In 2019, I began my journey with R U OK? DAY, an initiative that deeply resonated with me. During my years in Australia, I came to appreciate the importance placed on mental health and the power of simply checking in, listening and reminding someone that they are not alone. I believe that feelings such as sadness, anxiety and stress are part of being human, and that it is okay not to be okay.

​

Since then, I have proudly supported R U OK? DAY each year by donating a percentage of my yellow cupcake earnings to the organisation. What began as a small gesture grew into a meaningful tradition, where cupcakes became a way to spread kindness, encourage conversations and bring a little joy to someone’s day. Along the way, I have also contributed to pro bono projects supporting women and community causes, earning the affectionate nickname “Cupcake Santa”.

​

For me, baking has always been about more than creating something beautiful or delicious. It is about connection, compassion and using my craft to make a positive difference. If you are looking to bring a little more meaning to an event, campaign or community initiative, I would love for my yellow cupcakes to be part of your story.​
