Hi, I’m Joanna! My passion for flowers and art led me to transform ordinary cakes into edible masterpieces. After running my own bakery and exploring various creative mediums, I found my true joy in teaching others how to craft stunning floral designs.

At Back to Basics, I make flower piping easy to learn, helping you skip the struggles and dive straight into creating with confidence. Whether you're just starting or refining your skills, I’m here to support your journey—let’s bring your floral vision to life!
