As a child, Elise used her young entrepreneurial skills to spend weekends baking slices, cakes and cupcakes to satisfy her sweet tooth.
She moved to Brisbane from New Zealand at the age of 5, travelled the world as a flight attendant, and now divides her time between the Gold Coast, Los Angeles and New York.
Elise began her cupcake career by setting up beachfront market stalls in Cronulla, then Surfers Paradise, filling them with hundreds of ornate homemade cupcakes, continually selling out.
In 2011, Elise posted a YouTube video tutorial making Cookie monster cupcakes, and from there, her channel has grown into a dynamic and engaged online community.
Her passion on the screen has been translated to print, with her designs and creations just as innovative and creative as they always have been. She is constantly experimenting with cupcake flavours, designs and decorations, and her dedication shines through the pages of the book.
She even offers little tips and tricks to help you on the way to becoming a master baker, no matter your skill level.
Sweet! Celebrations is definitely one to add to the shelves. You can pick it up now in stores, or order online at https://www.murdochbooks.com.au
