In the viral video, which has gained over 15,700 reactions, 300 comments, and 3,000 shares, she admitted that decorating wasn't as easy as it looked.

The cakery offers a beautiful, clean, and colourful space that feels homely and welcoming. Customers can also purchase refreshments from their menu, and the content creator treated herself to a lovely warm purple drink during her decorating session.
