TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU BECAME A CAKE
DECORATOR & HOW YOUR BUSINESS HAS EVOLVED?
My cake decorating journey started in 2013. As a graphic
designer, I wasn’t feeling creatively fulfilled in my job, so
I naturally started searching for other creative outlets.
Coincidently, the first season of ‘The Great Australian
Bake Off’ launched to air on tv’s across the country. Their
first episode? Cupcakes. I was immediately hooked and
so began my amazing journey into the cake world.
After a couple of years of cake decorating as a hobby,
I officially opened my business ‘Commie’s Cupcakes’
in 2015. I was known for creating intricate, edible art
on cupcakes. Soon after I opened, I started to receive
requests for cake classes. So in 2016 I created and
taught my first in-person Beginners Cupcake Class, and
that’s where I discovered my love for teaching.
White Wings range of premium flours are made using quality Australian wheat
grains and triple sifted for your best baking results. That’s why the
Australian Women’s Weekly test kitchen exclusively uses White Wings flour.
I love helping people find their confidence in cake
decorating and guiding people to become the master
cake maker they always wanted to be. This type
of passion has lead me to launch my Boss Bakers
Membership Hub - my new online class platform!
