Her range of talents has been repeatedly demonstrated through her business journey: starting from a patisserie stall at Shongweni Farmers Market, Lucy then moved on to start the highly acclaimed Vanille Cafe in Kloof. Now settled on the more central Berea she holds Freedom Cafe and Lucy’s Cake Shop under her belt while consulting to local restaurants, writing for the Sunday Times Food Weekly and developing her most recent adventure in food, Renegade Kitchen.

At the core of Lucy’s various operations is a deep love of and appreciation for food and the simple pleasure it can bring to life through both everyday meals and shared celebrations. Her creations, from slap up breakfasts to a wedding cakes, are always hearty, honest, visually delightful and bring a sense of exuberance to any occasion.

Celebrating with food comes second nature to Lucy, who grew up with a natural sense of creativity in the kitchen.

I’ll never forget the birthday cakes my mum used to make my sister and I: Always hand crafted as per our requests or my mum’s latest find in her favourite magazine. Those handmade cakes were her special gift to us on our birthday and made them all the more memorable. A slice of love straight from the heart!

Lucy’s belief that good wholesome food can be easily accessible extends to her engagement with the public where she delights in teaching and sharing through regular recipe contributions to the Sunday Times and through training and consulting work.
