With over a decade of experience in the baking industry, they have transformed their passion for baking into an art form that tells a story through their exquisite cakes.

Darrel and Melissa have been in the baking industry for just over ten years.

What began as a small home project blossomed into a shared passion that exceeded their wildest expectations.

Darrel is captivated by the science and precision of baking, focusing on perfecting textures, flavours, and fillings while Melissa has found her niche in the art of decorating and design. Together, they have discovered that cakes can be more than just desserts; they can be edible art.
