Case closed #208 - Among Us. This cake was for a 12 year old celebrating their birthday just after the new year. I have done a number of cakes for this family as they have both their own children and have other whanau in their care taking the family to ten. They are the loveliest family and I have enjoyed making all of their birthday cakes over the past year. This cake was kindly donated by Nick Barraclough.

*****We have kicked off our 2021 year ***** 
⁣
We have just had our first 2 cakes picked up today. 
⁣
We have some big goals this year.  Firstly I would like to change the royal 'we' into an actual we. A team of detectives to help ease the load in terms of baking, admin, marketing and some of our wonderful local cake decorators. 
⁣
I am going to put my big girl pants on and get out in front of our community to talk about our kaupapa and how we are striving to make some of those most vulnerable feel special and loved on their birthday.
⁣
There is a fair bit of admin work at the beginning of this year around getting roles sorted and filled through Volunteering Waikato but in the end it will make The Cake Detective more sustainable and widen our reach to new areas of our community that we aren't yet reaching. 
⁣
Enjoy the summer and I hope to meet more of you in the coming year.

Case closed #207 - Tik Tok. This was another cake that was collected while we were on holiday.  This cake went out to a 10 year old living with his grandparents.  The Christmas period is tough on so many people so to add hardship and a birthday into the mix it just takes it up a level. I was happy to be able to make a couple of cakes that worked in with our holiday and hope that for 2021 that we can cater to those kids who have birthdays in between Christmas and New Year. This cake was very kindly donated by Vanessa Thomson.

Case closed #206 - You Tube.  How to do a cake with a You Tube theme, go for a trusty app logo, add some red chocolate balls and done. This was a cake that was referred to us through Parentline. For those who don't know Parentline work with children who have been traumatised by abuse and domestic violence. This cake was collected just before Christmas for a 10 year olds birthday that came just after Christmas.  This cake was kindly donated by Kirsty Burridge Amyes one of our deputy detectives who donates regularly with a automatic payment however this cake was especially donated on behalf of her mother as a Christmas present. So thank you Kirsty mum and we hope it was a Merry Christmas.
