Hi, I’m Cecilia

I’m the owner and founder of Vanilla and Sprinkles. I’m a mum to 3 wonderful kids – twin boys aged 9 and a little girl aged 6. It’s safe to say they keep me busy! Me and my family moved to the UK from South Africa 7 years ago, and this is when I found my passion for baking and creating delicious cakes that look as amazing as they taste.

I’ve been the designated cake maker for friends and family for years and I’m completely self-taught. I can’t count how many cake decorating videos I’ve watched on YouTube! Now I’m ready to make a career using my skills with a piping bag. While cakes and cupcakes are my speciality, I also love making South African delicacies such as flavoured rusks and koeksisters.

I’m passionate about creating cakes with a difference and love pushing myself with new ideas – whether it’s an unusual flavour or show-stopping design. I’ve had all kinds of requests from parents for children’s birthday cakes (and of course have made them for my own little ones) and love seeing the delight on their faces when it’s revealed. I’d love to speak to you about your ideas and requests – so get in touch and let’s make your dream cake happen!

Love and sprinkles,
