My Bakes


I love baking <3

It's my passion and my favourite way to pass the time. Except with 2 young kids, the time passes very well by itself and I don't get too much time to indulge anymore.

Mostly, I bake celebration cakes as it's the only time I have a good reason to get the mixer out. One of the first cakes I made was my daughter's first birthday cake. It's definitely not my best work, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed making it and how proud I was of it. I always use organic ingredients and the freshest eggs from hens in my garden! You can't buy cakes as fresh as these in the supermarkets!

I love special occasions, just so I can bake. Here are my favourite celebration cakes made by me!
