We had a sit down dinner party for 13 at our place . Mel helped with Menu planning , came over to our place a day before to do initial preps and then on the party she cooked a wonderful meal of entree , mains and dessert.

Chiffon cake for a birthday

$5

Prahran VIC 3181, Australia

28th Sep 2025

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!
