What did you have for breakfast this morning? Coffee, Coffee and Coffee, this is an absolute must for me to function through my morning, I’m not a morning person.
-
How long have you been Cake Decorating for? I have been cake decorating around a year and a half and what a wonderful year and a half it’s been 😊
-
Why did you choose Cake Decorating? I really enjoy anything that’s creative and colourful. I love to draw, paint, make clothes and eat so cake decorating felt like a natural progression for me.
-
In times of doubt, what do you do to get back into your creative zone?This is tough and we all through this, I try to take a step and not force it, music is always a great way to get the creative juices flowing. Also take in your surroundings, I get my inspiration/colour from absolutely everything around me.
-
Where did you learn your Cake Decorating skills? I’m self taught so a lot of practice, a bit of YouTube and my lovely baking friends helpful tips and tricks.
-
What is your typical day like, what does it entail? My typical day is a Fashion Buyer by day and a baker/content creator by night and anytime in between is spent editing and catching up with family and friends - this is why coffee is a must for me 😂 but I love what I do so it really helps to keep me motivated.
-
We know Edible Art Paint is a medium you use, what do you love about it? I love that I can paint and eat my work 😂 it’s so versatile, easier to use and it’s a perfect finish for any bake, it’s just give it that little something extra and extra Colour is an added bonus to any bake !
-
What is your #1 piece of advice for the newbies in Cake Decorating? Practice and have fun with it, don’t over think about style, your own style will come naturally find what you enjoy and make it your own !
-
Who is your inspiration in the Cake Decorating world - name three (TAG THEM) Oh I have so many lovely inspiring bakers that I’ve met along the way but if I had to pick 3 I would say Jo @create_make_bake Sarah @bakeboxboutique Vicki @littletwinkletreats and I have to add in @eldercottagebakery whose work is perfection.
