Zoe’s store also specialises in an array of
delicious confections and fancies that will make
any taste buds tingle. Zoe is excited to have
released her first book “Simply Perfect Party
Cakes for Kids” and she has another book
dedicated to ‘everything lace’ in the works.
The Australian Cake Decorating Network caught
up with Zoe who shared her insight on wedding
cakes. We enjoyed having afternoon tea with Zoe
in her gorgeous Parlour!
Tying the knot isn’t complete without a
special cake and no one knows this better
than founder of London’s The Cake Parlour,
Zoe Clark. She is busy in her boutique store
throughout the year designing and creating
exquisite wedding cakes for lucky couples.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you
have been in the industry?
I’ve been making cakes now for about 8 years.
I started off as a pastry chef but as soon as I
had chance to combine sweet things with my
childhood passion of art and crafts, I immediately
went into cake decoration and was lucky enough
to find a great job which is where I learnt all
my basic cake making skills. I set up my own
business from home about 6 years ago and 3
years later I moved into a shop where I am today,
making mainly wedding cakes and teaching
classes in the quieter periods.
