Canberra Cake Boutique 3.48

6 years ago on 21st January 2011 I delivered my first wedding cake to a family friend as a wedding gift. It took another 3 years of playing and making cakes for my children, work colleagues and friends before I decided to start my own cake decorating business. In 2014 I registered my business as 'Konditor Perfection', of German heritage it is a name my lovely mother suggested and I loved it. 'Konditor' meaning 'confectioner', which is still branded on my little delivery van. At that stage I focused mainly on birthday cakes, making only one or two cakes a month whilst working full time in the public service (in financial compliance and quality management!).
It wasnt too bad for a first wedding cake, i dont think i even knew how to ganache back then and certainly didnt know how to correctly layer the cakes or use structural support when stacking. I have come a very long way since then, learnt valuable lessons, made a huge amount of mistakes, read dozens of books, watched hundreds of tutorials and attended many many decorating courses. I absolutely love being challenged and am always super keen to learning new skills and techniques.
