In my second year of my Batchelor of Consumer Science (Food & Nutrition) my friend Sara asked me to make her gender reveal cake to reveal the sex of her second born, second beautiful child.
I ran straight to my baker friend, Venessa, to get a quote from her to take on this task. However, after some encouragement from my family, I decided to head off to Laeeque Bakerware (a cake decorator's paradise!) where I just happened to get a crash course from "Grandpa", the store owner's father. After getting some amazing tips, I headed home with packets full of ingredients, my new "toys" and a Laeeque School of Cake Decorating course schedule.
I totally underestimated the time it would take me to make that gender reveal cake!!... and I had a totally new perspective on why baker's charge what they do for their creations - I was colouring, kneading and cutting fondant till 3am!
The following day, when I presented my very first "real" cake at the gender reveal, I was truly surprised by the comments I received. A couple of hours later, when the cake was cut and everyone dug in, more compliments followed. Sitting there (after having had roughly 3 hours of sleep the night before), it hit me - this is it!... this is what I have been searching for!
A week later I enrolled with Laeeque for their PEM Master's Diploma in Cake Decorating... and rest is history!
I have also since completed courses in Wedding Cakes and Chocolate Decorating (also with Laeeque).
Sara - thank you for asking me to make that cake! :)
