Absolutely buzzing Monday night seen the @twia_official regional finals come to Scotland for the first time and what a night it was!!!To have been named as one of the finalists in the cake designer category is, as I always say, a win in itself. These prestigious awards are client only nominated so to have reached the final really is everything that I dreamed off.The cake category was full of incredibly talented people, many of them my closest Industry friends. The ones I turn to when things donβt quite to plan, who listen to me moan, who are always there to support me. So I was completely blown away to be awarded with a Regional Highly Commended award on the night, after being judged by my fellow industry professionals.For those who know me will tell you how much of a champion I am for everyone and that I donβt see any cake maker as my competition. I honestly never expected to go on and win any award on the night. Just to be in that room as Iβve said before really is the biggest win. To know that your couples have loved the service; journey of working with you and of course their cake, is the absolute dream and will always be my main focus.I am truly honoured to have been awarded a Regional Highly Commended award by the @twia_official judging panels. Thank you so much. I really am feeling very grateful πππ

THAT GIRL SINCE 93β¦β¦β¦..I donβt normally showcase any celebration cakes on my grid as Iβm so busy with weddings but this cake was for a very special lady celebrating her 30th this weekend.Iβve worked alongside Jordan for a couple of years now and sheβs recommended me to many of her couples who are getting married, so I was really delighted when she asked if I could make her this huge Biscoff filled heart cake for her special birthday.We kept everything in classic whites, taupes and gold tones to tie in with the venue decor and finished with some black acrylic lettering from @burntisland_occasions. Happy 30th birthday Jordan, thank you so much for asking me to make your cake π₯β€οΈπ₯
