People often ask where the inspiration for my floral cupcake bouquets comes from… welcome to my happy place. 🌸
My garden. ❤️
This little patch of colour is my happy place.
Whether it’s the perfect layers of a dahlia, the soft blush of a hydrangea, the vibrant stripes on a petunia or the elegance of a lily, I’m constantly taking it all in. Every flower teaches me something about colour, shape, texture and reminds me that nature never creates two blooms exactly the same.
It’s probably no surprise that when I sit down with a piping bag, those flowers find their way onto my cupcakes.
But it’s not just flowers that I grow. My greenhouse is full of tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs, and tucked amongst the borders are edible flowers that often make their way onto my salads, grazing tables and signature canapés. I love stepping into the garden and picking the finishing touches just before a delivery or event.
I owe my love of both cooking and gardening to my wonderful mum and dad. I was incredibly lucky to grow up with a huge garden that was always full of beautiful flowers, fruit and home-grown vegetables, lovingly grown by them and so often picked fresh for our family table. Those are some of my happiest childhood memories, and looking back, I can see just how much they shaped the person I am today. Mum and Dad gave me a love of growing, cooking and creating from scratch, and I feel incredibly lucky that I get to bring all of those things together every single day in my business.
Gardening and cooking have so much in common. Both take patience, care, creativity and a lot of love. From growing ingredients to piping buttercream petals, there’s something incredibly satisfying about creating something beautiful from nature’s inspiration.
My garden fills my cup, sparks my creativity and reminds me every day why I love what I do. At the moment it’s absolutely bursting with hydrangeas and dahlias – two of my favourite flowers to recreate in buttercream. Every bouquet I pipe and every dish I create carries a little inspiration from the garden I grew up in and the one I’m so proud to nurture today.
So whether you’re enjoying one of my floral cupcake bouquets, a fresh summer salad or one of my canapés decorated with edible flowers, there’s every chance a little piece of my garden has found its way onto your table.
For the love of food… and flowers. 🌸🧁🥗
