About Me

For those of you who are new to Plush n Lush cupcakes i should tell you a bit about myself. My name is Rachael Vyner and I'm an at home Mum of four kids. 3 beautiful girls, Taylor 10, Hope 8, Ebony 4 and  my cheeky little boy Jack 15mths. You would think that would keep me busy enough wouldn't you? Well obviously not lol. I worked in retail for 8 years and although i loved working in customer service i still wasn't 100 percent sure this was what i was meant to do with my life. So i left work and studied nursing! A challenging and fulfilling career that i could really be proud of. Well 1/2 way through my last year of study i fell pregnant unexpectedly with my third child so that was that. I decided to just enjoy being a mum for a few years. Which i absolutely loved! It was so nice to be there for my kids and spend so much time with them. So me and my husband decided to try our chances at having a boy and all worked out. Our little man Jack came along and life was great. but when Jack was about 6 month old i got itchy feet again and felt i needed to find something to do for ME. I just knew there was something missing.

 In February last year it was my daughters birthday and i did the usual. Made the birthday cake and lots of other goodies for all the kids and i decided to get some piping bags and make some cupcakes and decorate them. They turned out great and i got so many people comment on them. So then i was hooked. A few days later i made some Lemon Meringue cupcakes and posted pictures on my facebook page and to my surprise i had people telling me i could easily sell them. Then i made some mini coffee cupcakes and carrot and walnut and then before i new it i started having people ask to by my little creations. 
I Couldn't ask for a better job. I get to be at home with my kids and work at the same time. I'm very blessed. I had been making cakes since i was about 7 years old and always loved it. Baking is what relaxes me.It is so great to now have my daughters in the kitchen learning from me. 

I still kick myself when i look back on the last 8 months since starting Plush n Lush. Still cant believe how far it has come. I started off thinking i might sell a dozen here or there and now i cant seem to keep up some weeks. 


So as for this blog. I will be featuring a couple of my cupcakes a week, giving out some helpful advice, keeping everyone updated on whats going on in the Plush n Lush kitchen and generally just having fun as usual :) 
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
