MY CREATIVE JOUrNEY
From Canvas To Cake
Hi, I'm Michelle
My journey into the world of cake design began with my love for both art and cooking. At 19, I participated in my first art exhibition—a collaboration with my extended family of artists—which deepened my passion for artistic creativity. This love for creative expression naturally transitioned into the culinary world, where I pursued formal training in cooking and baking. With my culinary qualifications, my passion quickly evolved into a career that blends the precision of baking with the artistry of design. Every cake I create feels like a canvas, with each detail thoughtfully crafted with love and intention.
As a wife and mother, I know how significant life's milestones are. That's why I feel incredibly privileged to be part of your special day, turning your wedding cake into a stunning centrepiece that tells your unique love story.
Whether it's the flavours that make you smile or the design that reflects your style, I work closely with you to create a cake that's truly yours.
I’m an artist at heart, and my cakes are where my love for culinary and artistic expression come together. I pour my heart into every detail to ensure your cake is not only visually stunning but also a delight for the taste buds. Every cake is a canvas, with each detail crafted with passion and dedication.

"Infusing Artistic Inspiration into Every Cake Design"
I’m inspired by all kinds of creatives—photographers, florists, fashion designers, and artists. With a real love for the arts, I’m always drawn to texture, balance, and those little details that make a difference. Those things really shape how I design cakes.
For me, making a wedding cake is about more than just appearance—it’s about creating something that fits the couple’s style and story. Every cake reflects who they are, combining design and flavour in a way that feels true to them.
Baking is where creativity meets care, turning ingredients into memorable moments.
With a background as a chef trained in the culinary arts, I like to bring a genuine love for the process to every wedding cake I make. using high-quality ingredients sourced right here in New Zealand, combining them to make something both beautiful and delicious.
For me, baking a wedding cake isn’t just about following a recipe—it’s about creativity, care, and putting heart into every layer, whether it’s a rich chocolate ganache, silky caramel, toasted hazelnut praline, or something fresh and seasonal.
"Embracing the Simple Pleasures of Life"
When I’m not in the kitchen creating wedding cakes, I’m usually enjoying the simple things—getting outside in the Bay Of Plenty with my husband and kids, listening to music, or sharing a glass of wine with family and friends. I play hockey with my team, which is such a great way to switch off and recharge—and lately, I’ve also found a new love for Pilates.
Spending time in nature, hiking through the bush—really clears my head and often sparks new ideas for cake designs. Music is always in the background too, helping set the mood whether I’m baking or just unwinding. And my love of art continues to influence everything I do, from the colours I choose to the fine details in each cake.
MY PHILOSOPHY
''I see each cake as a canvas, where elegance meets emotion, and artistry meets flavour. Clean lines, refined textures, and modern romantic touches are at the heart of my aesthetic''
Above all, I believe in giving my very best. Every cake I make is a reflection of that promise. I pour myself into each creation with the hope that it brings joy, wonder, and a sense of celebration. I will always give my heart, my hands, and my full creative energy—because I truly care. I care about the people I’m creating for, the memories they’re making, and the meaning behind each moment.
"To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
— Pablo Picasso
"No two cake stories are the same. Yours will be crafted with care to reflect your unique journey, sharing a tale as beautiful as the love it celebrates.''
