Thank you for taking the time to view my photostream.
i fell in love with cupcakes a long time ago, and as an artist i was obsessed with painting cupcakes.
doing some research in early 2007 for pretty cupcakes to paint i stumbled across the (not very big at the time) world of cupcakes and i somehow got catapulted into it and joined the flickr community. I'm the first person in South Africa to start making decorative cupcakes and i introduced them to the now many South africans that are here on flickr. i now have a successful business which takes up all my time and who knows where that will go.
thank you for all the support that people and my close flickr pals have given me, i still remember the days when i could 'play' and think up new ideas,have fun, and take pretty pictures... those days are just a distant dream:)

"Zalita is beyond the realm of typical cupcake baker. Her work is art, and she has been kind and welcoming to a (mostly) frosting-from-a-can baker like me, who just enjoys her eye candy."

"Zalita is a wonderful talented artist and her cupcake with the tea set was the first one I delightfully viewed on Explore! I just had to go and visit her photostream to express my delight...and it is one of the best things I ever did!!
First of all I get so much enjoyment out of her creations...although she is often inclined to put in negative thoughts about them!!!!...and they are wonderful..to us all! Secondly..I get such a smile from the ideas..I can never wait to see what is on that day!
Zalita...you are a great friend to me...thank you for so much support and care to one who has not yet posted a cuppie!! I have appreciated you including me in your cupcake artists pool simply because you knew how much I loved seeing all the beautiful work..and as a result I have so many wonderful creations to enjoy! I look forward to many more photos from you..and as you have hooked me totally into this..I now want to learn it for myself ..my first one will be for you!
Keep up the wonderful work...and a big THANK YOU for all your encouragement and praise to me. Elizabeth :-)!!"3rd December, 2007

"When I first joined flickr it was Z's photos, that initially drew me to her. Then I got to know her and we quickly became friends. Not only is Zalita an incredible artist, she is also an incredible person. She is supportive of her flickr friends, which is clear in her honest, always thoughtful comments to them. She never shys away from those who seek her help and her caring, sunny personality radiates through her photos. She is a pioneer of the 'miniature decorations' with so many people now reproducing her infamous 'flip flops' and creating new miniature works of their own. However she quickly moved from flip flops to incredible works of edible art with her toadstool house, spring garden and castle in the sky cupcakes. She is so much more than a cupcake artist and I am truly blessed to have her as my friend. She is always here for me when I need her.
Zalita...wife, mother, artist.........friend."27th September, 2007

"I still remember when Z first came on flickr...so eager to make cupcakes! I couldn't believe the speed at which her talent soared........in no time at all (actually overnight) she went from being the "L" plater, to the "inspirer" with all her gorgeous creations!! Her attention to detail is unsurpassed & her gorgeous little creations are now inspiring so many!
Thank you Z for your talent, & for also being a wonderful friend, there when needed!"1st September, 2007
