About Me
- the baker/decorator behind
Blooming Cakes
After spending 23 years in the classroom teaching infant children, my career path completely changed during the year 2020.
​
It followed my attempt at making my daughters 18th birthday cake in the 2020 lockdown having never made a celebration cake before.
​
From there I developed a growing passion and eagerness to learn the
piping techniques to recreate flowers in buttercream.
I watched endless video tutorials and spent many an hour practising over and over.
Four years later I have a successful little business and a wonderful little shop in the Derbyshire town of Belper.
​​
If I could surround myself all day with cupcakes and buttercream,
I would.....all day, every day.
​​
To me, cupcakes are perfect, irresistible little things.
People love the individuality of the cupcake treat, the decorative
possibilities are endless.
It's your own little cup of joy.
You can take it home, even save it for later,
but best of all you don't have to share!
…To me a cupcake is a tiny, perfect, indulgent work of art…
