Hello, First of all, thank you very much for your interest [...]. I hope you enjoy it, and please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any query concerning my cakes... SOMETHING ABOUT ME... I never thought I would become a cake baker and decorator although I have a passion for design and cooking. My first university degree was in law, but before long I completed a second degree in fashion design, where I could create and work with colours, hand crafts and lots of pretty things!! After meeting and becoming friends with a special person and a wonderful cake designer from Brazil, Beth Gomes, I became inspired. Beth encouraged me and gave me first tips on how to work with sugar paste. I completed further cake design courses in Brazil and in the UK with Debbie Brown. I continued practising sugar craft, attended conferences and studied the work of various professionals from Europe and America. Today, I hope you enjoy the cakes I create as much as I enjoy making them! THE CAKES... All cakes are handmade using selected ingredients such as Belgian chocolate and fresh fruits (e.g. passion fruit). The cakes are carefully decorated the way you wish with at least two layers of the filling of your choice!
