Cert III Patisserie

Hi, I'm Kate.

I'm a Cert III qualified pastry cook baking custom buttercream cakes and cupcakes from my kitchen in Melbourne's west.

What started as piping for fun turned into a little business I love, one celebration at a time. Every cake is made to order and made with care, so tell me what you're celebrating and let's make it beautiful.

Why Butter Bar

Trained, local, and doing this because I love it. Here's what you get.

Trained in patisserie

I hold a Certificate III in Patisserie, so the technique behind your cake is the real thing: a level bake, buttercream that pipes clean and holds its shape, and a cake that survives the drive home.

Real butter, no shortcuts

Real butter in the buttercream and cakes baked from scratch in my kitchen, never a packet mix. It has to taste as good as it looks, otherwise what is the point of a cake.

Designed around your day

Nothing here is pre-made and waiting. We talk through your occasion, your colours and your flavours, then I design and bake it for your date.

Gluten free, done properly

Gluten free is not an afterthought. Same look, same soft crumb, same "wait, this is gluten free?". Tell me your dietary needs and I will be straight with you about what I can do.

Kind words from my lovelies

Real reactions from Instagram, each one on the cake it was left under.
