Wedding cake decorator needed – vintage buttercream piping
$80
Dernancourt SA 5075, Australia
5th Oct 2026
Hi! I’m looking for an experienced cake decorator in Adelaide to help finish a two-tier wedding cake for Saturday 10 October. I’m baking the vanilla cakes myself: a 10-inch bottom tier and an 8-inch top tier. I need help with white/ivory vintage Lambeth-style buttercream piping, similar to the attached inspiration photo, and ideally “Mr & Mrs Dingley” written on top. I can fill and coat the cakes beforehand, or discuss having you do the coating and stacking too, depending on your preference and quote. Ideally, I’d love it finished by Friday 9 October. I can discuss drop-off and collection arrangements within Adelaide. Please include your availability, a quote, photos of similar piping you’ve done, and how you’d like the cakes prepared before handover. I know it’s short notice, so I’d really appreciate the help! 😊

Weekly Sunday Family Meal Prep Cook
$220
Magill, SA
13th Sep 2026
We’re a family of four (2 adults and 2 young children) looking for a reliable, organised home cook/meal-prep person to come to our home each Sunday. We will purchase and provide all groceries, ingredients, cookware and storage containers. The aim is to prepare healthy food for the working week, covering family dinners as well as adult lunches. We prioritise high-protein meals, plenty of vegetables, healthy eating/weight management, and family-friendly mild-to-medium flavours. We enjoy Asian, Mediterranean/Italian and Western food. We don't eat beef; chicken, fish, prawns and other seafood are welcome. A typical week might include Greek lemon-garlic chicken with rice and roasted vegetables, chicken san choy bow, Mediterranean chicken meatballs with tomato/vegetable sauce, Thai green prawn curry, and preparation for a fresh salmon tray bake. We’d like to develop a rotating menu over time rather than eat exactly the same meals every week. The weekly role includes batch cooking approximately 4–5 family meals, preparing portions for dinners and lunches, packing and clearly labelling containers, organising food appropriately between fridge/freezer, cleaning the kitchen after cooking, and occasionally cleaning/organising the fridge when required. We’re looking for someone experienced with batch cooking, clean and organised in the kitchen, confident handling chicken and seafood safely, and reliable for an ongoing Sunday arrangement. We'd also welcome someone who can suggest healthy recipes and gradually take ownership of the weekly meal-prep routine. When responding, please tell us about your cooking/meal-prep experience, usual rate, Sunday availability and examples of healthy family meals you enjoy preparing. Budget: $220 per weekly session, groceries supplied. Sunday mornings, ideally a 9:30 am start, approximately 4–5 hours initially.
