What do bakers do?

Besides offering freshly baked bread, a baker near you can create custom cakes for birthdays and special occasions. Some local bakers even provide gluten-free and dairy-free bread, pastries, and cakes. Here’s what to expect when booking a baker on Airtasker:

Wedding cakes

You don’t need to settle for a plain cake for your wedding day, with a cake baker who can create an exquisite and delicious custom wedding cake in your favourite flavour and design. Your cake maker can talk to you, your caterer and even the head chef about your wedding location and theme, as well as guest numbers. Then they can provide recommendations on the cake style and size.

Most bakers also offer a wedding cake tasting session, so you can choose the flavour you prefer. They can also carefully transport your cake to the reception venue on your big day, adding fresh flowers or other decorations to polish the look and make it even more eye-catching.

Corporate cakes and cupcakes

Corporate branded cakes and cupcakes are a great addition to any event. You can order cupcakes for product launches, store openings, conferences, or even just as an afternoon tea treat for your staff.

Your local baker can also recommend you either order a large sheet cake to serve a crowd or enough cakes for everyone. You can even choose customised fondant or chocolate discs displaying your brand. Your hired Tasker can then safely deliver your cakes to your workplace or venue.

Kids’ birthday cakes

From the latest cartoon characters to fancy colours and shapes, kid’s birthday cakes can take time to get right. A professional cake decorator can first help you decide on a flavour for kids. They may likely stick with a simple vanilla butter cake or chocolate cake to appeal to kids’ taste buds. Some cake makers may offer set cake designs to choose from, or you can share an inspiration picture for a custom cake. 

Next, your Tasker can bake the cake, cut and shape it to the design, and then use buttercream for filling and icing. Depending on the design, they may use fondant for all-over icing and to create animals or characters. You can also request that your cake includes your child’s name and age on the cake or cake board. Afterwards, they can have your cake and other surprise gifts delivered on the morning of his birthday party!

Special occasion cakes

Baked goodies are often used to bring everyone together at the end of a celebration. Whether it’s a custom birthday cake, christening cake, or anniversary cake, your baker will create the perfectly sized cake or even prepare a whole dessert spread to serve all your guests. Common options include sponge cake with buttercream icing and a special message. Still, a more modern take can include doughnut walls, cupcake towers and dessert grazing boards.

Edible fondant cake toppers

Melbourne VIC, Australia

4th Dec 2022

Hey guys, I’m looking for someone who can make edible fondant Pusheen the cat, rainbow mini cake and little gift boxes (refer to pictures) cake toppers for my daughter’s birthday cake. Rough measurements for the large cat is 14cm and 5cm for the small one. The size of the cake is 4 barrel, 8 inch. I need it to be halal suitable and the only two ingredients I can think of that wouldn’t be halal suitable are gelatine and carmine/E120. Satin Ice and Bakels fondant is halal suitable if that helps. I’m looking for someone who’s made similar things before and has a great attention to detail. I’m located in Melbourne and if you’re interstate please ensure you can make it by Wednesday the 14th of December so it can be express posted to Melbourne (I will pay for this aswell). - Due date: Before Friday, 16 December 2022

I would like a cake made for my first wedding anniversary. We were married in Positano Italy so would like to stick with that theme. It’s only for 2 of us, but happy with a cake that feeds 10 or whatever the smallest that’s reasonable to make. We will eat it! I’ve included some inspiration photos. I’m happy to pick it up. Not too fussy about flavours, happy to choose from what you offer.

It's my partners birthday and due to everything shutting down we haven't been able to get her a cake. Am happy to pay a professional baker or pastry chef that's potentially had their business shut down to make and deliver a cake to north Melbourne by this afternoon. She loves red velvet or cookies and cream. If anyone is able to do this it would be greatly appreciated

Mei did an amazing job for a cake for my fiances birthday, would highly recommend her services! Thank you so much again!
