If you know me, you know I’ve been making cakes professionally for about six years now, but I began practicing at the young age of 15. I’ve loved cakes and cake decoration my whole life, making it natural that I start a home cakery for custom cakes. When the pandemic first hit, I declined orders in order to reduce the amount of going out and risk getting exposed to COVID19, but now that the lockdown has mostly been lifted I’ve decided to pick up a few orders again. Here are the recipes and the in-depth video tutorial for this most recent (and super cute) cake that I’ve made!
