“Find something you love to do, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.”
Hello! My name is Allison & I’ve been baking since I was old enough to lick the spoon. I first ventured into the world of sugarcraft over 30 years ago but life happened and my hobby fell by the wayside. Over the years, I’ve worked in many areas of the hospitality industry across the UK & Channel Islands and being a dessert-a-holic, picked up my fair share of tips & tricks from some amazing pastry chefs along the way.
Myself, my partner & 3 children came to Wexford on holiday in 2013 and pretty much decided there & then that if we ever got the chance, we’d move here. We relocated to Wexford in March 2015. It took us a little while to get settled and during that first year I was baking more & more just to fill the time. Eventually I decided to make it official - I set the ball rolling for a little home baking business and Bouquets & Buttercream was born! I originally intended to only make cupcakes & bouquets, but as more & more people requested bigger & bigger cakes, I found it hard to resist those additional challenges.
My long-suffering partner has been roped in as my sounding board, business advisor, personal shopper & delivery man, and my daughter won her first award in Spring 2020, so it’s definately a family business. It’s been a roller-coaster at times but I’ve enjoyed (almost!) every minute of it, so here’s to many more years to come!
As well as creating celebration cakes, I also teach flower piping both online & on location. If you’d like to learn, you can find out more about my classes here.
