Amy Watson from Sweet Blooms Cupcakery
Jane and I went through cancer treatment together! I was the one in the chair, replenishing my armies for battle every week (aka chemo), while Jane was there teaching me everything there was to know about cupcakes!
I was diagnosed the day before I turned 36, stage 3 breast cancer. I was a stay at home mom of a 1 and a 3 year old, and our lives were turned upside down. It’s a full time job battling cancer, with the 150+ doctors appointments and dozens of treatments, it turns into hundreds of hours of your life with you just sitting there and waiting. Sit and wait, sit and wait, that’s all I did.
Everything about cancer is ugly. And all it does is take. It takes everything from you! Your time, your energy, your happiness, your hair…my confidence was at an all time low. Everything was just…grey.
Then, with a few months left in my treatment plan, I was sitting and waiting (like always), scrolling through my phone, and came across a photo of a cupcake bouquet. I froze, amazed at how beautiful it was, and immediately became envious of its creator, because I wished I had that type of skill. Then I scolded myself, and said, girl you’re kicking cancer’s ass right now, which will be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. I think you can decorate a friggin cupcake!!!

2024 Winners Comments
Buttercream Bloom Awards Winner 2024 – Mrs Cooks Bouqcakes
“The awards were an amazing opportunity to showcase my work on a national scale, and the prizes are truly fantastic. I was overwhelmed by all the incredible feedback I received, which really boosted my confidence. I believe the Buttercream Bloom Awards are a fantastic chance for floral bakers to connect, showcase their talents, and gain that much-needed confidence. If any other bakers are considering entering but feel unsure, please take that leap of faith and go for it! It’s one of the best things I’ve done, and I’m sure you’ll feel the same way! I’m so grateful for this experience and can’t recommend it enough!”

Buttercream Bloom Awards Winner 2024 – One Cake Wish
“I love the awards as it brings a lot of people together to showcase their work. Being able to see all the gorgeous entries taking part. The final week is so exciting as the results can all change within days.“
Joanne Coulson
Buttercream Bloom Awards Winner 2024 – Susie’s Bakehouse
“Winning a Buttercream Bloom Award is such an honour for me. It’s a mix of excitement, pride, and even relief, knowing that all my hard work and countless hours spent perfecting my buttercream flowers has paid off. There’s a huge sense of fulfillment that comes with knowing that others appreciate and admire my work. It’s also a massive confidence booster, especially for me who has seriously lacked this in the past. Thank you to everyone who voted for me, to the sponsors, to Rockpool and of course to Jane for organising these awards and allowing all bakers to gain the recognition they deserve.”

Buttercream Bloom Awards Winner 2023 – Cakes by The Bunch
“If you’d told me a year ago that I would have been writing a blog as aGold winner in the Buttercream Blooms awards just a year, I would have laughed in your face! And yet, here I am…As well as the obvious privilege of being a Bloom winner, the increased exposure lead to a week long feature on my cakes and business on local BBC radio so it really was worth it!”
Sarah Walters

Arlene de Jager
Buttercream Bloom Awards Winner 2022 – Buttercream Boutique
“I feel honoured to have had the opportunity to take part in the Buttercream Bloom Awards along with so many incredibly talented bakers.
I’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to vote, and to Jane Taylor, as I wouldn’t have such a rewarding profession if it wasn’t for her.”
Lisa Keehn
Buttercream Bloom Awards Winner 2022 – Custom Crumb Cupcakes
