Van Goh Cakes My cakes are made with inspiration from clients and love - here to provide an edible confection that celebrates you for any occasion

By stroke of luck, cake decorating found me - I enjoyed the process of baking cakes when I was young but never took it further in terms of decorating them. A dear friend casually asked me to make her wedding cake a couple of years ago, and I freaked out. I had no idea how to decorate a cake, and set the silly idea aside. Few months after, I was introduced to Buddy from Cake Boss by my boss at work

. As I watched episode after episode, I was hooked more and more. The idea of cake decorating intrigued me, so I took the plunge and signed up for a Wilton course in 2013. Since then, the art of cake decorating drew me in, I bought more books, tools and ingredients, wanting to create more. My creative juices flowed with the endless possibilities I could make with buttercream, with later introduction to ganache and fondant. Friends and family suggested I should consider selling cakes professionally, and after enrolling a course with Louise Vansleve on Start Your Cake Business, Van Goh Cakes was born in August 2013. I picked Van Goh Cakes because of how my name Vincent Goh often rhymes with the great Van Gogh, and quoting a friend, "every mouthful is a work of art”. I did not make my friend's cake because it was too risky to bring a wedding cake all the way to Hong Kong, but I am blessed to have made some amazing cakes so far. I hope to gain more skills, and hopefully open my own cake studio one day."

Congratulations to Brooke and Chris on your big day, but most of all, thank you for having me be part of your special day! Work commitments have not allowed me to take on many cakes these days, and I'm pleased I was disciplined enough to create a wedding masterpiece for you.

Everyone had a share of chocolate cake, red velvet, and white chocolate mud cake, so glad that I had great feedback which fills my heart. Thank you to for your help in setting up!

Happy 4th birthday C! Glad you enjoyed Chase and eating him - chocolate cake, I mean 🥰

So grateful to catch up with a friend and her kids that last month, and I wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to create Chase in cake for his birthday. I was restrained in keeping the size of the cake small, and was happy to scale it down for a small affair between us friends! I look forward to them moving to Melbourne next year, where more celebrations require cake!

Last year, I had a special request for Wendy's 60th - a designer bag, in cake of course!
I forgot how much fun it is to create texture, embossing, piping the stitching, and going into every nook and cranny to make sure it looks just like the bag she has. I hope Wendy loved it, and thank you Allison for approaching me for the cake!

Here are some of the beautiful creations at the show. If I hadn't attended the ceremony, I don't think I would've known the faces behind the entries as they weren't showcased at the displays. Congratulations to the winners, especially Cleopatra Cakes for winning the best in the show! You are a great inspiration and it inspires me to be better every time!

I entered another wedding cake design at the Cake Bake & Sweets Show this year, and went for the "something old, something new; something borrowed, something blue" saying to come out with this rather modern slash vintage, Victorian style of a wedding cake. A lot more royal icing work, with piping that I always enjoy whenever I have the chance. Also - no flowers on my cake, a first for me, as I ran out of time. Full time work really limits the time I can devote to competitions!

Sadly my cake didn't place, but I find comfort and assurance in those who have complimented and how Bridgerton-esque it looks when they saw my cake as I was wheeling it to the show and after.

Hope everyone had great celebrations for Christmas and New Year. I have been busy entertaining friends as I usually do, and this year, I also had a birthday cake to send off to celebrate Mark's birthday! This was a vanilla and lemon offering, filling the cake with lemon syrup and lemon curd to feed fifty. The party setting was amazing and I wished I took a picture of it. Very happy to report Mark loved it and so did the guests. Thank you again, and let us hope for a better and safe 2024!

Thank you so much for sharing the love and admiration for the superstar princess! She loved every moment of her birthday over burgers and chips, and she even skipped frozen yogurt to enjoy my cake! Speechless, humbled, and touched. Thank you little A! 👊

My little friend, Alexis turns four. And finally, after ten years of avoiding the movie franchise, I finally made a Frozen themed cake! She changed her mind during the year and wanted Moana as well on the cake, but I guess her mum and I convinced her otherwise. Buttercream cakes are so delicious but often a challenge in warmer weather, and this was no exception. I stacked the cake at her house, but only after she gave her rendition of "Let It Go" in her blue dress did I add the top tier with the isomalt castle and Elsa perched on top.

This isn't my usual style of adding toys on cakes, but given how detailed toys are these days, it is really helpful and adds more interest to the cake. She loved the cake, because of the luscious buttercream, and ate little of the cake 🥲 I guess it's a win!

Tomorrow, I'll be celebrating my little friend's birthday. I've made her cakes since she was born, and I was given an opportunity to make it again this year. Take a guess what the theme will be?

For now, I'd share what I thought was an awesome cake 2 years ago, which survived somehow a scorching summer picnic party that took a cooler change halfway through, and we ended up celebrating indoors instead! Yes she developed a love for buttercream, and it has been a requirement for her birthday cakes since!

Who knew Peppa Pig would be so much fun, especially when I don't have to make the toys from fondant?

The best part of making birthday cakes for children is when they love interacting with the cake, and that's what makes this business so gratifying. So happy little Rachel loved her cake, and the surprise inside!
