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.
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...
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...
When I first started cake decorating, I was horrified to discover that I needed like half a bottle of Queens liquid food colouring to colour my buttercream red - and that was even using their super red blend! And it was the same for any bright/dark colour for that matter!

Not only would you end ...
Â
Has this ever happened to you?Â
Â
You’ve taken a batch of beautifully baked cupcakes out of the oven, left them to cool, then come back only to find that the liners have peeled away and left your treats looking less than perfect! Talk about disappointing!Â
Â
But don’t worry! I’m here to sha...
“I can’t seem to get really smooth buttercream!”
Â
This is one of the most common problems that people tell me they struggle with when it comes to cake decorating! Meanwhile, I’m proud to say that one of the things I’m known for IS my silky smooth and delicious buttercream! And the best thin...
In a (somewhat) recent Instagram Live Q&A that I did, some of the questions asked were about baking with kids. I had such positive responses from my answers so I thought I’d do a little blog post about it in the hopes that it will help encourage more parents to start baking with their kids!
Â
What...
One question I get asked A LOT is “How do you make cupcake decorating look so easy?”, and by this, they mean piping the buttercream.
Â
Sure, it might look effortless in the reels I put up, but I can assure you that it wasn’t always this way! Just like most of you, I too used to struggle with pipin...
