Meet Zoe

 
 

Hi there!

I’m Zoe – wedding cake maker, graphic designer, dog lover and fancy dress enthusiast. I describe my cake (and life) style as whimsical, with a dash of vintage flair and a cup load of creativity thrown in for good measure!

Down the rabbit hole of sweetness, Confetti Cake Co. made its whimsical debut in January 2018. Why "officially," you ask? Well, I've been whipping up cakes and desserts since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, showering friends and family with countless birthday, and just-because confections during my experimentation years. Call me the dessert enabler – a title earned through both trials and triumphs. Would you believe I tried more than 11 different doughnut recipes before I found one that I was happy with?

Prior to starting Confetti Cake Co., I studied Graphic Design at the Queensland College of Art and for over 15 years I journeyed through various realms, including an architecture firm, a high-end Brisbane-based activewear brand, and the swift-paced lands of logo and branding companies. In August 2019, I bid farewell to my graphic design career to chase the wonder of cake decorating full-time.

Confetti Cake Co. is technically just me however I couldn’t do it without support! My mum Lynn, is my number one fan and helps out with cookies, wedding expos and long distance deliveries and she always has a Vegemite and cheese sandwich on hand (my favourite). My dad Brian, is a behind-the-scenes guy and chief taste-tester. He’s the first to put his hand up to try a new cake recipe and is the best at keeping me motivated with the right words at the right time. My husband Andrew, has picked up a lot of the household chores since I started the #cakelife and always makes sure my car has its aircon pumping and there is a hot cup of tea waiting when I get home.

We spent most of 2020 constructing a second kitchen under our house, exclusively for Confetti Cake Co. This space, twice the size of our domestic kitchen where the magic started, boasts dual ovens, heaps of bench space and plenty of storage.

Now you’ve heard my tale, I want to hear about you and your wedding day and inspirations. Let’s bring your ideas to life through the magic of cake.
