The Craziness Behind The Dessert Obsession
Hi, my name is Bec.
What began as baking for family and work colleagues gradually evolved into something much bigger.
A little about me—I’m a wife, a mum to three energetic and wonderful children, and a proud pet mum to two as well. I am largely self-taught, aside from the early baking lessons I learned as a child from my Nanny Pat. To this day, I still haven’t quite mastered her Victoria sponge recipe!
Creativity has always been a big part of who I am. My background as an art student naturally transitioned into a love for cake decorating and creating beautiful desserts.
My business, Sprinkles 2 Crumbs, officially launched in March 2020—just two weeks before the world entered lockdown. Like many small business owners at the time, I found myself navigating an entirely new industry while also caring for three young children and adapting to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, often with very little guidance or support.
In my first year, I relied heavily on instinct rather than experience, particularly when it came to pricing and time management. Looking back, I undoubtedly undervalued my work, but those early challenges were an important part of the journey. Now, five years on AND NEARLY 3000 CAKES AND DESSERTS LATER I can confidently say I’ve grown significantly—both personally and professionally—and I continue to learn and evolve every day.
