They've spent the last 20 years handing over the keys...

I got to hand over the cake. 🎂🔑

Congratulations to Ray White Whitsunday on celebrating 20 incredible years! It was an honour to create a cake for such a special occasion.

Here's to the next chapter! 🥂

There's something about a pink and purple ombré cake that just feels like a celebration. 💗💜

Soft, elegant and a little bit magical, this beauty proves you don't always need bold colours or over-the-top decorations to make a statement.

Sometimes, simple really is stunning.

Who else is a sucker for an ombré finish? ✨

When a Mumma Bear contacts you all the way from Ireland... you gotta help her out!

Her daughter has recently moved to Airlie & felt homesick about the fact that Mum wasn't here to make her favourite chocolate cake.

I've never whipped up a chocolate quicker! On the way, I grabbed a birthday card & a beautiful bunch of blooms from . I delivered them all along with a "hug from Mum".

I'm not quite at that stage yet, as my babies are still in primary school, but one day when I find them across the other side of the world, I hope someone will do the same for my kids 🩷

This little beauty marks **cake number FIVE** for one of my favourite clients. 💛🌸

Every year she comes to me with a very specific vision, and every year I get ridiculously excited to bring it to life.

This year's brief? Soft yellow, pink and yellow Lambeth piping, dainty buttercream flowers... and I have to say, I think I may just have nailed the assignment.

One of the best parts of this job is getting to be part of people's celebrations year after year. Watching families grow, seeing the changing cake trends, and wondering...

What on earth are we going to dream up next year? 💕

Nothing brings people together quite like cupcakes.
Well... cupcakes and collectively agreeing that calories don't count during work hours.

I'm pretty sure that's how the rule goes anyway. 😂🧁

My love language is buttercream. Unfortunately, it usually translates to tighter jeans.

Meet the newest members of Team Ambitious Cakes...

**Jack** & **Frost!** ❄️😂

Yes... I name my appliances.

No... I won't be taking questions.

These two are hybrid fridge/freezers, which basically means they're the ultimate multitaskers. In the lead-up to big weddings and events, they can work as freezers so I can get organised and bake ahead. Then, when decorating week rolls around, they transform into fridges to keep cakes perfectly chilled and ready for all the buttercream magic.

It's one of those behind-the-scenes investments that nobody really sees, but it makes a huge difference to how I can plan, prepare and deliver the best possible cakes for my customers.

And because plain white appliances are just a little... boring... I'm already plotting a custom wrap for the front of them.

Just as soon as I find this mysterious thing everyone keeps talking about called "free time." 🤷‍♀️😂

Until then, please welcome Jack & Frost to the family! 💙

Now tell me... am I the only one who names random things, or am I in good company? 😅

When my girlfriend mentioned she wanted "extra special brownies" for her 40th... I was 100% on board. 😉🍃

Unfortunately...
It was a lunchtime party.
There were children.

Apparently, that's "frowned upon." 😒

So instead, we settled for a mountain of rich, fudgy, chocolatey brownies piled high with all the good stuff.

Not *those* brownies...

Just the kind that disappear suspiciously fast and leave everyone asking, "Can I have another one?"

Honestly, probably for the best. It saved me having to explain why Grandma was suddenly fascinated by the pot plant. 🤭

Happy 40th, my friend! 💕

First time playing with lines on a cake — and not just any lines… black buttercream lines. On a purple cake. Because apparently I like to keep life interesting.

Now here’s the question I had to answer in my own head while doing it:

👉 Do you do the black buttercream first… or the purple?

If you said purple first… we’re not friends today 😂

Black went on first. Always. Because black buttercream has zero respect for boundaries and will absolutely try to take over your entire life if you let it.

Once the black was set (and I’d stopped holding my breath), the purple went on and suddenly everything made sense. Clean, sharp, intentional… and honestly, a bit addictive to look at.

Definitely one of those designs that looks simple until you’re the one standing there doing it with a piping bag in your hand questioning every life choice up to that point.

But I’ll admit it… I kind of loved it.

Would you try black buttercream on a cake or is that a hard no from you? 🤍🖤

OK, confession time....

My brain is my worst enemy at times!

I recently completed a wedding cake that was a challenge for me. It's not usually a design that I would say yes to, but alas, I did.

I'd been thinking about it for weeks ahead of when it was due.
The day had come and I had a dark cloud over my head. ...
"My skills weren't good enough to pull off the design. "
"It would turn out an utter mess"
"I'd disappoint my beautiful couple".
All these delightful things running through my head as I completed the cake.

I put the finishing touches on it and still hated it. Everyone else around me was astounded at it's beauty... and yet I was disappointed.

I was hesitant to drop it off without a huge apology to my customer... who was delighted with the cake as it turns out.

Anyway, enough of my sad sack ramblings 🤣
At least now you all know that my heart & soul literally goes into every cake that leaves my kitchen 🩷
