She was acclaimed for her baking, deluged social media with updates about her family and sought sympathy from friends for medical issues.
But that was just the side Brisbane mother Therese Butler, 48, wanted the world to see.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal how Butler presented herself as a simple homemaker mum - while keeping secret her role in a sick plot involving her teenage daughter.

Betrayed: Peta Butler's mother arranged for her to be raped by a stranger in about 2005 - 2006
Butler arranged for Peta, then 15 or 16, to be raped by her online boyfriend, known only as 'Thommo', in 2005.
He wanted sex with a 'younger version' of her, so Therese plied her daughter with alcohol and arranged a 'girl's trip' to Toowoomba.
There, he smoked cigarettes outside while her crying girl was raped in a seedy motel room.
The heinous crime couldn't be further from the image Butler presented to the world on social media.
'Tee's fruit tarts': Some of the 'yummo' cakes Therese Butler used to sell on social media before her arrest
She ran a Facebook page dedicated to 'Tee's Fruit Tarts', selling vanilla cream, meringue and red velvet creations.
Friends celebrated her 'yummo' baked treats and she would share updates about her grandchildren and success on Farmville.
She expressed joy about seeing old faces at high school reunions, updated mates about her medial issues and appreciation of the rocker Meat Loaf.
It is a far cry from the Therese who confessed to her daughter she had let Thommo rape her and outlined violent revenge fantasies about torturing 'Thommo'.
'Yeah, it was still rape,' she said in a shocking confession call to Peta that was recorded by detectives.
It had taken her daughter a decade to muster the courage to report her own mother to police to elicit the confession: 'I wouldn't have let him touch you if you weren't 16'.
Therese said she would change the past in 'a f***ing heartbeat' and detailed particularly graphic fantasies about getting violent revenge on Thommo.
'I'm going to kill him with my bare hands, holding a knife and slicing him from ear to ear,' she said, 'and getting him from the f***ing scrotum and slicing him up to the centre'.

She expressed remorse during the call - saying she missed Peta 'in the good and bad' - and moaned that no one would understand what she went through.
She claimed Thommo had 'promised not to touch you'.
'I was so f***ing weak,' she said.
'I had no mindset.
'I was degrading myself to the likes of someone like him just to feel something and I felt nothing.'
He would strangle her during sex 'to the point of not breathing anymore', she claimed, and would also film her during intercourse.
Butler was released from prison in October.
She had pleaded guilty for procuring a child for carnal knowledge and was sentenced to four years behind bars, suspended after a year.
'I failed as a mother. I f***ed up. I know that. And I hate myself for it.
'That's why I'm trying so hard to be the best grandmother I can be. I f***ed up as a mother and I never want to f*** up again.'

Officers are yet to identify Thommo despite a public police appeal last year leading to an outpouring of tips from the public.
Daily Mail Australia understands detectives have questioned Therese about Thommo in the past year.
Recently, she has returned to a quiet existence on the sunny Queensland coast with her partner, Jason Cantoni, and her pet blue heeler.
She only had bile and false statements about her daughter when Daily Mail Australia approached her at home this past week.
'Do you believe a little sl- ...' she said, before correcting herself, 'a woman who was raped by her (relative)?'
'She was raped by (a relative) when she was 14,' she claimed. (Peta said the claim was '100% untrue' and her mother was 'just making up lies'.)
She was stumped when asked if she knew the true identity of Thommo.
'You want my side of the story, talk to my cop,' she said, clutching a bottle of cordial and demanding to be left alone.
Therese then unleashed on a news photographer, calling him a 'f***head', screaming about him taking an 'ugly photo' and telling him to go 'shove it... up your ar**'.
