Meet the artist.

I am Katie, cake artist, specialising in floral cupcakes. I am originally from the UK, currently based in beautiful Hout Bay, Cape Town (South Africa) home to the Protea and many other indigenous fynbos. I discovered the world of buttercream flowers during the pandemic, when my guesthouse could no longer operate due to international travel restrictions. Who knew, that a year later, I would be creating edible art in the form of cupcake bouquets! My signature flower, the buttercream Protea has been featured in a Netflix movie “Angeliena” (released on 8 October 2021).

The expression ‘you eat with your eyes first’ definitely holds true when it comes to cupcake art – my philosophy is to make every buttercream flower as realistic as possible in appearance, but consistently great in taste! The moist vanilla sponge is commented on as much as the flowers, described recently by one of my customers as “old-school” deliciousness, how a cupcake should taste!

My cupcake bouquets are all named after close female family members and subsequently, as my range expanded, close friends. Each order is created with the same love and attention to detail as your special event demands. I work alone and take on limited orders per day so that I can take time to create my best work for your loved one or special occasion. Consequently, I recommend booking as far in advance as possible.

I hope you enjoy browsing the site. All the cupcake bouquets are available in three different sizes, as well as some boxed selections. Small events and weddings can also be catered for! 

Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

I look forward to baking for you.

Katie
