E35 - Australian Cake Decorating Network founder, Liz Wright - A cake community where bakers can flourish!
It’s funny how ideas can come into your head. For Liz, the idea of a community for cake makers came to her while feeding her twins when they were 9 months old at 2 am. That was 13 years ago.
Liz and her team run the Australian Cake Decorating Network. A diverse community of members who go on cake crawls, cake camps, have annual award ceremonies, and generally support each other through thick and thin. It’s amazing.
Liz was a baker herself but also a trained occupational therapist. She’s had to juggle a lot. But she’s found a way through it all and she sits with us from her office to walk us through all the ups and down. She is an inspiration. Enjoy.

E34 - Funky Batter - One cake recipe, 16 combinations, now sold in over 122 countries!
As a female growing up in India, Hena Mahajan never followed the normal path. A creative at heart who found herself entering the world of jewellery design at a fairly young age, she ran her own business creating and selling her own designs.
Funky batter however was formed as a continuation of her ability to want to create even if it wasn’t in the industry she originally she started working in. Funky batter is the ability for anyone to download and follow her core recipes to create whatever you want with your cakes.
Starting with 16 core flavours, but giving you the tools to go off and create your own, Hena has just built the foundation for so many bakers to start with their own recipes and build on them. It’s an inspiring story and motivating to listen to as it just shows that just when you think an industry like cake already has it all, you can still find ways to help and find new ways to teach people the essentials. I really hope you like it.
