The first cake I created was in 2009 for my eldest son’s girlfriend’s 21st birthday. What really drew me into creating cakes was the decoration. I love the creativity and being able to ‘play’ with ideas and make things.

 

I love to hear customer’s celebration plans, and it’s very important customers feel confident in what I’ll be creating for them.

 

Before we get started I ask a lot of questions to understand what customers are looking for. Then I can go away and research and enhance their ideas. To have a customer place their trust in me to create a bespoke cake especially for them is a great feeling.

​

In my early days of cake decorating I was trained by “the royal cake maker Dawn Blunden”. She has since become a wonderful friend.

 

I bake and decorate in my baking kitchen in the small town of Crowland, a few miles from The Deepings and Peterborough.

​

When I’m not cake decorating I’m usually clearing up the mess in my kitchen or spending time with my ever expanding family with four sons, three daughter-in-laws and seven grandchildren.
