Having grown up in a home of bakers, cake decorators and great cooks, it was a natural progression for Michelle to attend Silwood Kitchens Cordon Bleu School of Cookery in Cape Town, South Africa. She was awarded the internationally accepted Silwood Grande Diplome after 3 years of training in some of South Africa’s top eateries and guest houses.

Michelle’s training and experience has seen her work in a broad spectrum of the food industry including Product Development for major food retailers, food styling for magazines, recipe books and packaging, and catering for celebrities and international dignitaries.

Michelle formally studied Cake Decorating as part of her Cordon Bleu training and it is this part of the food industry that is close to heart and that she is most passionate about. She has taken this a step further and has gained City & Guilds qualifications in Sugarcraft, Design and Sugarflowers. She is also a member of the British Sugarcraft Guild and has now set up her own business in Warfield, Berkshire, making cakes for special events and celebrations.

Michelle has a real passion for baking and cake decorating and this is evident in her creative flair to produce works of art that not only look amazing, but taste delicious too.
