Meet Kate
Hello! I’m Kate, founder of ProBuddy and creator of Thermablade.
I have been in the cake decorating industry for over 15 years, running my own successful cake business, Cake Ninja, and building a social media community of over 140,000 followers.
Over the years, I’ve had some amazing opportunities, including being a contestant on Channel 4’s Bake Off: The Professional’s and ITV’s The Big Bake. I have also created cakes for ITV, BBC and Channel 4, as well as spending countless late nights live streaming decorating cakes on TikTok, where I was proud to achieve the third-highest food based live in the WORLD!
The idea for Thermablade came about in the summer of 2020. It was 2am, and I was up late decorating a cake while juggling my cake business alongside a full-time job, which I’m sure many bakers can relate to!
I was going back and forth to the hot water tap trying to achieve that perfect finish, and I remember thinking there had to be an easier way… why doesn’t a scraper exist that stays hot all the way around the cake?!
In January 2022, I decided to turn that idea into reality, and that’s when the development of Thermablade officially began.
Since then, I’ve spent 5 years working on the design, testing prototypes and making improvements to create a tool that genuinely makes smoothing cakes quicker and easier.
I founded ProBuddy to bring Thermablade to market, and I’m already working on developing more innovative tools for cake decorators in the future.
It’s been a long journey from that initial idea at 2am, and I’m so pleased to finally share Thermablade with you.
Thank you for being a part of my journey!
