From my kitchen Simmone Logue

During COVID, Simmone pivoted her business and has been busy expanding her heart-warming, country-inspired meals, pies and pastries into Woolworths supermarkets nationally.

This month, Simmone shares a recipe that kicked off her business. “This hummingbird cake has a very special place in my heart as it was the first cake I baked when starting my business,” Simmone writes.

“I foundmagazine that had been put out on the council area. As they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. This could not be truer as the hummingbird cake is still one of my biggest sellers and what I am remembered for most out of my whole repertoire. My customer’s children have grown up on it and now ask me to bake it for their children’s birthdays. A whole new generation of people enjoying the hummingbird cake! It has also flown all over the country on Qantas airways as a dessert in business class in the cutest little box, where people could read about my journey.
