Little Cake Girl

20/07/2026

I only really learnt my baking foundations about 3 years into my baking business. (gasp)

Before that, I had brokered cakes for about 2 years, then I started baking after taking a short course. And while that gave me a starting point, there were still so many gaps.

I didn’t fully know how to organize my work, how to manage the process calmly, how to talk to clients with confidence, or how to create in a way that was sustainable.

And it cost me SO MUCH peace of mind.

A lot of the stress beginner bakers carry is not because they are not talented. It is because they are trying to build on shaky foundations.

That is why we created The Baker Starter Course by Incubake at LCG Studio.

It is a practical 20-hour course for aspiring bakers who want to learn how to bake, decorate, price, package and start taking simple cake orders with more confidence.

And because Incubake is an incubator for bakers, students do not just learn and leave. They also get the LCG Recipe & Guide Book and can access supervised studio support after the course when real cake orders begin.

First 10 seats are available at the early bird rate.

The brief: "the boys want a Black Hole and planets"

Ever wondered what my design process is? I'll tell you.

First, I look up the core theme, in this case 'Black Hole' to see what it is and what it looks like in real life.

Then, I'll scour Pinterest to see how this theme has been executed before: paying keen attention to creators with a similar design style to mine.

Next, I consult with my context consultant, my home library, and genius husband mark_oneguy who sheds light on any nuances I could pay attention to.

Then I create a mental sketch with the focal point, colour ranges, and overall vibe/feeling of the cake.

This conception takes anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on whether the concept is new or familiar to me.

This falls under our signature collection at kshs 9000 per kilo. The link to order yours in in our bio.

One thing I've learned in the 16 years of doing this craft is this: you need to have a personal (cake design) style.

If I replicated every design sent to me by my clients, then I would never prioritise the development of a visual style that can be recognised even without branding on the box.

I have had so many people send in pics of LCG cakes asking "is this you?" and I blush hard knowing we have crossed that chasm from copying into creativity.

Clients should buy from you because they are drawn to your style; not just because you can replicate a sample/inspiration picture.

For most of us, we start off copying and then develop courage to design from the heart. I pray you find that spark of courage today.

I had an extensive conversation with Shawry for cakes during our 1:1 masterclass and she left feeling very confident about her personal cake style direction.

This cake captures my mood so perfectly these days.

If you’re close to me, you’ve probably heard me jokingly say, “I may never wear black again.”

Black has always been my favourite colour, but lately I’ve been drawn to colour in a way that feels slow, joyful, and almost healing. Like maybe there was a part of me I had simply coloured black for a long time… and now it’s coming back to life in pastels, softness, and florals.

Anyway, enough about me.

Thank you to this amazing client who trusted me with creative freedom for such a special celebration. I got to create one cake for two beautiful occasions: his sister’s birthday and his mum’s Mother’s Day celebration.

Same cake, by the way.

And I love that so much. 🤍
