I am looking for someone to make a custom birthday cake. I am happy for you to purchase the cake etc & just do the assembling & decorating, it's completely up to you, it doesn't have to be perfect. I can also send you 6 - 8 options (with pictures and the recipe / instructions for you to choose from) as I don't mind which cake you make out of those options, I'm happy for you to choose, it just needs to be one of the options out of the book I have. I can either reimburse you for the groceries/ ingredients required or I can order them online and get them delivered to you. I just need to have it done by approx lunch time on Saturday this weekend (04/07/26). I am in Brighton (Bayside, Melb, 3186). Delivery would be amazing but I can also pick up if required. It doesn't have to be perfect/ a professional 10/10 cake, they're expecting it to be home made/ not perfect so I'm not expecting a full blown professional outcome or anything, just don't have time to do it myself unfortunately :) Cost of ingredients etc separate. Needs to be made in your kitchen & need you to have the required utensils, cake tin, etc. I can transport it to the party in the afternoon if you can make sure it can be transported to me via pick up or delivery. Feel free to ask questions if you have any. Please make sure your offer includes all costs and your availability (day/ date/ time) and all details. Thank you! :)
