AMAZING! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We had Ms R create our wedding cake at extremely short notice. It not only looked amazing but was hands down one of tastiest cakes I've ever ordered. Would definitely order again and highly recommend.

I’m happy to put together a mood board of meals we like and give you the macros to measure out. We are also looking for someone to help with the house - Change sheets - Washing - Vaccum - Mop - Bathroom - Wipe down surfaces - Empty bins It would be amazing if we could find this all in person and work out the best arrangement.
