PLEASE NOTE: I WILL NO LONGER BE DECORATING WEDDING CAKES FROM 31ST MARCH 2012.

MY CAKE DECORATING BACKGROUND

My name is Audrey and I want to share a little about myself. I began making wedding cakes and special occasion cakes in 1986.

Prior to that, I began decorating birthday cakes for each of my children. I have three children, now grown up. Each year it was always a surprise with what I would come up with. Now it is the grand children who get the surprise birthday cakes. Friends would ask for novelty birthday cakes, so it was then I decided I wanted to do it as a hobby.

As I enjoyed it immensely, I decided to go to Cake Decorating Classes, where, in those days it was all nozzle work. As the years went by, cake decorating changed. Introduction of moulded flowers arrived and again I went to classes to further my knowledge. By this time I was hooked.

Each new cake, whether it be a wedding, birthday, novelty, or special occasion, is a challenge and I enjoy putting my personal touches, along with clients wishes.So, whether you are looking for an elaborate multi tiered wedding cake, a small celebration cake for a family gathering or a special occasion, I offer a professional and friendly service from design to delivery.

CAKE DECORATING GUILD

I belong to the Cake Decorating Guild in New Zealand and each year I attend the Conferences held in November. I also belong to The Central Otago Cake Decorating Club

YOUR WEDDING CAKE

With so many things to plan and organise for your wedding, it can be easy to overlook the importance of your wedding cake. The cake is not only a symbol of your marriage but it also provides a very important focal point at your reception.

I design and create all styles of cake- classic, contemporary, traditional, beautiful, fun, bright and funky. Some are encased with chocolate, others finished with exquisite handcrafted sugar flowers. The choice is ultimately yours. You may want your cake to be simple and sophisticated or brightly coloured and vivacious. My only wish is to work with you to create your dream.

Have a look at the wedding cakes I have designed and created for others and imagine what I could create for you. Plan ahead. Ideally orders should be placed at least 6 months before your wedding. Rich fruit cakes need time to mature. Short notice requests can sometimes be accommodated.

CAKE REQUIREMENTS

I am happy to discuss your requirements, advise you on your choice of flavour, size and theme and incorporate your ideas so that the cake is individually designed to your own specification. My rich fruitcakes are made using my own exclusive recipe with only the finest quality ingredients. If you’d rather not go for the traditional fruitcake, most designs can be made in other types of cakes such as vanilla or lemon , chocolate, coffee or carrot cake. If you have a favourite flavour, just let me know and I will do my best to incorporate it for you.

AREA SERVICED

I live in Alexandra, Central Otago and now offer my services only to Cromwell, Clyde and Alexandra and the surrounding districts. From 2012 I will no longer be delivering or organising wedding cakes to Queenstown and Wanaka. I have even transported a couple of elaborate wedding cakes to Australia but that was some marathon.

I hope you enjoy this website and that you find it inspirational in forming ideas and making decisions.
