I'm not saying it's my favourite wedding cake from the last 12 months... (although it absolutely is!).

A vegan wedding cake. Locally sourced native flowers adorning it. Some frills, lines and pretty colours. An idea to run with and faith in my creativity. A Wye River wedding.

And a gorgeous bride, groom and family to enjoy it!

A big thank you again to Liv & Harry for putting your trust in me on your big day and for choosing a truly awesome cake!

Obsession of the month (possibly even the year so far!). The votes are in and I swear every second cake I make appears to be of the lemon meringue variety!

People can't get enough of the punchy bright lemon curd, the silky smooth buttercream, the moist vanilla cake with zesty lemon and of course... the clouds of meringue toasted on top!

If you have a need or fancy for delicious, handmade cake in the coming weeks or months, please sing out - either fill in the easy enquiry form on my website or shoot me a DM or email.

Can't wait to see if lemon meringue is the number 1 flavour for 2026 or if something else topples it off the perch!

A bit of morning tea baked yesterday to celebrate the wonderful volunteers at Great Ocean Road Health in Apollo Bay.

I made flourless chocolate wattleseed cake and lemon myrtle yoyos - two native flavours that I love baking with, not only because they taste amazing but because they grow connections and start conversations about the unique flavours in this land.

Wattleseed has beautiful warming coffee/choc flavours, and lemon myrtle gives the freshest citrusy flavour and aroma. They are such special ingredients and I love being able to incorporate more Australian native flavours into my baking where I can.

For me, baking can be more than just making something sweet. I love that using ethically sourced native ingredients helps support First Nations growers and producers, celebrate's what is naturally grown here, and creates a connection between food, community and caring for the places around us.

It felt really fitting to share these special bakes to celebrate people who spend so much of their time caring for others in our community.

A big thank you to all the volunteers at for everything you do!

How's this for a transformation?!

I have had a number of vintage inspired heart cake orders recently and I think this one takes the cake so far 😉

Beneath all the swiss meringue buttercream is actually a moist, spiced carrot cake... sooo yummy!

From the customers mouths "The cake looked amazing. None left - speaks for itself!"

If you want or need a 100% real, delicious and special cake soon, please send me a DM or fill out the enquiry form on my website. I would love to bake for you!

Repeat after me: proteas are NOT a native plant. Banksias, however, are. And they are stunning.

The request was a buttercream floral birthday cake with native flower twist, which gave me the opportunity to play around with some piping tips and create a firewood banksia (Banksia menziesii), eucalypt blossom and everlasting daisies.

Bright, floral, chocolatey and delicious - with a native Australian twist.

Want to see me attempt some more buttercream native flowers? Simply place an order and let's make some magic happen!

P.S. want to know more about the cake? It was a luscious wheat free chocolate mud cake, layered with rich, deep dark chocolate ganache.

If baking isn't on the cards for this Mother's Day... let me give you an easy option.

CLASSIC TIRAMISU - layers of Savoiardi sponge fingers soaked in espresso & Tia Maria, rich and creamy mascarpone custard - a perfect nightcap/indulgence.

LEMON MERINGUE - A favourite for a reason. Fresh, light, bright and zesty - special and delicious.

Made in small batches and ready to dig into. So she doesnt have to make anything herself this year.

Pick up in Apollo Bay only on Friday 8th or Saturday 9th.

Less than 20 left - these WILL sell out before tomorrow night!
