Hey there!
I’m Kerrie, the semi professional goofball behind Viva La Buttercream! My husband and I live in the south western Sydney suburbs with our two boys (teenagers now 😱) and our cat, Chicken.
We grow a whole stack of food in our front yard veggie garden, and we’re only on small suburban block, so don’t think you need a big plot of land to grow your own food! I homeschool our younger son, so I also enjoy squeezing lots of quality time and learning into our day.
I’m also a practising Witch of 25 years, an avid reader, crafter, and lover of baking and cooking. I also collect Sylvanian Families/Calico Critters, and have an unhealthy obsession with computer keyboards. I’m a cornucopia of interests.
I have multiple chronic illnesses including Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), a connective tissue disorder in the Ehlers Danlos Syndrome family, as well as mast cell activation disorder (MCAD), and a host of other trimmings like fibromyalgia, migraine, severe allergic asthma, and neurodivergence to name a few! 😵💫
As a professional Cake Artist and Teacher, I have featured in American Cake Decorating, Cake! Magazine, Cake Decoration and Sugarcraft Magazine, as well as taught and demonstrated at Cake Shows here and in the US.
I have a creative streak a mile wide, which sometimes includes cake, sometimes totally random fixations, and ALWAYS shenanigans.
If you’ve been with me from the beginning, thank you. If you’re new here, thank you for joining me on this journey of life, and all its magic ✨
