About Us

I started my career in cake decorating in 1991, while working in a patisserie in my hometown of Rochester in Kent. Thrown in at the deep end when the resident cake decorator retired, I had to learn quickly, but I was hooked!

Since that hasty apprenticeship, I have been privileged to study Sugarcraft and Cake Decorating professionally at the prestigious Brooklands College, gaining distinctions to Advanced level. My other studies include inspirational chocolate courses, wedding floristry, and a spectrum of traditional arts and crafts that can be translated into sugar to stunning effect.

In recent years, my work has been entered into local and national competitions, achieving a number of 1st and 2nd prizes, and a silver award for floral sugarcraft at the international Salon Culinaire.

Since opening my original sugarcraft studio in Rochester, I have recently relocated, and now work from Brompton Village, near Gillingham. Here, I continue to follow my dream to design and create beautiful, individual wedding cakes. If you like what you see in my galleries, please contact me to discuss how I can help you achieve your dream.
