STORIES AND RECIPES FROM MY KITCHEN
Hi, I’m Nanette.
I’m a cake artist and recipe writer, baking my way through South African roots and Southern traditions.
Southern Protea is where culture meets cake—flour-dusted stories, tried-and-true recipes, and a little room to be creative. If you’re into buttercream, heritage, or both, you’re in the right place.
Thanks for stopping by—I’m glad you’re here!
