Networking - cake style

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Dianne, a trained patisserie chef and the owner and lead cake designer at Kika's Cakes

It's amazing meeting someone who's also so passionate about cake. We talked about anything and everything related to cakes! Cake designers we admire Lindy Smith, Zoe Clark and Peggy Porschen...

Zoe Clark Cakes - Pink Vintage Lace Wedding Cake

Peggy Porschen - Dainty Dots Wedding Cake

...cake television programmes we love (The Great British Bake Off, Ace of Cakes)

...cake courses we've either been on or want to go on: Lindy Smith's wonky cake course and Fair Cake's "run your own cupcake classes"

...inspiring websites such as Wilton which has loads of tips and ideas and Amy Atlas for her incredible styling and dessert tables.

I'd like to wish Dianne the best of luck for Kika's Cakes and her cake ventures in 2011 and thank you to Sarah from Ginger for introducing us in the first place :-)
