After high school I debated many options for post secondary education. And toyed with the idea of culinary school. Although I ended up pursuing a degree in Global and Development Studies, my love for baking has always been a part of my life. As a stay at home mum I have had time to dabble more in my passions and through encouragement of my nearest and dearest cheerleaders decided to sell cakes and cupcakes as The Fairy Cake Mother.
So when you next need cake baking, by the flick of my fairy wand I can have a cake made for you. I look forward to the creative journey of designing and baking cakes for you all.
Hi, I'm Emily!
The Fairy Cake Mother is founded and operated by myself, Emily Martin. I am a mother of two and have a passion for all things baking. In terms of decorating I particularly enjoy florals, pastel colours, baking for special events, and co-creating cake dreams with you all.
Growing up I had some special role models in the kitchen.
My Grandma and I always baked together when we visited or she came to see us. She was always singing songs and silly rhymes as we worked. My mum made creative and spectacular cakes for us every birthday and spent many hours baking alongside me teaching me how to add a “dollop” of this and a “slosh” of that until I could confidently understand typical consistencies and techniques, albeit still calling her for advice often. My Nana and I also often baked together using her balance scales with weights. One of my all time favourites (fittingly) are her fairy cakes. She, to this day, gives me tips, recipes, and feedback on my cakes.
My Gramps also always has a thing or two to add from his artists eye.
