🎂Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mother in law 🎂

I think this is probably the best cake I have ever created. My MIL loves wine, pukekos and hoards toilet paper 🧻 😂

So this combination was perfect.

*Still not taking on more orders at this stage, but had to share this beauty

💖 The journey of life is an interesting one… You decide right I’m going to do this and go in this direction but the universe opens doors and opportunities in the opposite direction 🔮

This quote has some impact on my upcoming business change.

“You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you give”

I have recently started a new job in the community sector and I am absolutely loving it. I have always been someone who gives to others, wants to help and bring people together.

I’ve made the decision to go back to how I used to enjoy baking and cooking, for things like fundraisers, bake sales, the community and family rather than preforming under pressure and on demand. Sometimes you decide to turn a hobby into a business and it makes it not fun anymore.

The rest of 2023 is very busy for me and unfortunately my business is not a priority for me at the moment so I am stepping back and taking a break. Will definitely be until the new year and I’m not sure what 2024 will bring. Maybe I’ll come back, maybe I’ll just share food ideas on this page. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

I won’t be accepting any future orders at this stage. All current bookings will be honoured of course.

I want to see where my community heart leads me. I’m happy to bring joy to more people through food without the financial gain.

✨REAL BRIDES ✨Congratulations to That's What Cheese Said NZ and her new wife! Not only do you both look absolutely stunning in your gowns, but you look like you had an absolute blast! 🤩

“The service was brilliant. We had a joint initial consultation and then afterwards we kept separate and the staff were so accommodating keeping us apart and not sharing what was happening in each room. The communication was perfect.”

👰🏼🏳️‍🌈👰🏼 We are MARRIED 👰🏼🏳️‍🌈👰🏼

We had the most incredible day! Flawless, 20 out of 10!!

We have some fantastic vendors in our wedding community and I highly recommend all of them!!

Thank you’s part 2!

created a stunning colour matching balloon photo wall, balloons for the dance floor and our mirrored welcome sign. This was loved by used by our guests so much. Thank you so much. You are very talented at your balloon art

Laura is such a beautiful soul and free flow ice cream suited our casual fun vibe! The cart is so adorable! Best Idea, guests loved it!

Bouncy Castle From If you are considering a bouncy castle you must do it!! It was worth it 10000%! Enjoyed by so many adults. Set up in time and pulled down in time without us even noticing. This was certainly a highlight

Outdoor Games - We worked with the Cheshire Cat Company and had a awesome selection of 9 outdoor games. Excellent communication, discreet set up and pack down. The guests loved having activities to engage in. Buzz Wire was the most popular and most frustrating! Highly recommend having activities for your guests!

Kim from is a superstar! Patient, fun, chill, chatty. She listens to your ideas and photos and makes sure you are 100% happy with the outcome. Powered through 2x Brides, 2x MOB, 3 Bridesmaids.

Charlotte from was so sweet. Did a beautiful job on 1x Bride, 1x MOB & 3x Bridesmaids
dj is the best in the business!! What a night! I danced all night long with blisters to prove it! Perfect sound system, help with a custom remix song. We booked for the full day service. Highly recommend! Amazing service

Thank you’s part 1!

Our Venue was absolutely stunning. Sarah the manager was so welcoming, so chill, very accommodating. The set up staff followed my instructions and photos to a T! Everything was perfect. On the night the bar staff were joining in with our dancing & photo bombing! Chatting with us and having a blast. The service was impeccable.

were our caterer and the food was delicious! Every guest complimented the taste and variety. We had designed our own menu of 3 themed food stations, American BBQ, Italian, Asian. They even went to extra effort theming the tables with decorations. The flavours were divine. So so happy. The presentation was on point!

Dresses - We purchased our dresses from and the service was brilliant. We had a joint initial consultation and then afterwards we kept separate and the staff were so accommodating keeping us apart and not sharing what was happening in each room. The communication was perfect.

Megan from the Gentlemans Tailoress in Methven is an angel in disguise! We started with alterations and then in a panic I wanted to alter my dress by adding the rainbow fabric underneath. Nothing was a hassle for Megan, she did a fantastic job on the alterations, especially the rainbow it looks like it was built in. Megan is a gem! 100/10 highly recommend.

was our wonderful photographer. We had Karl & Hannah. Absolutely brilliant. They fit in the background so well and the preview photos we have received are exceptional! Can’t wait to see the full portfolio
