We are the Cake Decorating Collective, two friends who just happen to share the same love of cake decorating and we want to create longevity of our craft by sharing our skills to likeminded people.
Our aim is to give back to the cake decorating world by sharing our collective knowledge that we have gained throughout our own personal journeys of cake decorating. As a duo we have years of experience, all offering and specialising in our own techniques.
Karen started decorating at 13 years of age, 38 years later she is an award-winning qualified pastry chef/ cake decorator and runs her own cake business in Perth since 2001. In 2011 Karen invented a world first 100% edible metallic icing for the cake industry.
Julie is also an award-winning cake decorating, who has demonstrated at various cake events throughout Australia. Coming from a pottery background, Julie has incorporated pottery techniques into the cake world. Her unique style and breaking the "rules" in relation to many cake decorating myths, has encouraged many students over the years to achieve a cake result they never thought was possible.
We want to inspire students to achieve the best they can and leave our demos and workshops fulfilled and excited about what they have been able to create under our guidance.
