Cassie from Cas' Cakery is not only a leader in her field of cake decorating, she's an inspiration to all women in business.
In Ep 12, ahead of her appearance at the Cake, Bake & Sweets Show in Sydney, she talks about the beginnings of her cake business with simple mud cake hacks while a mum to four kids under six in a remote mining town, the incident that made her commit fully to the business (instead of pursuing a career in fitness) and how her life has changed over the past five years because of that decision. Cas also shares some behind-the-scenes fun of big cake shows, she tells me why she's excited to be bringing her daughters with her to Sydney and why she's made it her mission to support and empower women in the industry.
