coming up roses. (tutorial to come!)




i've loved making sweet treats for as long as i can remember. i really got into the baking groove when i was attempting to obtain my bakers badge as an eager girl guide. i do recall it being a packet mix but good old betty crocker did the job well. at uni i combined my love for baking with my contemporary art studies and was soon known as the betty crocker of my friday afternoon philosophy class. after much support and interest from friends, family and co-workers i began my little business in 2010. i was baking orders for weddings, birthdays and soon after a local boutique cafe. juggling a full time job at my beloved gallery and baking every week soon took it's toll and i decided to only take on smaller more manageable orders from then on. it's only now, a few months after arriving in holland that the drive has returned and i'm back in the baking game. the photos i'm sharing with you are inspired by a current creative project that has allowed me to go a little crazy with colours and styling. i get asked A LOT about my techniques and materials so because sharing is caring....i will soon be sharing MY VERY OWN 'HOW-TO' VIDEO! i am currently working with a creative team as we speak to produce a little something for you. check back soon!

Lovely looking cakes! May I ask a question? We find butter icing very sweet and rich, do you have any suggestions for alternatives that still look sophosticated and pretty? Many thanks!!!!

You are a true gem sharing all your secrets, I would love to give these a go and as always your colour palette is true perfection. When are you opening a cupcakery/coffee shop/gallery space? mel x

Laura, I do love the simplicity of these cupcakes (flavours, rose frosting). You clever thing! I've not really ventured into cupcake baking but these are calling me!

Looking forward to you video - for some reason I got really excited about it and that you are venturing that way - have fun with it!!
