AKA Elizabeth Hudnott, Grannie puts her heart into everything she does. With a first career as a paediatric nurse and later working in the antique auction industry, the integration of the practical with the artistic became an enduring fascination.
The hobby of many years of sugar art and cake decoration has become a third career which is enjoyable and very satisfying. Throughout the years and in many different locations, numerous TAFE courses have developed her skills, and a long and varied life experience, including 17 years on a yacht, is a treasure trove of ideas and inspiration.
Most recently Liz has studied sugar art to exhibition level, sugar flowers adorning her signature pieces. To her delight, children prefer the little figures and brighter colours on her naive cakes. Grannie has won many blue ribbons at the Royal Hobart Show for sugar flowers, cookies, cupcakes, buttercream and also Best in Show for Lambeth style piping,so far.
