I had the huge honour of making this birthday cake for a very special lady. Her kindness and dedication as a nurse is unmatched and when I came to work at Cancer Care, she helped me learn the role enormously. No one deserves a better celebration. This was 3 layers of chocolate cake, salted caramel and cream cheese filling finished with blue and purple butterflies

Happy Birthday Alison. 🎂

What a lovely morning teaching the beautiful .naturally.with.vera how to make gnocchi. We made three types: pumpkin, ricotta and a traditional potato gnocchi, all in 90 minutes. Of course, we had to do some quality control to be sure, so we also made a butter sage sauce for the pumpkin gnocchi and traditional tomato and meatball with the ricotta gnocchi for lunch. I am so impressed with how quickly my student picked up the technique and I think my mum made a new friend today. Enjoy the take home gnocchi with your family Vera!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to mention that I have recently registered with Mable as an Independent Support Worker and I am now available to offer social support in the St George and Sutherland Shire.

As many of you know, I have spent the past 34 years working for medical and legal specialists. After leaving my last job to look after mum post-surgery, I decided to take time off this year to explore my options and work out where to next. I have cared for my parents for many years as well as offered respite in the past for dear friends. This lead to me exploring and considering doing this as a profession as I have incredible patience, kindness, empathy and organisational skills all qualities needed to ensure my clients receive stellar attention and exceptional service.

If you know of anyone needing assistance they can find me by searching under my full name on the Mable Website. www.mable.com.au

You do need to have a log in first.

Looking forward to continuing to be of support in my community and be of sevice in a new way!

Principessa Farina will also still be here to take orders for treats and offer workshops!!
