The idea for The Sugar Plum Cakery has been lingering for the last two generations. Something I did not realise until very recently. Baking has always been something my mom and I shared.  I started to experiment a little further on my own, like trying to bake a cake in a metal tin in the microwave!!! Yeah... that did not go down very well. 

​

I genuinely wish I could share the feeling of happiness and joy I experienced growing up, watching my mom bake, watching her hands knead and shape dough, tapping the side of a sift, whisking and blending batter, and the result was something delightful which I could sink my teeth into and lick my fingers clean of any syrup or icing.

After all, my mom taught me that one should never waste! But the pure joy of watching my mom, learning from her was not wasted on the younger me... I hadn't realised it then but, I had been absorbing all of it from my mom the Wildcard, who would churn out batches of puffy golden doughnuts, koeksisters and cakes old school style on gas stoves and coal ovens without the luxury of non-stick pans, fan-assisted ovens, timers or any controlled temperature setting.
Watching and listening to my mom talk of those days and her joy at reflection, made me fall in love with baking more and more. If you bake, you bake for the love of it and to spread happiness.

That is why at The Sugar Plum Cakery, everything is done from scratch, old school style just with the added benefits of modern equipment. No cake premixes. No frosting from a tub. Every cake and cupcake is a piece of art that should stimulate all your senses.

For us, a cake should never just look good but taste good and smell heavenly too!
