My Journey
In Cake Design
Where it all started
Every great adventure begins with a single step, and my journey into the world of cake design is no exception. What started as a simple love for baking, has blossomed into a fulfilling career that allows me to share my passion for creativity and sweetness with others.
When I think about what led me to start my own wedding cake business, it feels like a mix of fate, passion and a love for creating memories. Wedding cakes, after all, are so much more than desserts. They are often the centrepiece of one of the most important days in a couple's life. To me, making a wedding cake is like being invited to share in that joy. But my journey wasn't always covered in sugar and frosting. Let me take you through how I got started, why I'm passionate about what I do and how my business continues to grow.
My love for baking and passion for all things creative began in childhood. I have fond memories of baking with my family during the holidays, there was something magical about watching simple ingredients like flour, butter and sugar transform into something beautiful and delicious. Decorating was just as exciting as baking the cake itself. Even then, I was fascinated by colour, texture and the little finishing touches that could turn something homemade into something truly special.
Looking back, it's no surprise that I found a career that allows me to combine my creativity with my love of baking. From those early kitchen experiments to the intricate wedding cakes I create today, my journey has always been driven by a passion for artistry, craftsmanship and flavour.
When I first started my journey in cake design, I knew I didn't want to simply be good—I wanted to be exceptional. I invested in business training and attended numerous specialist sugar flower courses to continually refine my skills and elevate the quality of my work. More importantly, I adopted a mindset that has stayed with me throughout my career:
"Until you step outside your comfort zone, you'll never truly know how great you can become."
That philosophy continues to shape everything I do. Whether I'm mastering a new sugar flower technique, experimenting with innovative textures or bringing an unusual design concept to life, I constantly challenge myself to grow. Every new skill and every creative risk allows me to offer something even more special to the couples who place their trust in me.
One of the proudest milestones in my journey came in 2026 when Cakes of Curiosity was honoured with the Guides for Brides National Customer Service Award in the Cakes & Sweet Treats category. Winning a national award, based on the wonderful feedback and reviews from my couples, was an incredibly proud moment. It recognised not only the wedding cakes I create but also the personalised experience I strive to provide from our very first conversation through to delivering and setting up each cake on the wedding day. It reaffirmed everything I believe about putting my couples at the heart of my business.
I love creating wedding cakes that are a little different—cakes that push creative boundaries while remaining elegant, timeless and deeply personal. Whether I'm working with delicate handmade sugar flowers, contemporary textures or unexpected design elements, I embrace every opportunity to create something unique that reflects each couple's personality and story.
​
As Cakes of Curiosity continues to grow, so do my ambitions. I'm constantly learning new techniques, exploring fresh ideas and developing exciting flavour combinations, always looking for ways to offer something new and memorable. My goal has never been simply to make beautiful cakes; it's to create an unforgettable experience that becomes a cherished part of every couple's wedding journey.
​
Even today, I still find immense joy in experimenting with new materials, exploring different artistic mediums and challenging myself creatively. The excitement of learning has never faded, and I hope it never does.
​
Being creative isn't just something I do—it's part of who I am. It's woven into the fabric of my soul, influencing every design I create. Each wedding cake begins as a blank canvas and becomes an opportunity to transform imagination into something beautiful, meaningful and completely unique.

I can't wait to see where this journey takes me next as I continue creating unforgettable wedding cakes and sweet memories, one celebration at a time.
