I met my husband many years ago and wooed him with baking. He moved in next door to me and I baked cupcakes to say ‘welcome to the neighbourhood’. Not long after this, he was sprinkling red rose petals all over my driveway and proposing on Waiheke Island!

I did not realise at the time that the baking would become such a huge part of our lives (nor did I realise we would have 4 boys…yes four!)  I started out baking (and obsessing) over every party and cake that my children had (ask anyone who came!). This turned into Christmas and baby showers and other people’s birthdays until I had a request for a wedding cake from a friend. At this time I realised I loved baking so much and creating people’s dream cakes that I decided to create Rosé Crafted Cakes.

As a self-taught cake crafter, there have been plenty of learning curves and revelations along the way. This is what I love, the journey!

With Rosé I am excited to be part of the Matakana Farmers’ Market and really enjoy getting to know and working with the local suppliers here. I am so grateful to all my family for being such gracious cake tasters and avid supporters.

Thank you!
