Chiffon cake for a birthday

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!

You supply the ingredients, cook and deliver to us in Richmond on Friday, or Blairgowrie on Weekend. But needs to be organic vegetables, high quality free range eggs and meat - we can reimburse the value of your receipts. The choice of ingredients is important to us. This suits someone with attention to detail, food hygiene, and timeliness. If it goes well, this will be a fortnightly repeat job.

Looking for someone to provide organic and gluten free meal prep - breakfast, lunch and dinner for 5 days. See attached image for desired daily protein/fats etc below. No seed oils or preservatives please and if using fish I prefer a low mercury type of fish. I am keen to avoid plastic containers so can supply Pyrex containers if that is easier. I’m happy to collect the meals or have them delivered to South Yarra. Happy to discuss what works best.


Lovely to deal with!
