Katrien van Zyl proudly served her first cake at the age of 12 and k<strong>ne</strong>w then that she would<br />
love to bake for a living. A self-proclaimed chocoholic, she combi<strong>ne</strong>d these two loves when<br />
baking her best friend’s wedding cake. After completing a four-year degree in home economics<br />
at Stellenbosch University she worked in the catering industry for several years, where<br />
she became involved in wedding planning and commercial baking for weddings and parties,<br />
among others. After her own wedding seven years ago, she started working from home,<br />
marketing her original wedding and party cake designs from her website, to leave time for<br />
helping out in her husband’s busi<strong>ne</strong>ss, and being full-time stepmom to his three boys. With<br />
four hungry men in the house there is always something delicious in the oven, and they<br />
thoroughly enjoyed gobbling up the leftover chocolate during the photoshoot for the book.<br />
