Amy's artistic cake and cupcakes designs were incredible and exceeded all expectations! She was able to create the mental image I described to her perfectly for my son's 1st birthday cake, and even sourced a hard to find ingredient. Good communication and super trustworthy....I'd recommend her for any event you want catering for. Thank you!!

Weekly home cooked meals in my kitchen
$100
Wyndham Vale VIC 3024, Australia
14th Mar 2026
I’m currently postpartum and caring for a newborn, so I’m looking for someone who can come to my home once a week to help cook a few meals for the week ahead. Ideally I’d love someone who is familiar with South Asian cuisine (like rotis, dosa and chutneys) and comfortable preparing simple, nourishing dishes in that style. The focus is on healthy, wholesome food, particularly meals that are supportive during the postpartum period. All groceries and ingredients will be provided, and I prefer to use high-quality organic ingredients, so I’m looking for someone who is happy working with those and comfortable cooking meat, fish, and vegetables. What I’m looking for: • Someone who can cook several dishes in one session that can cover multiple meals during the week • Comfortable preparing healthy meals using clean proteins and vegetables • Able to work with ingredients I provide • Confidence cooking multiple items at once in a home kitchen I will generally prepare the menu and meal ideas, but if you specialise in certain dishes or have suggestions, I’m very open to hearing them. A housekeeper manages the cleaning in our home, so you won’t need to worry about washing dishes- just kitchen clean-up! Some cooking experience would be ideal — whether that’s professional training, a chef or baking course, or strong home-cooking experience. Each visit would likely take around 3-4 hours, and if it works well, I’d love for this to become a regular weekly arrangement. I’m looking for someone reliable, organised, and comfortable cooking in a home environment. Budget: $100 per session depending on experience. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please reach out and tell me a little about your cooking background.

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!
