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!!

I’I already have all the ingredients — I’m just looking for someone to come and cook my meal prep and portion it into Tupperware containers. This is for 2 people, and all recipes and portion sizes have been provided by a nutritionist, so it’s important that the meals are prepared and divided according to the exact amounts given. What I’m needing help with: • Cook the meals using the ingredients I’ve supplied • Follow the nutritionist’s recipes and portion guidelines • Portion the meals into containers with the correct measurements • Leave the kitchen tidy afterwards This will be done in my home, and all equipment and containers will be provided. Please let me know if you have experience with meal prep or home cooking. Thanks so much!

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!

Looking for a reliable cook to prepare healthy meals for the week every Sunday. I have a specific meal plan I need to follow — cooking for 1 person. I’ll give the meal plan to you.

Open to either: - You doing the grocery shopping (happy to pay extra for your time), or - I can supply all ingredients in advance Happy for you to cook in my kitchen or yours (and bring the meals over).

Amazing work!! Amazing communication and food looks amazing
