OM koeke te versier is haar stokperdjie en, alhoewel sy geen formele opleiding ontvang het nie, kan Desray Britz enige feeverhaal of televi-siekarakter naboots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het al onder meer \u2019n Afrika-troukoek en selfs \u2019n taxi-eienaar se voertuig in suiker geskep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Britz het dit alles met haar kleindogter, Jordin (10) se eerste verjaarsdag begin. Alhoewel sy deesdae baie gereeld bestellings ontvang, bly dit, volgens haar, net \u2019n stokperdjie en geniet sy elke uitdaging wat na haar kant toe kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die sjokolade- en vanieljekoeke wat sy kunstig versier word alles met fondant bedek en getooi en alles is eetbaar. Wanneer sy kolwyntjies versier, kan kli\u00ebnte kies tussen fondant- of botterversiersel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het nog nooit enige opleiding in koekversiering gehad nie, so dit is maar \u2019n geval van \u2018trial and error\u2019,\u201d het Desray ges\u00ea. Sy het bygevoeg dat \u2019n mens baie verbeelding moet h\u00ea en dat sy elke moontlike koekversierprogram op televisie kyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOngelukkig is ek links en is dit vir my moeilik om hulle werk na te boots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desray s\u00ea sy verkies om bestellings drie weke voor die tyd te ontvang sodat sy baie tyd het om haar gedagtes te laat gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar word net soggens aan die versier van koeke gewerk, want die middae behoort aan haar kleinkinders, Jordin (10) en Aidin (7) wat by haar bly terwyl hul ma, Michelle, by die werk is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSmiddae is dit tyd vir huiswerk en speel ek taxi en neem die kinders na al hul bedrywighede,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desray het twee maande gelede afgetree as oggend ontvangsdame by die Victoria Manor-hotel waar sy vir 22 jaar gewerk het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk mis nogal die tyd by die hotel en al die nuwe mense wat ek daar ontmoet het. Ek het die lewe by die hotel baie geniet en sal altyd staal- tjies \u2013 soos die een van \u2019n besoeker wat sy troetelslang by ons vergeet het \u2013 altyd onthou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer Desray haar gedagtes oor \u2019n nuwe meesterstuk agterme-kaar het, neem dit haar gewoonlik twee tot drie dae om die koek met handgemaakte versiering klaar te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is \u2019n spesiale kamer in haar huis wat vir koekversiering afgesonder is. In hierdie vertrek is daar hulpmiddels by die dosyne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desray s\u00ea haar dogters, Natasha en Vicky in KwaZulu Natal en Michelle wat op Cradock woon, loop nooit by enigiets verby wat dalk hul Ma se stokperdjie kan vergemaklik of aanhelp nie. Daar is selfs \u2019n lugverkoeler in die \u2018versierkamer\u2019 sodat die fondant nie dalk kan smelt nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desray het al bestellings van Tarkastad, Graaff-Reinet, Queenstown, Port Elizabeth en Bloemfontein ontvang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
