Since I started my business, I’ve noticed a gradual move from the much-favoured semi-naked cake back to more structured fondant creations, which lend themselves beautifully to sculpting, hand-painting, creating an abundance of textures and more. I love the versatility of the medium and it enables me to produce something uniquely individual for my couples.

The buttercream vs. fondant debate will always be contentious amongst cake artists with each preferring to work with one or the other and, whilst I do like a buttercream cake, fondant is where my creativity goes into full flow! If taste is an issue then trust me when I say that the quality of fondant has moved on a lot since those birthday cakes of our childhoods with their inch-thick wedge of sickly sweet icing!
