flowers.
Written by Marianna Saran
Her passion for all things pretty
and sugary has taken her on an
amazing journey, which has led her
into the world of styling. EmmaLee has styled many events with
gorgeous dessert tables that are
always filled with an abundance of
amazing creations.
Tell us a little bit about Emma Lee
Cake Design and how you came to be
in business.
My interest in cakes started the same
as many cake decorators, baking
my children’s birthday cakes. With a
shared interest of all things delicious
my friend Mare and I started a little

business called Yum ME Cakes. Yum
ME Cakes quickly grew and due to
personal circumstances I couldn’t
take on my fair share of the workload.
I decided it was best to venture out
on my own where I could take on only
limited orders. And thus Emma-Lee
Cake Design was born.
How did you get into the styling side
of things, and what is it about styling
events that you love?
Event styling also transformed through
planning my children’s birthday parties
and family events. I enjoy being
creative and seeing a vision come to
life. It is an all-consuming world and I
just love it!
