About

I am a qualified chef, with a background in the wedding cake industry. I have been running a small cake baking and cake decorating school for about 15 years and enjoy teaching. I enjoy recipe development and writing, and was a regular contributor to Food24 between 2010 and 2020. I am a mom of 3, including twins and self-proclaimed smarty pants who likes making marmalade, listening to true crime podcasts and taking road trips through the Karoo
