Kylie Richards - Cake Decorating Central

Little Pudding Bake Chat

Kylie Richards, co-founder of Cake Decorating Central, has seen a lot of changes in the cake industry in nearly two decades of running the business. But while trends and gadgets come and go, Kylie says the customers (many who've become friends) are why she loves her work, even the ones who bring in cakes requiring emergency surgery!
In this chat, Kylie talks with love about her late mother-in-law, Shirley Richards, a wedding cake maker of 40 years and legend of the cake industry who used to make all of her decorations by hand. Kylie also tells me about steering the business through the challenging Covid years, why she's passionate about championing Aussie baking talent and the surprising (to me anyway!) best-selling, game-changing product that sells out every Friday in her stores. Can you guess what it is?
