Thought it was about time I said something on here...

I have recently decided that this wedding season (through to May 2023) will be my last as a full-time cake designer. It's been an incredible 8 years running PLD - so many wonderful clients, so many beautiful cakes, and the privilege of working alongside some of the most incredible people. I have absolutely loved it, but I am very ready and excited to move on to the next chapter.

I still hope to continue with a super limited number of wedding cakes next season, but without knowing 100% what the future holds for my career, I feel it wouldn't be fair to commit to bookings at this stage. I should know more by June/July 2023 and will update things then.

If you are getting married this season, please be assured that I am 100% committed to fulfilling all current orders and seeing this season through.

It's going to be a bit of a tricky transition period, thats for sure, but I'm really excited for a new challenge and the positive impact that I'm sure this will have for my family.

A few fondant cakes seem to be creeping back in to my orders and I'm not mad about it... especially when they are this cute!

A tribute.....

To my beautiful friend Toni, who after 22 years of creating floral magic is off to start a new chapter....

What an epic journey it's been and words cannot express the gratitude I feel for having been a small part of it.

Back in 2015, I was looking to make PLD my full time gig and I contacted Toni to dress a few cakes with florals to shoot for website images. We'd met a couple of times and although I didn't know her well personally, I knew her work and I was in absolute awe of her talent!

The day of the shoot arrives and in walks this QUEEN with buckets and buckets of floral goodies and a baby in tow, and she went to WORK!! I was gobsmacked by this woman! She went way above and beyond! Not only did she pull off the looks I had in mind, she continued to pull apart and re-dress each cake for another look, and another look (while baby wearing and breastfeeding!!), giving me an incredible portfolio to start my business. This I now know is absolutely typical of Toni's incredible work ethic, kindness and generosity. We bonded over the working from home mum life, and of course a shared love of cake and flowers and the rest is history!

Toni, I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me over the years. I have learned so much from you and greatly appreciate all of the advice, wisdom and knowledge you have shared. You always inspire me to continue to grow, to keep evolving and keep pushing those boundaries. I am going to miss working with you so very very much! I am so proud of you for all that you have achieved in your career and for creating your new path that aligns with your family life.

Swipe for a look back at some of my favourite designs we have collaborated on over the years

I look forward to continuing the MH/PLD legacy with Sharni .hill.flora as she steps in to take the reins.

We expect a heck of a lot from a wedding cake...

I can't think of any other item of food that is expected to be on display for 6 hours + and still look as good at 8pm as it did at 2pm.

Here are my tips to ensure your cake lasts the distance...

1. Choose your cake designer wisely! While Wendy from accounts makes an epic sponge cake with fresh cream for the office morning tea shout, this will not translate well to a 3 tiered wedding cake.
A wedding cake is a whole other ball game!
There is a lot that goes into ensuring a cake is structurally sound. A professional cake designer who specialises in wedding cakes will have the right recipes, tools, techniques and expertise to ensure the cake holds up.

2. Location, location, location! It is so important to take the positioning of the wedding cake into consideration when organising your floor plan...
- Make sure your cake table is situated in a well shaded spot, out of the elements. I cannot re-iterate this enough - your cake should NEVER EVER EVER be placed in direct sunlight.
- Make sure the cake table is level! Hopefully this one is self explanatory...?
- Allow plenty of space around the table. No one wants Aunt Shirley to bump the cake with her elbow as she squeezes by, she would feel terrible!

3. All elements on the cake should be fit to last the distance, including flowers. If you're using fresh flowers, make sure they are in excellent condition. If they are already starting to flop, they won't be getting any better once they are on the cake! Unlike most floral centrepieces, cake flowers will be out of water for the duration of the event so it's important to choose flowers and foliage that hold up super well out of water.
