Messy Bakes, Epic Tastes! 💫🍪
Life is short, so make it sweet 🌈 ✨

My “why” for baking?! 👩‍🍳 It’s my… EVERYTHING.

It’s the magic of that one birthday cake book from when I was a kid. It’s Ouma’s cookies. It’s the family recipe book that’s now in everyone’s kitchen. 📖

It’s how I connect with my mom miles apart (we live on recipe photos! 📲). It’s morning biscotti with Mike. It’s making friends and kiddies personalized cakes just to see them smile. 🥹

And honestly? It’s bringing so much more colour 🌈 and a whole lot of ✨FUN✨ into my everyday. My mission: to step away from the spreadsheets and find real ways to connect and spread that joy.
Because let’s be real… Sugar just makes the world a happier place.✨ by @su_whittaker

Multiple bento cakes 🍰
One midwife text📱
And a very focused baker👩‍🍳🌈

I went into total creative focus mode to get these delivered! It was a little chaotic, creative, but so much fun. Topping it off with a literal crack - letting the mama-to-be break the egg on top for the final touch. 🥚✨ Loved it ✨

🎂 - Chocolate cake layered with pistachio cream & covered in cream cheese icing.

Desserts has this magical way of pulling people in. It’s honestly my favourite thing - creating something special for someone I care about.

🎂2024🎂 The year I baked my own bday cake for the first time 🎉

I’m a big fan of celebrating small wins, especially when moving to a new continent is not exactly a walk in the park. But looking back it’s been one epic adventure and honestly wish it would slow down just a bit. 🌏

Almost a year in 🇳🇱 and I miss everyone back home like crazy but I’m super grateful for what this year has brought us 🫶🏻

🍻. Met some ridiculously cool friends
✈️. Travelled a lot
🌋. Experienced a volcano erupting
🏃‍♀️. Took up a little bit of running
