My darling little niece Georgia turned 5 on the weekend. Georgia lives in Ballina NSW so I wasn't there to celebrate with her and make her cake :O(

Georgia's Mummy (my SIL) came and saw me when I was in Sydney last week. We made these little 'funky figures' on my Planet Cake course so this went home with my SIL with strict instructions on how to put the cake together. I think I made my poor SIL sick with nerves with all my 'do's and don'ts'... but I think she did a fabulous job... maybe we have another cake decorator in the family!?

Happy Birthday Georgia... with loads of love from Aunty Kathryn xxxxx

VW Car Cake

Just got back from a week in Sydney. While there I attended the Novelty Masters Course at Planet Cake. Planet Cake car cakes are a minimum of $1,000au.... I now know why!!!!

It was so incredibly technical as this had to be to scale of the real thing. I learnt heaps... especially NEVER to take a car order LOL

Great bunch on the course too, look forward to staying in touch with them :O)

Chocolate mud cake, with chocolate ganache covered in fondant. All edible.

About Me :O)

Welcome to 4GoodnessCake!

My name is Kathryn. I live with my husband and children in the beautiful city of Auckland, New Zealand. To the rest of the world NZ is a long way from anywhere. For a tiny country we have done some big things internationally. We’ve made movies (Lord of the Rings), competed in sport reasonably well and gifted kiwifruit to the masses.

This blog had its beginning because last year a very close friend of mine was diagnosed with HER2 Positive breast cancer. It was such devastating news for her family and for me. To make matters worse the drug to treat this type of cancer is only partially funded by the NZ Government. My friend had to find $93,000.00 (NZD) to pay for a 12 month course of the treatment.

To help raise funds I offered to bake cakes. The blog was a perfect way to get the message out. Within a short space of time I was inundated orders and had to turn people away. The good news was that the money needed was raised within four months through a combination of fundraising initiatives http://www.supportmaara.blogspot.com/

Although the fundraising is all done I continued the blog for my own personal interest and to keep in touch with other cake makers. Not only is it a joy making these cakes but there’s another passion in me that loves transforming them into memorable images. I hope you enjoy what I have posted so far.

For me cake making is my passion and not my profession. I am a self-taught amateur who has no plans (at the moment) to progress beyond that classification. There’s a real irony at play here because if you asked me to draw you a picture, expect to see an unrecognisable stick figure depicting something slightly more sophisticated than an ink blot. However, through some mysterious work of nature, sugar and I have connected.

Thanks for taking the time to visit.
