Reflections on 2014: A Celebration of Cake and Friendships!

What an incredible year this has been for us at Insanely Cakes! We have so much to be thankful for! From being chosen by our lovely clients to be a part of their celebrations, weddings and other events to those who joined the Insane Baker  for our bespoke cake decorating classes; we are truly blessed to have been a part of your joyous memories!

Here are some of our highlights from this year:

During 2014 the Insane Baker also had the privilege of teaching a talented bunch of ladies in our bespoke classes:


Hobbycraft Cake Classes
 


 International French Exchange Students Classes 










It makes me so proud to say that these lovely ladies have come a long way since their first cake decorating classes here at Insanely Cakes and we are very proud to have been a part of their journey! The Insane Baker recently interviewed the lovely Maria who was busy preparing her Christmas Mini Cake Gifts at the time.

She spoke so proudly of her first time at being willing to undertake the challenge of making her son Nathaniel's Minecraft birthday celebration cake and matching cupcakes. Maria explained that it was through completing her classes with Insanely Cakes that gave her the drive to make the cakes and here are her amazing results!

Maria's first solo attempt at a Minecraft Celebration Cake 'n Cupcakes!


Since then Maria's confidence and skills have flourished and the Insane Baker was most impressed as she watched her complete the Christmas Mini Cakes.

Perfect present from Santa!

Another lovely Insanely Cakes student Elna who started her baking classes with us back in 2012 actually took on the incredulous challenge of making the Wedding Cupcakes for her nephew's Wedding in South Africa recently! We are very proud of the high standard and professional finish of the cupcakes particularly as Elna had the sub-tropical climate to contend with as well! As they say "the proof is in the pudding" and the Bride certainly stood testament to those words! We were given to understand that they went down a treat! Here are some photos from the big day:

Another student who grew from strength to strength in her classes was Lucy who successfully completed 6 classes with us this year! One of her final classes was the Whimsical Christmas Cake and Cupcakes Class seen here:



Sadly, Lucy and her family have moved to Kuwait but we believe that her gorgeous Christmas Cake made the journey too and has been eaten over the Christmas holidays!

It's been an amazing year for us here at Insanely Cakes but we have loved every minute of 2014 and cannot wait to see you all in 2015 for some exciting adventures in the baking world! So a little message from the Insanely Cakes family to you and yours:

New is the year;
New are the hopes;
New is the resolution;
New are the spirits;
And new are our warm wishes just for you.
Have a promising and fulfilling New Year!




See you on the other side! Lots of Insanely Cakes love and hugs! The Insane Baker and family! Xxx
