About Me
Welcome to Cakes With Flowers!
My passion for baking began 30 years ago when baking cakes for family and friends' birthdays and events. Growing up in Somerset instilled in me a great appreciation for flora and fauna, and has provided me with a wealth of inspiration that is reflected in my designs.
During my education and in to my twenties I enjoyed a career working with horses, which I carried on for six years before having my two children.
When my children grew up and flew the nest I decided to pursue my dream of a career in cooking. I studied a professional cooking qualification and was lucky enough to work under an award winning chef for three years. Here, I had my first experience catering for weddings. I felt a sense of privilige to be able to contribute to the couples special day.
It was during this time that I attended the Cake International Show and from that point I was hooked on sugar-craft. I found and joined a local sugar-craft group which enhanced my love for creating sugar flowers.
Today I have my own cake studio where I bake my cakes using top quality, local ingredients. Where I can, I like to use my own homemade jams and curds which I produce on a seasonal basis, and I enjoy experimenting with new designs.
I feel blessed to be able to do something that I love as a career. I hope that you enjoy my work, and I look forward to work with you.
