I always knew I wanted to tell stories with cakes. I literally would not touch a cake job if there was no interesting story to tell. It was either a love story, a tale of triumph, a celebration of hard work, commitment or a precious memory that knitted the lives of the people involved. So for me a cake order wasn't just another line in the food menu but a symbol of thoughts and words waiting to be creatively expressed.
It has always been important for me to understand the emotions around the celebration and then the personality behind the celebrant/client. Where specifications have been made I offer modifications and it is always a joy to have them accepted and incorporated. From creaming to decorating and making the final touches, every step is carefully done to keep the story in mind.
All Cakes are stories but not all of them are told well. This is simply because it takes a good cake story teller to tell them well.
