Prebbleton baker’s cakes in<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

FROM A digger-themed<br />

birthday cake splashed with<br />

colour to a elegantly-designed<br />

wedding cake topped with<br />

intricate fondant flowers<br />

– Felicity Goodfellow’s<br />

home-baking is growing in<br />

popularity.<br />

With a love for challenging<br />

her baking skills, the<br />

Prebbleton resident has baked<br />

an array of cakes which are in<br />

hot demand with friends and<br />

family.<br />

Her baking has received a<br />

surge of support on Instagram<br />

and Facebook, with people<br />

asking if she will start up her<br />

own business.<br />

“I just sell to friends and<br />

family but I wouldn’t say I<br />

have got a business as such,<br />

and I don’t think I really want<br />

to go down that route of having<br />

a business. But never say<br />

never, who knows,” she said.<br />

Creating picturesque cakes<br />

wasn’t always a desire of Mrs<br />

Goodfellow’s.<br />

But when her eldest daughter<br />

Emmy celebrated her first<br />

birthday in 2014, the former<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School<br />

teacher was determined to<br />

make her daughter’s day as<br />

special as possible.<br />

BEST CAKES: Felicity Goodfellow bakes amazing cakes for family and friends.<br />

“I had some time up my<br />

sleeve because I was off on my<br />

maternity leave from teaching<br />

. . . it was that time in my<br />

life where I could challenge<br />

myself,” she said.<br />

Soon after successfully<br />

baking her daughter a “giant<br />

cupcake”, Mrs Goodfellow<br />

began hunting for more cakes<br />

to bake in a bid to perfect her<br />

new craft.<br />

Four years down the line<br />

and she has created a range of<br />

cakes, from the three-layered<br />

hungry caterpillar-themed<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

cake to an “ice cream smash”<br />

cake and a layered macaroon<br />

cake.<br />

“I love helping people to<br />

make their special day and<br />

seeing the joy on their face<br />

when I drop off their cake,”<br />

she said.<br />
