About Anita
Award-winning cake artist, pastry chef and educator
Anita created Slices of Heaven by Anita to build a warm creative community where people can learn, connect and enjoy cake decorating.
Her story
From creative hobby to professional cake educator
Anita's cake decorating journey began as a hobby while she was working as a qualified hairdresser. Her passion for baking, creativity and detailed hand work soon grew into a home-based cake business in Brisbane.
After moving to Melbourne, Anita worked with major cake decorating companies as a head decorator, class teacher and manager. Over more than ten years, she has built extensive experience across cake decorating, teaching and pastry arts.
Today, Anita is a qualified pastry chef, has completed her Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, and teaches cake decorating and baking to children, adults, beginners and advanced hobby decorators.
Her classes are supportive, hands-on and confidence-building. Anita believes anyone can learn with the right guidance, and her goal is to make every student feel comfortable, capable and inspired.
