A dear friend of mine celebrated her 40th birthday with a lovely intimate dinner with her family and closest friends. It was a great opportunity to try my hand at gilding a cake in silver leaf, a technique I’ve long admired but never actually performed myself.
Luckily my friend Jo loved the idea and thus this cake was created, just for her.

A couple of years ago my journey in sugar took a sharp turn into the next level up. I enrolled in a course being run by Sydney’s Planet Cake – being run in Melbourne by the amazing Fran McGregor and Handi Mulyana. I’d always dreamed of doing this course and when it was being held in Melbourne I literally squealed with delight and enrolled straight away.
