About Allyson
 

My friends and family jokingly refer to me as either “the MacGyver of creativity” or “mini Martha”. I suppose it’s because those who know me know that I have a keen eye for all things aesthetic and spend endless hours creating everything from clothing to cake.

 

For as long as I can remember I have seen most things as a creative endeavour, and while I have spent many hours drawing, painting, sculpting and sewing, I was still always left with the feeling that I had yet to find my perfect medium.

As the years passed I relegated my passion for art to a “hobby” and went on to receive my Honours Bachelor of Science with High Distinction. I then happily worked as a therapist with children with autism.

 

It was only when I had the good fortune to stumble across a cake decorating book, that I finally understood the way in which I am supposed to use my creative talents. I took a course at the Bonnie Gordon School of Cake Decorating and Design, and I haven’t looked back since. Bonnie has been a true mentor to me and I am so thankful for all her encouragement and knowledge. Now everything has come full circle as I am now an instructor at her school..

 

Cake design involves all the things that I am truly passionate about. In particular, the creative process and fine hand work involved in designing and creating a cake, the chance to make something really beautiful from scratch and the joy that comes from meeting with clients and providing them with something that adds to the happiness of such special events in their lives.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Allyson
