We have always had a love for all things food, but more so for all things sweet. This passion came about from a very young age when we used to bake with our nan. She would make lemon meringue pie, and with the left over pastry we would make small jam tarts. I've never forgotten she would always let us eat a jam tart while they were still warm. (Everything tastes better when its still a little warm).
As we grew older we became hobby bakers, taking more interest in creative cake making, and working on numerous baking and sugar craft projects, as well as courses, this increased our personal understanding and techniques. Being artists we always love pushing boundaries and making cakes that are out of this world. We are never afraid to attempt something new, in fact the challenge is quite exhilarating. Having a sister that's also a best friend enables us to work together in a very close and open way, constantly evaluating decorating techniques and finding ways to improve our skills so that we can work efficiently together.
We are older now both with young families to look after, so we finally decided to put our hobby to the test, and took a leap into the ever growing cake decorating community, and we have never looked back. As children we never once thought that we would be making a career out of baking together, it’s so amazing being able to work doing a job that you love.
The best part about baking for people is, seeing the joy and excitement when a cake is revealed for the first time, this moment is priceless and brings us so much joy. It makes all the hard work and long hours we put into our custom cakes so worthwhile. We are thrilled that we have come so far and are extremely excited for what the future will bring as we grow our business together.
