How this started

With my sister's 40th birthday last year and a whole lot of time on my hands, it was the 'brain-child' of my mother's to make her a 'waka cake'.
This was my first attempt at making my cakes more realistic.
I have made cakes in the past before, for my kids birthdays, but nothing as challenging or creative as this.
While trial-running and attempting to make the different elements of this cake I was constantly combing the internet for ideas, tips and tricks.
Alot of this cake was inspired by images I found on the internet and I now have another cake to create for my sister's wedding at the end of this year and I will post photo's of my progress as I go on.

The people who make me - me

My photo
My 4 guinea pigs... Daniel My husband. He is not the best critic because he will eat everything I serve him on a plate and say it tastes 'nice'. Nate My 17 year old son who will eat anything put in front of him. Juni My 8 year old son who is fast becoming like his big brother in regards to the amount he eats. Nika My 6 year old princess. She eats more like a little sparrow and rarely over indulges in food. She is my favourite critic as she will tell me what tastes good and what tastes great. My family Pop My dad. Although he has minimal involvement in my life, I believe he has played a major roll in the person I have become. Mum My ear, shoulder and confidant. A woman worth her weight in gold. She is always there to have a good chin wag with and has inspired a few of my creations. Then there's me - Kiri. I have always enjoyed baking. I learnt early on that the quickest way to my heart was through food which is probably why I LOVE to cook for people.
