My love of design and cake decorating inspired me to set up Make, Bake and Decorate.This all started over 20 years ago when my children were small as I couldn't find anything with aWow factor so I decided I would have a go myself. Initially it was more trial and error, but with a lot of hard work and a healthy imagination my efforts paid off. I was now enjoying my new hobby and enquired about the availability of local sugar craft courses. Fortunately there was a course available so I joined and became totally hooked. My tutor saw potential and encouraged me to do my city and guilds which I did and after three years I was awarded top cake decorator of the course. I was delighted. A few years after that in 2004 I finally built up the courage to set out and start a small business working from home. I started attending wedding fairs (which we now organise ourselves) and small craft markets, building up my clientele. In 2005 I was approached and asked if I would be interested in passing on my skills; by teaching a sugar craft course at a local centre. I was encouraged and advised to do my teaching certificate. Me a tutor of sugar craft I couldn't believe it. It had boosted a confidence in me I didn't know I had. My hobby escalated and my passion grew for it even more and finally in 2009 I opened a shop with my business partner Lena who is a photographer. |
