I began my working life at sixteen as a trainee confectioner in my father's bakery business. At that time cake decoration was a mere hobby, as learning the basics of confectionary production within the day to day running of the family business was essential. I attended the local Technical College where I studied part-time for four years until successfully completing my bakery training.
Whilst cake decoration is now my full-time occupation, I feel the knowledge and experience gained from those early days as a confectioner has given me a solid foundation on which to produce top-quality Couture Celebration Cakes.
Twenty years on since decorating my first cake there have been many changes within the cake decorating world; including the introduction of new high-quality soft icings available in a multitude of colours and textures, a vast array of versatile chocolate and innovative photograph print replication using specialist edible inks, which allow my customers to have an even wider choice in cake styles.
All these improvements in materials and technology have allowed celebration cake design to reach new levels, setting higher standards of quality and service for you, the customer.
