Feelings & Frosting
A blog about all things caking, motherhood & mental health, and that embraces all aspects of life - the highs and the lows, the sweet and the bitter, the frosting on the surface and the fillings deep inside.
While it would be a rare occasion for me to pass up cake, when I talk about finding healing and joy in cake, I don’t mean the eating of (although cake is an excellent stress/depress food)! For me, it’s in the creation of the cake – it’s not just about making a sweet treat, but it’s a way to find com...
I’m going to pick up where we left off in my last blog post, so if you haven’t already read it, you can catch up HERE!

Now, as I’ve said, becoming a LEGAL home-baker may not be as hard as you think it is! And if you’ve got a dream to have your own home-baking business and make some income from d...
During the Covid years, it seemed like almost everyone started taking up some form of baking as a hobby (or maybe a coping mechanism?). Whether it was sourdough, cookies, or cake, baking became a creative outlet, a stress-reliever, not to mention a time-filler for all that time at home/in isolation!...
It’s going to be a week of celebrations for me! Firstly, it’s my birthday on Thursday, and then on Sunday, it’s the 5th birthday/anniversary of my cake biz! I’m actually in shock that I’ve been in business for so long, and I know it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family, and m...
Happy New Year everyone! Can you believe we’re in 2025? I don’t know about you, but I’m still recovering from December 2024!
Â
After 3 weeks of having the kids at home (with a fair bit of rain in that time!), they are finally back at care today, so I'm able to go back to working on the business! I...
As we head into the New Year, I suppose it’s only fitting that today’s post be a reflection on the year that’s been, along with my hopes and dreams for the year ahead. So, 2024…what can I say? Well, it has simultaneously been the best AND the worst year of my life.

There’s absolutely no questi...
Let's be honest, we've all been there - leaving the gift shopping till the last minute, or worse, realising at the last minute that you've forgotten to add someone to the gift list! And as you're rushing around trying to fix it, you tell yourself that you're going to be more organised next time! And...
Most of us have grown up in an era where there is a stigma on body image and consuming carbohydrates, fats, and calories. It’s led to the impression that sugar, and therefore treats/desserts are “bad” or something that needs to be earned (e.g. once you finish all your veggies, or if you’ve had a bad...
Christmas is the perfect time to get creative in the kitchen, and what better way to celebrate than with beautifully decorated desserts? Whether you're baking for a holiday party, gifting to loved ones, or simply enjoying the festive spirit (and trying to keep the kids entertained while you’re at it...
I’m still trying to process most of this year so I’m struggling to accept that it’s already November! But the reality is that it is, and this means we’re heading into the silly season! The world we live in today is already so fast-paced and often high-pressure, but I feel this time of year just exac...

After a long absence, I'm back with what will be a raw and vulnerable piece on the last few months and the changes that have happened from and since then. If you weren't already aware, the reason for my abse...
Motherhood is hard. I’m now a mum of 3 and despite having been a mum for 5 years, I can assure you it doesn’t really get much easier; it just changes.
Â
I think one of the most difficult things about motherhood is the isolation.

We are all driven by this urge to be the best mums that we can ...
