Hi, I'm Kate.

Cert III qualified pastry cook, one-woman kitchen in Melbourne's west, slightly obsessed with piping.

Every cake is made to order and made with care. Tell me what you're celebrating and let's make it beautiful.

I hold a Certificate III in Patisserie, so this is trained work: real butter in the buttercream, cakes baked from scratch rather than assembled from a mix, and piping that holds its shape all the way to the table. Gluten free is no drama either, so tell me your dietary needs and I'll be straight with you about what I can do.
