Highly recommend Eliza.

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!

Prepare some simple meals / snacks for our freezer. This will help our family get through our busy schedules. Cooked & Frozen - egg & vegetable breakfast tarts x 6 - egg & bacon & veg breakfast tarts x 6 - capsicum & onion sauce x 6 portions - wilted greens x 4 serves - chicken & veg soup - 6 serves Frozen Uncooked - Chicken & veg burgers x 6 We will supply the recipes. You supply the ingredients, cook and deliver to us in Richmond on Friday, or Blairgowrie on Weekend. But needs to be organic vegetables, high quality free range eggs and meat - we can reimburse the value of your receipts. The choice of ingredients is important to us. This suits someone with attention to detail, food hygiene, and timeliness. If it goes well, this will be a fortnightly repeat job. Price excludes ingredients, will reimburse you for the cost of these on top of the task price.
Connie was awesome. Clear communication, punctual, clean and asked questions when the details of the task weren't clear. Best of all our meals tasted great. 100% would hire again!
