Birthday Cupcakes

$100

Ripley QLD 4306, Australia

8th Nov 2025

Looking for quotes to do an urgent cupcake supply for a birthday on the 12th of November. Needing 25 cupcakes! Had a baker but that's since fallen through. Needing them the day before (11th Nov) so that they can be taken to school on the 12th Nov. 6 year old girl, did have an idea for Kpop Demon Hunters theme but being so close to the date, may just need to be a standard design. Please note, these need to be allergy friendly cupcakes as there is a few people that have allergies. Possibly safer doing vegan cupcakes? Unsure however as this is the first time I've needed to provide for allergies. Allergies: Dairy, Egg and Shellfish

Private Chef for 2 people

$10

Westlake QLD 4074, Australia

27th Oct 2025

I'm looking for a chef to come to our home and prepare and recreate our wedding meal for our anniversary as a surprise. The meal won't be too fancy but a few parts to it. Southern fried fish, grilled veggies, mac and cheese and a dessert pie (pecan pie, blueberry pie, apple pie or similar) (it was a Nashville wedding). We have an oven, induction stove top and an air fryer and other basics. Please let me know your availability and rough cost and if you want ingredients supplied etc. It will be a surprise for my wife so we will leave for about an hour or so and come back.

Georgia did an incredible job recreating a surprise wedding anniversary dinner. Food was incredible and Georgia was so easy to work with. Highly recommend!
