Ourselves. No, really! We did all the work and ate all the pies... It takes true love (or stupidity of the ultimate kind) for a sister and brother to continue working together, but we remain so weirdly wired and connected that true synergy almost always happens. We annoy each other, fight, scream, throw tantrums and laugh together, sometimes all of these before six in the morning.

Abacus Productions: Lots of fun shooting the TV-pilot. Thanks for believing. Bakers Emporium: Still our favourite baking store. Beverley Dodd: For the beautiful design, and who surely deserves a raise after putting up with our demands a second time around. Blink: Janice; Marigold: Stefan and Dagmar; Imagenius: Jackie. Our three favourite little shops in Cape Town, with our favourite shop-owners. You guys rock this city with your ability to find and showcase the best local designers. Carol Faclier, Kendall Warren, Tanya Laing (Sootcookie): We know of no other city blessed by such talented ceramic designers. Chris Guy: Our not-so-silent partner. David Moore and the Big Blue crew: Work is made a pleasure. De Akker Guesthouse: For trying out our goods on its guests and providing the necessary feedback. Dirk Pieters: Master Photographer and the true King of Light. Este Maritz: Formerly best mother, now best grandmother in the world, for daily support, playing peacemaker and scouring every shop and market for props. Frans Maritz: For selling more copies of our books than most bookshops. Fun-Boy-Three: Maximo, Ethan and Pierre. Joy Clack: Editor, for understanding that we see deadline as the ultimate swear word. Mantis: For entrusting your beautiful cloths to strangers. Maricel Albertyn: For making the most beautiful paintings based on our cakes. Marike Roggen: For testing, re-testing and re-re-testing recipes. Moira Grace: Whose love of shopping provides us with lots of props. Nicci Rossouw: Who fought with a smile until the end and for coining the phrase: You do not make memories by lying on the couch. Riekie Booysens: Our chief baker, who has been with us from the start. We will bet our bottom dollar against anyone who dares challenge her to a bake-off. Rocket Films: Debbie, Glen and Zoe, best film family anywhere. Sam Woulidge: Who only drinks spring water. Shirley Mulder: For handmade props. Sweet Melissa at Lula Fabrics: For allowing us to use your exquisite fabrics. Vanessa: Our fantastic agent and owner of Birdonawire, for believing in our brand. Werner Ungerer: For lovely cake graffiti.

We would also like to thank all of you who bought our books Cakes to Celebrate Love and Life and Love&Food. We feel loved. We still feel thrilled when we see our books on the racks or advertised for sale on websites around the globe. We love getting phone calls and emails from all around. We love getting sent pictures of what you baked from our books and how the results were part of a special day. It is because of your support that our fantastic food journey continues; it is because of you that we made so many new friends from around the world; it is because of you that we won the Gourmand prize for Best Dessert Book (South Africa); it is because of you that we get invited to strut our stuff on TV and be allowed to continue to publish more books. We love the SA media for being so supportive of our projects and believing in our brand, Cakebread. But most of all we love food-bloggers (especially confessionsofahungrywoman.com, kitchenvixen.com, lanaloustyle.blogspot.com, deelishuss.blogspot. com, emilydiaczunstyling.blogspot.com) for their passion and taking the time to write about it. We truly believe that food-blogging is the best thing since sliced bread.

A super-duper thank you to the following people that allowed us to use or adapt their recipes for this book: Aimee White, Aletta Nel, Annelie White, Annemarie Coetsee, Babs Guy, Di Back (Fairview), Elsabe Maritz, Elsabe Marnitz, Emily Diaczun, Este Maritz, Grieta McGregor, Ilse Jacobs, Jane Ireland, Leonie van Hasselt, Liesl Glas, Linda De Waal, Mariette Engelbrecht (Jot), Simon and Vicki Bridgewood (MY Obsession), Sonita Young.

Mari-Louis would like to thank Chris Guy (coolest husband) and my in-laws for not being in-laws but great parents and grandparents.

Callie would like to thank Claudia de Clercq, supermom, for the littlest rockstar on the planet, Pierre Francis Maritz.

Please feel free to contact us with questions, recipes, results, pictures or just to say hello: email

Here we go again! With aprons on and loud music in the background. For a while there, following the success of our first baking book, we felt like a rock band that, after making it big with their first album, struggles with material for the second. However, once we started going through all the recipes weve gathered over the years we realized that it was rather what NOT to include that became the problem.

As with Cakes to Celebrate Love and Life, we have concentrated on baking and, while there are still many cakes and sweet things, we have also included some savoury bakes, breads, tarts and pies. In some instances we cheated a bit, but while the recipe might not strictly call for baking, flour in some or other form is still the central theme. Like Cakes, this book remains mainly a compilation of the recipes we use regularly in baking for our business, CAKEBREAD.

Baking in bulk and for large events and weddings remains a time-consuming task so you will find that we have adapted our methods to make for easy-to-use recipes, but ones that are still baked from scratch and are inspiring in their presentation. Gone are all those needless, cheffy, making-it-harder-than-it-should-be bits.
