Today we are meeting Alison from Wild Rose Sweets & Styling who is based in Newcastle, NSW

Here is what Alison had to say when I asked her about her passion and love for being in the Cake business:-

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t bake!  My Grandmother and Mum are both amazing in the kitchen so it was just a natural part of life for me. Over the years I have seen so many gorgeous cakes but they were always fondant and, call me crazy, but I don’t actually like eating fondant.  It wasn’t until I took a Buttercream class with the lovely Vanessa at Sugar Rush/Cake Style TV that I realised how many amazing finishes you could achieve with buttercream that are both beautiful and delicious!  From there I widened my repertoire to include macarons, cake pops, cookies and various other petite sweets.  I love the variety in what I do – no two weeks are the same!

I started this amazing journey only 22 months ago, originally trading under the name ‘Cupcake Couture’ as cupcakes were my focus.  As I became busier and word-of-mouth spread  I realised that if this was going to be a successful business I needed to treat it like one.  I changed the name of the business to ‘Wild Rose Sweets & Styling’ to differentiate myself and to better reflect the variety of sweets and the styling services that I now offered.  It’s been an amazing adventure and I have made some wonderful friends in both the Cake and Table Styling community.

As far as the most popular flavour of cake goes, Alison says it is probably a toss up between Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate & Raspberry.  For cupcakes though it’s a different story – while I offer a large variety of gourmet flavours the most popular one is Vanilla.  I think it’s because it is just a universal favourite.  For macarons it’s either the Salted Caramel or Strawberries & Cream.  I can’t decide which I love the most – they are all delicious!
