Build stairs inside a giant cake
$250
Ferntree Gully VIC, Australia
7th Jan 2026
I have a giant wedding cake, brides pop out of it at their weddings. The cake is made of MDF and is very over engineered. It has an MDF base on wheels, pictures provided. The job has two parts- 1. Build some internal stairs or a ladder so that it is easier to climb out of the cake. 2. Make a lighter lid for the cake. The current lid is MDF and it is too hard to push the lid off, so just a circle is needed made of a lighter wood. Decorations and painting do not need to be completed, just the woodwork. Dimensions of the cake are- Height 118cm internal Width 117cm Lid 62cm

Meal Planning and Preparation

Glenroy VIC 3046, Australia
5th Jan 2026
I am looking for someone to help with my weekly meal prep and planning due to my workload and lack of meal planning skills. I am after potentially 2 meals a day, 7 days a week and snacks (flexible at the moment) for 1 person. I’d love variety and taking into consideration food preferences and calories/portion size. I’m happy to pick up depending on location, otherwise delivery is okay, and I’d be open to doing the shopping if provided a list (totally up to you). I don’t know what kind of price point these services would be so open to estimates of the weekly cost, and whether it includes groceries. I’m looking to get my meals planned and prepped for a short period, but potentially ongoing. Thanks!

Chiffon cake for a birthday

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!
