🍰 A little something different from the usual cakes… I need your help! 🧠🤖

Most of you know me as the person behind Belle’s Homemade Bakes, usually covered in buttercream and making cakes at ridiculous hours 😂

But when I’m not baking, working or being Mum, I’m also completing my Psychology Honours degree at Federation University Australia.

I’m currently working on my Honours research, looking at how Australian parents use AI-generated health information, such as ChatGPT, when seeking information about their child’s suspected or diagnosed neurodivergent condition.

And I’m SO close to finishing my interviews! 🙌

I need around 6 more parents or caregivers who:

🧠 Have a school-aged child with a suspected or diagnosed neurodivergent condition, such as ADHD or autism
🇦🇺 Are Australian citizens or permanent residents
🤖 Have used ChatGPT or another AI tool to seek information about their child or their condition
💬 Would be happy to have a relaxed 45–60 minute chat with me via Microsoft Teams

There are no right or wrong answers. I’m genuinely interested in hearing about your experiences: why you turned to AI, what you asked it, whether you trusted what it told you, what was helpful (or completely unhelpful!), and how it compared with other places you might look for information.

❤️ And because this community has supported my little baking business so much, I’d love to return the favour. If you participate in an interview, I’d like to offer you a discount on your next order from Belle’s Homemade Bakes as a little thank you for giving me your time.

If this sounds like you, or you know someone who might be perfect for my study, please share this post or the flyer below.

You can scan the QR code on the flyer or email me directly at [email protected] to register your interest.

Every interview gets me one step closer to finishing this Honours thesis, and I would be incredibly grateful for your help. 🥹🩷

The cake that started our next chapter… 🤍📖

This one was a little bit special… because it was our wedding cake.

Knowing I’d already made every guest their own individual mini cake, I still wanted a beautiful statement piece to tie everything together. So, I got a little creative. The top tier was the only real cake, while the bottom three tiers were foam, giving us all the height and impact of a four-tier wedding cake without the waste.

Our cutting cake was a rich vanilla mud cake filled with a smooth vanilla filling. Every tier, real and foam alike, was coated in silky American buttercream before being wrapped with edible prints of our wedding vows, backed onto fondant to create the look of aged book pages.

Finished with piped buttercream details and cascading florals in our wedding colours, it was the perfect centrepiece for our storybook-themed wedding.

It just goes to show that a stunning wedding cake doesn’t have to feed hundreds of guests. If you’re serving desserts another way, using foam tiers is a fantastic option to create a show-stopping display while keeping costs and waste down.

Cake Details
🤍 Top tier: Vanilla mud cake
🤍 Vanilla filling
🤍 Bottom three tiers: Foam display tiers
🤍 American buttercream finish
🤍 Edible wedding vows backed with fondant
🤍 Hand-piped buttercream detailing
🤍 Statement floral arrangement

This will always be my favourite cake I’ve ever made… not because it was the biggest or the fanciest, but because it celebrated the start of our forever. 🤍

✨ Nothing goes to waste around here! ✨

Every one of these cake pops started life as the offcuts from my own wedding cakes (for my wedding this weekend!). Rather than letting delicious cake go to waste, I transform them into these little bites of happiness. 💙

🤍 Rich vanilla mud cake
💙 Dipped in coloured white chocolate
✨ Finished with a lighter blue chocolate drizzle and a sprinkle of edible gold glam

And because everyone deserves a sweet treat…
💙 The heart-shaped cake pops are gluten free, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Sometimes the leftovers turn into something just as special as the main cake. 🥰

Would you choose a classic round cake pop or a gluten free heart? 👇

🤠 When a customer says, “Whatever you can whip up,” it’s always a little extra fun! 🤎

I had officially closed my books for July, but I just couldn’t say no to this adorable “My First Rodeo” theme! Sometimes a little creative freedom is all it takes to bring a special celebration to life.

This custom creation featured:
🤎 8-inch, 4-layer caramel cake
🤍 Vanilla cream filling
🧁 American buttercream
🐴 Edible images backed with fondant for a polished finish
🌵 Dark chocolate shavings to create the perfect little “dirt” details

The order also included a special request for one gluten-free, dairy-free cupcake so everyone could join in the celebration. I couldn’t resist making two! 💛

🧁 Gluten-free vanilla cupcakes
🤍 Gluten-free, dairy-free frosting
🌵 Edible images backed with fondant

I absolutely love how the colourful bandana bunting, cowboy details and little desert scene came together. It’s simple, fun and perfect for celebrating a little cowboy’s very first rodeo.

Thank you for trusting me with complete creative freedom. It’s customers like this that remind me why I love creating cakes that are as special as the celebrations they’re made for. ❤️

💜 Some cakes just mean a little bit more… 💛

This one was incredibly special to create because it was for my own little girl, Tillie, as she celebrates her 2nd birthday. 💕

Last year her cake was decorated with daisies, so this year I wanted to continue that floral theme in a new way. I incorporated her favourite colours, purple and a beautiful golden yellow, and hand-crafted delicate rice paper flowers, dyed pink and finished with hand-painted gold edging to make them extra special.

Watching my little girl grow has been the greatest privilege, and being able to create her birthday cake each year is something I’ll treasure forever. 💜

✨🧚 A little bit of fairy magic for a very special first birthday! 🧚✨

This enchanted fairy garden cake was created to celebrate a beautiful little one’s first birthday, and I absolutely loved bringing this magical design to life.

🌸 Inside the cake:
🍰 8-inch, 3-layer vanilla cake
🍓 Strawberry filling
🧁 American buttercream finish with hand-piped vines, flowers and all the intricate details

The fairy door, windows, mushrooms and log were handcrafted from fondant and carefully hand painted to bring this little fairy village to life.

The only non-edible pieces are the fairy silhouettes and the personalised cake topper, which I also designed and made myself. Both can be customised and made to order for your own special celebration.

It’s these tiny details that make cakes like this so much fun to create, and seeing it all come together into a whimsical fairy garden was incredibly rewarding. 💕

If you have a theme in mind for your next celebration, I’d love to help create something unique that’s just as magical.
