For some time now I’ve had a bit of a love/hate relationship with and her incredible, never ending stream of the most beautiful cakes and baked delights I’ve ever seen, if I don’t get my hands on one of her cakes soon there’s going to be a serious problem.

To attest to her incredible skills Nikki has recently opened her own studio, based in Cape Town where you can buy or order one of her cakes online. Unfortunately she can’t deliver to Johannesburg just yet, so if you’re in JHB like me pictures will have to do for now. As a designer Nikki finds being able to be creative is pretty much on par with that morning-coffee-feeling. Totally invigorating. Baking has opened up a new world of artistic expression for her and she hopes to inspire others and brighten their day just a little.
