Hi! My name's Janelle and despite growing up helping my grandmother and mother to make cakes, lamingtons and other wonderfully CWA-type treats, I fell into making bespoke wedding cakes completely by accident. I worked for a law firm in London many years ago and we had an in-house baking competition, which I won. Everyone loved the flourless chocolate mud cupcakes I made for the event and they then started asking me to make things for them! I found I had a love for the creative side of the process – playing with recipes and flavours and, of course, the decorating side of things is great fun. After a lovely amount of encouragement and support from dear friends and family, and many years of practice and experience, I have returned home to Perth and turned my wonderful hobby into a beautiful little business that I run from my registered, insured and inspected home cake studio in Mount Lawley.

One of my favourite things about running my own cake business is that I get to plot and plan with my gorgeous little nieces about what cakes they would like for their own birthdays as well as getting them to choose cakes for other family members too. I am looking forward to the years to come as they grow older and come up with more and more challenging designs for me to produce for them!

Another wonderful part of the business is getting to meet all sorts of lovely people who are planning their weddings and parties. Being involved in such special occasions is very heart-warming and I particularly love the thought of playing a small, but delicious, part in so many happy days. I also love getting to see great 'cake face' when people first take a bite of one of my yummy cakes at a tasting/design consultation!

I love a challenge and adore creating beautiful, edible works of art for all of my clients xx
