My Tale to Date

Butter and Cream is always better than milk and margarine.
I want to take something simple to another level.
The end of a partnership brought an end to Cake & Candy Dandy. Deeper self understanding, and in retrospect, brought new insights into what gets me out of bed, what I love to do & do well, giving birth to “Butter and Cream”.
Covid-19 created havoc on the wedding industry but gave me the opportunity to spend hours refining and learning new skills. We’ve “rolled” with the punches, lockdowns and loadshedding.
I learnt to make sugar flowers & decoration without a glass of wine for months on end and discovered a love for all things wafer paper.
I love decorating cakes & making decorations.
While baking is not my first love, over almost 25 years of baking the family birthday cakes I have learnt the skills, tips and techniques to be a competent baker.
I have used the lull in wedding seasons to enter international cake competitions and I am very proud of how my cakes were received by the judges. 2020, I entered Crystal Candy’s Cake Champions competition – 1 tier wonder category and placed 3rd. In 2021, I again entered Cake Champions but in the wedding cake category, I received one of two silver awards.
I also entered Bybora’s Cake Star competition – Crazy cakes category, I progressed to the finals as South Africa’s entrant.
This surprises most people who know me as I am my own harshest critic. I repainted the green tier of my Christmas cake 3 times until I was almost happy. The gold bow has 4 shades of gold…. It might not look like it in the photo, but if you see the bow in the right light, it looks alive!
There are ways to save on costs and to add value to the purchase of a cake, to find out go through to the article on the website or book design consultation with me.
I’d love to assist you with a cake that takes your breath away!
