Small birthday cake for photoshoot

$100

Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

16th Dec 2025

I’m looking for someone to make a very small birthday cake for a photoshoot on 24th afternoon near the Sydney Opera House. This is not for a party or event, only for a birthday shoot, so the smallest size possible is perfect. It doesn’t even need to be edible — it’s purely for photos. If you can deliver to the Opera House, I’m happy to pay extra. Otherwise, pickup should be close to the Opera House area. I’ll attach a reference photo of the cake style with this task.
