See what this local lady had to say to us…
Describe yourself in 3 words…
Strong willed, caring and hard working.
My three favourite things in the world are…
Spending time with my family and friends, baking and exploring.
What made you decide to open up Pack ‘n Bake?
Pack n Bake is a family run business. When I met my boyfriend, Stuart, the opportunity came about to have my own baking store, here in Hermanus. I jumped right at it, it has always been a dream to have my own baking shop and here I am, loving every moment of it.
If you are not in the store what are you doing?
Having coffee with my friends and marketing my business.
The best art of owning Pack ‘n Bake is?
I get to do what I love everyday, and I get to share my passion of baking and decorating cakes with people from all walks of life.
Be strong, be motivated, enjoy life and appreciate the small things!
Hermanus is…
Beautiful!
I love Hermanus in the…
All year round! The changing of the seasons is spectacular here, the way the sea changes and the shades on the mountain ranges.
My favourite place in Hermanus is…
Grotto Beach, taking my best furry friend, Louis and boyfriend for a run and play in the sand and sea. Spending time with them outside of work makes me incredibly happy!
I wish I knew then what I do now about…
Just to be the person you are, taking time for yourself is just as important.
My best memories are…
Spending time with my family, they are so special to me and are always there for me through the good times and the bad!
