Anita's Cake Bakery - Cupcake Decorating

"Anita created the most fabulous party for my daughter's 8th birthday. She came up with beautiful designs and all the children had a ball recreating them with her help. She was calm, patient and absolutely lovely with them, even though the noise levels were high! Thank you Anita. "
