🎯 Bullseye for Liam’s 30th! 🎂

A cake made for someone who clearly knows how to hit the target!

This darts-themed 30th birthday cake features a full dartboard on top, handmade darts and a personalised scoreboard-style design for Liam on the front.

Simple, bold and completely tailored to the birthday boy — exactly what a milestone cake should be.

Happy 30th Birthday, Liam! 🎉🎯

Got a hobby, sport or obsession you’d love turned into a cake? We love creating designs that are personal to the person celebrating.

🐄 Holy cow… Dani is 21! 🤍🖤

Sometimes a simple design makes the biggest statement!

This black and white cow-print cake was kept clean and classic with piped buttercream borders and those bold cow spots taking centre stage.

A fun way to celebrate a milestone birthday without going over the top — and we love how striking the monochrome design turned out.

Happy 21st Birthday, Dani! 🥂🎂

🎣 85 years young and still hooked on the good stuff! 🐟

This birthday cake was created for someone with a love of fishing, the outdoors and a little adventure.

From the fisherman sitting in his boat to the waves, fish, trees and cruise ship in the background, we brought together some of his favourite things to make the cake personal to him.

And at 85, we think that deserves a pretty special cake! 🎂💙

Happy 85th Birthday, Eddie! We hope you had a fantastic celebration.

☕ You asked, we listened — DECAF is here!

We’ve had quite a few customers asking if we could offer decaf coffee, so we’ve added it to the lineup. 🙌

We’re now using Jungle Coffee Decaf, so you can still enjoy your favourite coffee without the caffeine.

Flat white, latte, cappuccino, long black… just ask us to make yours decaf. ☕🤎

Because sometimes you want the coffee without the “why am I still awake at midnight?” part. 😂

🏀⚽ I think I’ve found one of my new favourite moulds! 🏈⚾

This sports ball mould is seriously good. It’s designed for chocolate, but I decided to try it with gumpaste instead — and I love how they turned out!

Once they’d dried, I painted in all the details to turn them into basketballs, soccer balls, baseballs, volleyballs and footballs. Such an easy way to get a really neat, consistent shape without modelling every ball from scratch.

Definitely one of those moulds I can see myself reaching for again and again — especially with how many sports-themed cakes we make!

Would you have thought these came out of a chocolate mould? 🎂
