Hi, I'm Jacki - many times been referred to as a "Jacki of all trades". I'd say I've been blessed with a few talents, that fit very well together and form the intriguing tapestry that is my life.
My interest in baking started about 15 years ago when I was pregnant. I asked a neighbour for a cake recipe. She did not readily give it ofcourse - as we know tannies don't easily share their winning culinary secrets. But she wanted to give more, with the intention of sharing the joy of baking rather than just writing down a few steps. "Watch me", she said. I went home and tried the same, with close to perfect results and awesome reward!
Another neighbour bought me my first small mixer and stand and later I chose my trusty Kenwood Chef over a GHD as a gift from my sister, which turned out to be a pretty good choice! From there, through trial and error I have learnt what works and what doesn't, but this learning process starts anew each interesting day in the world of confectionery. For the past two years I've been honing my skills in modelling 3D characters, but my 15-year old son is fast perfecting those!
There are great things to come from this kitchen, so watch this space ya'll! In the meantime join my fans on facebook and help me take Sweetarts to the next level... www.facebook.com/sweetartscpt
Sweet dreams are made of these...
