Wow! Especially for us, Lena of Lena taartje started baking this beautiful cake for us.
To get to know a bit more about the baker behind this cake, we have a short interview with Lena taartje in this blog.
Read more below!
How long have you been baking?
I have been baking to order for almost 4 years now. I always liked baking. Once I wanted to order a cake for my son's birthday. My baker was on holiday and I thought: why don't I try it myself?
I immediately got enthusiastic, thought of a name and created an Instagram page. At first, of course, I baked for friends and family, but soon I started getting orders from customers. And this is what I have been doing ever since.
What do you like most about baking?
What I like most are orders that give me a free hand. Those are often the most beautiful cakes. I never copy cakes from other bakers anyway. It would just stress me out if I had to copy something. I have really developed my own style over the years. For example, I don't work with fondant. I tried once, but it was a drama, haha. I especially like girly cakes, lots of flowers and I love working with stencils. Also curious about our stencils? Take a look at our stencils here.
What do you like best?
I myself particularly like cheesecakes. Very different from what I make. I hardly ever bake for myself, unless it is the kids' birthday (I can't get away from that). I have four boys, so they have to be boy's cakes and to be honest that is not my favourite thing to do. I do, of course, make them with all the love I have for them. I just have a very heavy preference for pastels and flowers (not exactly suitable for a boyscake).
Do you have any good baking tips?
A good baking tip: practise a lot. You can learn a lot from YouTube and try to do your own thing. Keep challenging yourself and my biggest tip is to take a break from baking sometimes. Do that more often and then you can go at it again with full energy!
