Hi There... Welcome to Metro Designer Cakes!
Having a passion for art, combined with my love of all things sweet is how MDC was born! My caking journey started a long time ago, in my grandmothers kitchen (cliché, I know, but here's where it got interesting!) As all grandmas, mine used to reminisce about years gone by & you would hear about all the family history. Mine often included tales about my great grandmas chocolate factory! Yup.. you heard right, my great grandma not only was a chocolatier, but also owned a fully fledged factory dedicated to all things chocolate. Yum!! This is where my journey began! Baking & creating with chocolate has literally been my life! Fast forward a few years & it was my turn to get married. Being a creative person, I really wanted to create my own wedding cake, not the traditional type, but one with delicate sugar flowers, waterfall & sugar rocks. It was quite beautiful, but undertaking this made me appreciate the art of sugar, esp sugar flowers. As life got busier, different occasions called for cakes & I saw this as an opportunity to further my skills, teaching myself how to carve & create 3D cakes, sculpt delicate sugar figurines & many more skills. Today, I have been professionally caking for 10 years, in which time, I have produced hundreds of cakes of all different mediums! I keep MDC as a boutique studio, in order to maintain our high quality. Our cakes may be a little more expensive than other bakeries that pump out vast quantities of cakes each week, this is to ensure each cake gets the attention to detail it deserves!
