ABOUT
I’m the cake designer, baker and cake decorator behind every order that leaves my kitchen.
My journey into cake decorating wasn’t a straight path.
Starting my career as a chef, I transitioned into baking before eventually discovering a love for cake decorating. The more I learnt and created, the more I realised I had found exactly what I was meant to do. It just took a little while to get there.
In 2008, I completed professional cake decorating training at one of Melbourne’s leading cake decorating schools. After Finishing training, I was offered a position as a cake decorator then head cake decorator, where I continued to refine my skills and learn new techniques over five incredible years.
When our family began to grow, I decided it was time to combine my passion with the flexibility of working from home. What started as a small home based cake business has grown into Best Wishes Cake shop.
Every cake is still designed, baked and decorated by me with the same attention to detail and love that first inspired me all those years ago.
My Kitchen
Although Best Wishes Cake Shop is a home based business, all of my cakes are created in a dedicated commercial style cake studio that’s completely seperate from our family home.
The studio is a purpose built studio exclusively for my business and fitted out as an industrial kitchen allowing me to maintain high standards while enjoying the flexibility of working around my family life.
By operating this way, I’m able to offer the same level of care and quality you’d expect from a specialty cake shop, without the added overheads of a retail shopfront. That means I can keep my prices fair while continuing to provide custom cakes made with care and attention to detail.
There’s something special about knowing my cakes become part of people’s memories.
I love hearing parents say the'ir children don’t remember “their sixth birthday” or “their ninth birthday”. Instead they remember their dinosaur birthday, their princess birthday or bluey birthday because every year they had a cake that made the day unforgettable.
That’s why every cake is designed to be more than dessert. It’s designed to be a centrepiece, a conversation starter and something your family will remember long after the last slice has been eaten.
I don’t believe every cake should look the same because every celebration is different.
I absolutely love creating children’s cakes. The brighter, more colourful and more fun, the better! Bringing favourite characters, animals and themes to life is one of my favourite parts of my job.
For adult celebrations, I love creating cakes that feel personal. Whether it’s inspired by golf, classic cars or a favourite sports team . I enjoying designing cakes that reflect the person they’re made for.
And while I love a fun themed cake, I’ll never say no to creating an elegant, timeless and beautiful cake.
While I’m best known as the baker and cake decorator, that’s only part of what I do!
When you contact Best Wishes, you’ll always be speaking directly with me. I’m the office manager, customer service team, social media and website manager, photographer, stock manager, bookkeeper, dishwasher and everything in between. If something needs doing, chances are I’m the one doing it!
Beingn involved in every part of the business means every order recieves the same care and attention from start to finish.
