About Me
Hello! My name is Christine. I am a passionate baker and the creator of Yum Yums and its accompanying goodies.
Yum Yums first started off as a small project to collate my Mum's recipes (she had a draw full of scrap papers and folders - you know the one!)
From there it expanded into quite a big project that involved visiting relatives and collecting recipes from cousins & aunties, and finding all the family favourites that were my Nanna's. I also did quite a bit of baking and food photography to bring Yum Yums to life.
My graphic design degree got a workout, and with the help and encouragement of family and friends I took the plunge and printed the first 100 copies of Yum Yums in late 2018.
After selling the first printed edition to mainly friends and family, I decided it was time to unleash it to the world with a second printing!
I decided it was also time to pursue another passion of mine.. novelty earrings! (I own over 300 pairs and have dreamed of making my own for some time.)
After attending a number of earring-making classes, I found the right medium to create my own earrings. Resin! After a lot of trial and error, I developed my very own series of moulds and created some resin lolly earrings to accompany Yum Yums.
I also couldn't resist creating some other Yum Yums merchandise and thought a tea towel would be fun. (They are seriously the best tea towels, my mum thinks they are amazing!)
Thanks to all those who already have their own copy of Yum Yums, and to those who are looking at purchasing their own. I hope you enjoy my family's recipes as much as I do.
Cheers!
Christine
