Another SOLD OUT class! 🎉🎂

Our Buttercream Drips & Sprinkles class was packed with cake decorating goodness!

Students learnt how to:
✨ Torte and fill their cakes
✨ Crumb coat like a pro
✨ Cover a cake beautifully in buttercream
✨ Master a smooth Water Ganache drip — and yes, water and chocolate do mix when you get the ratios right! 😉🍫
✨ Finish it all off with the truly stunning Pink Velvet Crunch Mix from S P R I N K S ®

Such a fun class and I loved seeing everyone’s cakes come together. 💕

Thank you to everyone who joined me — onto the next one......1 more class to go, and then im off to Canada for September 🥰🛫🇨🇦

Still not over this one! 🌵🧁✨

Last week’s Succulent Buttercream Class was SOLD OUT and what an absolute treat it was! 💚

A room full of lovely people, piping bags at the ready, and buttercream succulents blooming everywhere. 🌿 From those first slightly-nervous swirls to the “WAIT… I actually made that?!” moments — everyone did such an amazing job.

There was plenty of piping, laughing, learning and, of course, buttercream. 😋

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made the class such a fun one. I loved seeing all your gorgeous succulent creations come to life!

Missed out on this one? 👀 Keep your eyes peeled… you might just see another class pop up! 🌵💚

🍷🍇 Aged to perfection… just like Steve! 🍇🍷

What better way to celebrate Steve’s 60th than with his very own vintage wine barrel — in cake form! 🎂

This beauty was an absolute labour of love, with 8 layers of caramel mud cake, filled with chocolate buttercream and a very generous drizzle of salted caramel. 🤎 Then she was covered in rich dark chocolate ganache and dressed completely in fondant.

And the best part? Everything you see is edible! 🙌

🍃 The vine leaves were made using Sprinks Thin Wafer Paper
🍇 The bunches of grapes were individually made from fondant
🍷 The wine bottle was sculpted from Rice Krispies and covered in fondant
🪵 And that wine barrel… cake, ganache and fondant from top to bottom!

I am SO proud of this cake. She really is a beauty! 😍

Happy 60th Birthday, Steve! 🥂 Here’s to a truly excellent vintage — 1966! 🍷

So excited to give this beauty a crack over the weekend.

✨ SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN! ✨

Last week's Jelly Cat Cake Kids Class at Cooks Plus was an absolute hit! 🩷🍰

We had 14 enthusiastic little decorators, aged 4–10, who each created their very own adorable Jelly Cat Cake to take home. The creativity, concentration (and excitement!) was amazing to see, and there were lots of proud smiles as everyone showed off their finished masterpieces. 🎉🐱

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful young cake decorators for making the class so much fun! 💕

🎅 COMING THIS CHRISTMAS...🎅

Our next Kids Cake Class will be just before Christmas, where we'll be decorating everyone's favourite cheeky festive cake... Santa's Butt Cake!🍑🎄😂

Spots will fill quickly, so book your child in now!

📞 Call 8258 8871 to secure their place.

We can't wait to create more sweet holiday memories together! ❤️🎂

❤️🍰 Baking day = Red Velvet day! 🍰❤️

There's something so satisfying about watching a beautiful, moist Red Velvet Cake come out of the oven... especially when it releases perfectly every single time! 🙌

One of my absolute must-haves? Reusable Baking Liners! I love them so much that I now have more than 25 in all different sizes (and multiples of my favourites!). They make baking my mud-style cakes an absolute breeze.

I use them for all my mud-type cakes, and they work brilliantly every time. For my lighter cakes like Utility, Buttercake and Sponge, I stick with my trusty Mondo cake tins and Bakels Sprink Spray—each cake has its perfect baking method!

If you haven't tried the Moreish Reusable Baking Liners yet, they are definitely worth adding to your baking toolkit! ❤️

🎉🍫 Happy 47th to these two legends! 🍫🎉

This cake was made to celebrate my wonderful husband, Julian, and his best mate, Colin, who are both turning 47! ❤️

These two have been best friends since **junior primary school**—proof that some friendships really do last a lifetime. 🥹

The birthday request? "Just keep it simple for pizza night!" 🍕😂

So naturally... I went with CHOCOLATE OVERLOAD! 🍫🤎 Rich chocolate buttercream, chocolate drips, and all the chocolatey goodness they could possibly want. Simple... but definitely not boring!

Happy Birthday, boys! Here's to another year of friendship, laughter, and plenty of cake! 🎂🥳

🐞💕 How cute are these little ladybugs?! 💕🐞

I couldn't wait to try out the NEW LOYAL Bakeware Ruffle Piping Tip #70, paired with my signature American Buttercream… and I think it's safe to say I'm in love with those gorgeous ruffles! 🌸✨

To finish them off, I added the sweetest Sprinks Edible Icing Ladybug Decorations from S P R I N K S ® —because every cupcake deserves a little extra cuteness! ❤️🐞

Who's adding the new Ruffle Tip 70 to their must-have toolkit?
