Power Players Our Headway faves share their industry stories and thoughts on spring trends
Jordan Rondel
Out of an undying obsession with making cakes. I would get home from school every day and all I wanted to do was bake. In 2010 I created The Caker, almost by accident, but word of my cakes, which were completely unique at the time, spread like wild fire. Before I knew it I was taking dozens of orders and make wedding cakes. Fast forward nine years and we are a team of 14 in our pumping K’Rd bakery, I have three published books, a line of luxury cake mixes, and am looking at expanding the business into Los Angeles.
Your career “pinch-me” moment? When Pamela Anderson ate some of a cake that my friend had brought to a party she was at, and apparently she said it was the best cake she’d ever had!
Your go-to spring look? Levis or Dickies and a cashmere sweater or hoodie - I’m pretty casual, but I like to always do something bold with my eye makeup, have cool nails and interesting jewellery to take it up a level.
Your daily hair & beauty routine? Skin: In the morning I cleanse with Bioderma Micellar Water and apply a generous amount of Trilogy MoistureShield SPF 15 moisturiser. In the evening I cleanse with Eve Lom cleanser, followed by a gentle application of Alpha H Liquid Gold with glycolic acid and then I massage in some Bioderma Hydrabio Serum. I exfoliate twice a week with Aesop Exfoliant Paste. 120 headway.net.nz
Hair: I wash every second day with KEVIN.MURPHY ANGEL.WASH and ANGEL.RINSE and try to do a treatment once a week.
Your go-to spring look?
What’s a trend that you’d like to see less of?
I don’t really do anything with my hair, I keep it natural. I use a mixture of Barbara Sturm and Perricone on my skin morning and night.
I’m personally upset that I got a lot of my good jeans and pants cropped a few years back to show ankle. Now I want them to be long and do not want to see sock or ankle!

Curionoir Tell us how Curionoir was created? Curionoir was first created after I made some small candle keepsakes for guests at my wedding, while I was studying fragrance development. My good friend Kristine Crabb of Miss Crabb thought it would be nice for her to sell them in her store and the rest is history.
Your career “pinch-me” moment? Opening our perfumery on Ponsonby Road in Auckland. It’s been so wonderful to create a space with a sensory experience being the most important aspect for our guests.
While it’s still cold, a beautiful woollen coat over the top of my outfit.
Your daily hair & beauty routine?
What’s a trend that you’d like to see less of? Botox, fillers and plastic surgery.
