Amy's artistic cake and cupcakes designs were incredible and exceeded all expectations! She was able to create the mental image I described to her perfectly for my son's 1st birthday cake, and even sourced a hard to find ingredient. Good communication and super trustworthy....I'd recommend her for any event you want catering for. Thank you!!

Chiffon cake for a birthday

$5

Prahran VIC 3181, Australia

Looking for someone who can make a nice chiffon cake for my partner’s birthday. Nothing over the top, just light, fluffy and tasty. Something that can feed about 4 people I think maybe 6". Happy with classic flavours (vanilla, orange, earl gray, pandan, etc.) but open to ideas. Bonus points if it looks simple and elegant – not too fancy. Need it by 3rd october.

Absolutely fantastic! The chiffon cake was light, fluffy and delicious!!! you can tell it was made with care. Everything was smooth from start to finish: punctual, great communication and a genuinely lovely person to deal with. Highly recommend!
