Newcastle, NSW, Australia
I’m a former industrial chemist, and after deciding on a career change while at home with my two young children, I’m now a qualified pastry chef and cake decorating enthusiast. In 2009 I started taking some classes in cake decorating and other pastry-related cookery, and taught myself many more decorating techniques from books and internet resources. In 2010 I started a pastry apprenticeship, studying Retail Baking (Cake & Pastry) Certificate III at TAFE, which I completed with Distinction in 2012. I completed my apprenticeship in December 2013, and as of 2018 I am now working as a Cake Decorator at Designer Delights in Charlestown, NSW.

Upsy Daisy Mark II

It seems so long ago now... I was working on another Upsy Daisy cake for the weekend when the job opportunity came up.  When I made my daughter's Upsy Daisy, the hair didn't work out the way wanted it too, so I didn't have much choice but to stick it down on her forehead.  I always thought that if I ever did another Upsy Daisy I'd put her on a bigger board and fan out her hair... MUCH better!

  1. Upsy Daisy looks awesome.
    Funny, I've only just started getting into the whole cake decorating thing (a. because I think I did a pretty good job on my sons 1st birthday cake and b. because I thought I could do a better job than one I bought at a local bakery). Anyway, I was going to say, I used to be a Chemist in a previous life too.
