Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Interview

MEET RICHARD

from Richardrsquos Cakes

The theme of this issue is 50 shades of cake - lots of lovely different designed cakes in an array of colourswhich is coming later

When most people hear the words 50 shadesthey are of course referring to the best selling book of 2012 We think it is easy to say that the most shared fifty-cake was made by the fantastic Richards Cakes It would only be fitting to have an interview with the man behind the cake

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

ISSUE 6 JANUARY 2013

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

ISSUE 6 JANUARY 2013

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

ISSUE 6 JANUARY 2013

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

ISSUE 6 JANUARY 2013

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

ISSUE 6 JANUARY 2013

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

SpeechesWinners Acceptance

I started The Royal Bakery Facebook page after I made my husband a Fathers Day cake A few of my friends asked me how Id made it so I wrote a very quick and not very good tutorial and published it on my Page Now I create free tutorials as often as I can and occasionally write up something longer and more specialized for my online shop The cakes I make are only for friends at the moment but the California state cottage food law was passed last last year so I am hoping to start a licensed home bakery very soon

I am utterly thrilled to be the recipient of the Personality of the Year Award Im lucky that I dont have a proper job and can devote lots of time to my Facebook Page and the people that hang out with me there It is very humbling to know that people went out of their way to nominate me for the award I cant quite believe they see me as a personality My Page has a theme every day where we have fun share our work pause for thought and stir up some drama

I couldnt do what I do without the support of my husband Neil and my son Will who have learnt that saying whats for dinner isnt always the best idea on a Friday night at 6pm My mummy is my biggest fan and goes to any lengths to send me cake goodies from the UK that I cant buy here I must mention my fave cake girls Peggy Yahaira Isabelle and Joanne who Ive never met but can rely on for top cake talk at any time of the day or night

Thank you so much Cake Masters for rounding of 2012 in such a fabulous way for The Royal Bakery

Lesley Wright The Royal Bakery - Personality Award 2012

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Lou Lou Prsquos Delights - Cake Pop Award 2012

I am a baker going by the name of Miss Insomnia Tulip AKA Lou Lou Prsquos Delights Like many of us my Grandparents were my baking Inspiration both village bakers during the Second World War Learning all the traditional techniques from them as I grew up this has given me a firm grounding on which to base the creative pieces I now create In fact I still use my Grandmothers Mason Cash ceramic bowl that has to be well over seventy years old Indeed it is only recently that I have relented and brought myself a mixer for years I worked exclusively by hand and still do a lot of the time Whilst I have been baking all my life it was only a few years ago my amazing friend Nicolette Wells suggested I shared some of my work on Facebook The reception was incredible and I became part of an online baking community that helped me build my confidence and portfolio of work I have now been baking for little under a year and canrsquot imagine doing anything else for a living I enjoy applying the techniques and disciplines I learned from my fine arts background to my treats especially my trademark cake pops I see each of my pops as their own individual tiny sculpture each with its very own individual personality In fact my portraits of key players in the Leveson Inquiry featured in the Guardian and on Have I Got News For You I am so thrilled that others seem like them too and to win an award for them is both humbling and exhilarating at the same time For me it was never about winning awards so for something to happen so organically makes it even more special to me

There are too many people who deserve a massive thank you and hope they know who they are All my Facebook lsquofansrsquo and customers are of course very important to me and played the pivotal role in driving my business forward Valeri amp Christina from Queen of Hearts they were the first girls I lsquobumpedrsquo into online ndash although we have yet to meet in person they continue to offer support and are always there to offer advice and give me a shove lsquoLove Laura Lanersquo lsquoEmily Made a Wishrsquo and lsquoJenrsquos Just Dessertsrsquo raised my profile by sharing my work in the early days and continue to do so so massive hugs to them Not forgetting lsquoCakeMastersrsquo of course who expose my offerings to thousands who continue to give me the confidence to try new ideas I have to reserve a special Thank You to PR goddess Miss Cakehead and all my lsquoEat Your Heart Outrsquo colleagues there are too many to name check so I hope they donrsquot mind me referring to them en masse Life wasnrsquot brilliant until I bumped into this crowd then things changed dramatically Working with them offers boundless opportunity and is both inspirational and fun Often challenging our work certainly isnrsquot to everyonersquos taste but it definitely gets people talking

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Cakes and Cookies Cupcake Wrappers - Creative Award 2012

Seeing that this is an acceptance speech I cannot help myselfI have to pepper (or ice) it with Academy Award acceptance speechesfor these are the Oscars of the cake world

Firstly you asked about a brief introduction about me and my business I quote Hillary Swank from the 2005 Academy Awards Im just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream I never thought this would ever happen

Okay I never lived in a trailer parkwell I did once after my house washed away in a flood during 1996 but I have always had more than one dream This one I have been pursuing for the past 5 years I started off a business making picture cakes (the ones with edible printed paper) and this evolved into experimental baking lots of flops batter on the ceiling and an absolute hate of bakingwhich turned out to be a false hate I started making cupcake wrappers using exquisite imported paperbut I missed baking I didnt miss ordinary baking I missed the freedom of making a hundred mistakes to come up with a gem So it startedwhy should anyone have to endure what I had to go through when I could write them the tutorial

How do I feel about winning this award WellI quote Sally Field from her 1985 Academy Award acceptance speech I havent had an orthodox career and I wanted more than anything to have your respect The first time I didnt feel it but this time I feel it and I cant deny the fact that you like me - right now you like me It is niceit is more than niceit is very special to me It reminds me that I am not just a girl in a South African outpost messing around with colours and textures and cakes and stuff It means that people all over the world who may be stuck in a position where they cannot express themselves or be creative now have an opportunity to do so without going to the expense I had to I love thatfrom Belgrade to Moscow to London to Los Angeleseveryone can have a Giraffe in their lounge or a garden in their cakeeven if they cannot have a real one

Any people I would like to thank There are plenty of thoseMr Mark Elliot Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook (the platform enabling me to share my ideas with you) Mr Defy for making my oven Mr Bosch for my mixer Mr Golden Cloud for the flour Ms Chicken for the eggs Mr Royal for the baking powdermy mom (Milly) and dad for liking each other enough to have memy Producer (Karel du Toit) My Scientist (Karel du Toit) My Agent (myself) My 25 year old daughter Sarah who started my love of baking Mr Sunshine for my garden (which serves as great inspiration) and my three cats for running away when the mixer explodesand then licking up the residue without complaining

To quote Gwyneth Paltrow I dont feel very deserving of this in your presence Butit is nice

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

ISSUE 6 JANUARY 2013

Carinas Cupcakes was launched in June 2010 and I started my business having never even cut a butterfly or bought a pack of sugarpaste I am completely self taught and now teach the techniques and methods I have taught myself all over the country This year we will also be teaching internationally in Spain and the Netherlands Our online shop provides tutorials equipment and inspiration for hobby and business bakers alike with new and exciting products always being sought When I won the Cupcake award from Cake Masters I was extremely flattered There are some awesome cupcakers out there and its a real honour to have such recognition within the Facebook baking community It really topped my year nicely following our Cake International Gold and best in class Plus the award is totally awesome and has pride of place in my kitchen There are lots of people who have helped me along the way but there is one group of ladies in particular who have seen me through my darkest AND brightest days My Cakey Godmothers This group of 30 odd ladies have provided undying support and in particular id like to thanks Liah of Custom Cupcakes Lisa my Glamorous Assistant at Cupcake Boutique Susan Title and Vicki Murray of Vicki Murray cakes and Pastrys without these ladies i would be nowhere Thank you Cake Masters for being totally fab and giving a little added recognition to the Facebook cake community our environment has its pros and cons but you guys definitely add a little gratitude and happiness to the Cakey World

Carinarsquos Cupcakes - Cupcake Award 2012Goshhellip Itrsquos hard to know where to start in thanking people for my AMAZING award Having only made cakes for my 4 children it was a huge leap for me to set up a business making cakes for others Baking cakes for strangers is daunting enough but to be responsible for someonersquos 6 tier wedding cake as one of my first proper commissions Well I have to admit that I nearly turned it down I am so very glad that I didnrsquot I have to tip my hat to Peggy Porschen because it was definitely her floral style that inspired the design process for me and the bride But in all honesty I couldnrsquot have had such a successful result without the help and patience of my family There were so many flowers to make and I had so little time I hardly slept and I donrsquot think my kids had a proper meal for a month That said they have become well versed at fending for themselves and Charlie (age 10) now makes a mean cheesy pasta Therersquos always an up-side

This has all been extremely new to me My first lsquopaid forrsquo cake was only in May 2012 and the lsquoaward winningrsquo wedding cake was only a couple of months laterhellipso my learning curve has been ridiculously steep Irsquove always been artistic hellipand I definitely have a love for the dramatic and extremehellipso that has all driven me to make cakes that have a bit more lsquoWowrsquo factor For me 2012 was the most AMAZING year - The Queenrsquos Jubilee-The London Olympics - but my Cake Masterrsquos Award was without a doubt the big fat cherry on the icing on the (6 tier)cake Thank you so so much Cake Masters PS Mr Cake-Diva (who is actually called Jamie BTW) has just saidhelliprsquohave you explained to Cake Masters that the lsquoWedding Cakersquo was the second most time consuming thing yoursquove ever done in your life The first being you writing your acceptance speech for your Cake Masters Award (Cheeky sod)

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

North Star Cakes - Novelty Cake Award 2012

I trained as a painter and sculptor and studied fine art and art history at university before working for a private collector and then two of the largest fine art auctioneers in the world based in London Leaving the art world in 2006 to start a family I was a stay at home mum until October 2011 when North Star Cakes began trading I am based in Maidstone Kent and I make bespoke cakes I am often asked to make cakes based on the natural world but I also like to make pretty cakes and I adore making sugar flowers

Having been trading for only 9 months when the snake cake created as much interest as it did I was completely overwhelmed and surprised by the reaction it got I could never have anticipated that anyone outside of my local town would ever hear my name and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride however the interest in the cake has presented so many opportunities that never would have materialised otherwise and for that I will always be very grateful When I won the Cake Masters Novelty Cake Award in December 2012 it was a complete surprise I was obviously delighted to have won and Im very thankfull for all the support Ive had from Rosie and the Cake Masters team in my first year I would like to thank my husband and children for being chief tasters at North Star Cakes and for putting up with my cake obsessed nature questionable taste in music and long working hours I would like thank all the cake community for their support for visiting my page and for leaving comments I have admired so many of you I would also like to say an extra big thank you to Lesley Wright at the Royal Bakery Jacqueline Butler of PetalSweet and Peggy at Peggy Does Cake for kindly sharing their knowledge and supporting me early on thank you to Anabelle Joanna amp Rob at Confection Perfection in Maidstone Kent for their brilliant sugar flower course and well stocked shop not to mention great advice Thank you to Lara at the Kent Family Magazine who believed in me and gave me my first editorial and thank you to my friends and design team Ramona amp Eugen Hanusch who were prepared to work in exchange for cake when I first started and lastly a special thank you to my cake idols Peggy Porschen and Duff Goldman for inspiring

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Cake News

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

Cake News

So we all got snowed in this month and boy did the UK look pretty It was nice for a few days but then the snow didnrsquot go away I hope you all managed to stay safe and that the snow wasnrsquot too disruptive to your daily routines

On our travels online during the snowy season we came across these awesome snow cakes and had to share them with you

Snow Cakesyescake made from snow

Share your news with usmagazinecakemasterscouk

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes

Love the fancy ice heart in the background and the little snowball decorations down the sides of the tiers

We loved this three tier cake from Levirsquos Cakes This cake was made by Levi and her 4 year old daughter Fraya (pictured) - how pretty

Gorgeous snow cake from Lynda-Jane Sharp We at Cake Masters wondered if a smoother was used- look at those flat sides Great 5 tier cake finished with ribbon

Fabulously deep three tier cake made by Sugar Mummy Cupcakes
