About Us

Beautiful cakes begin with quality ingredients, thoughtful design and a genuine love of creating something unforgettable.

At Tasty Bakes & Wedding Cakes, I create bespoke wedding cakes, celebration cakes and handcrafted desserts for clients across Adelaide, McLaren Vale, the Fleurieu Peninsula and Adelaide Hills. Whether you’re planning an elegant wedding, a milestone birthday, a corporate event or or a celebration that’s uniquely yours, every creation is individually designed and baked from scratch to reflect your style and celebration.

Based in the beautiful market town of Willunga, many of my wedding couples plan their South Australian celebrations from interstate or overseas. Wherever you’re planning from, I aim to make the process straightforward, enjoyable and completely personal.

Everything is baked fresh to order using quality ingredients, house-made curds, jams and fillings, with no packet mixes or shortcuts. Beautiful design is only half the story. Exceptional flavour is just as important.

As a registered, insured and council-approved business, and an accredited member of ACADA, ACDN and CDASA, I’m committed to creating wedding cakes and celebration cakes with the same craftsmanship, creativity and attention to detail that have earned Tasty Bakes & Wedding Cakes its reputation.

Our

Story

Like many cake businesses, mine began in a home kitchen, making birthday cakes for family and friends. Frustrated by the lack of flavour and quality in shop-bought cakes, I started creating my own recipes from scratch, determined that cakes could look beautiful without compromising on taste.

Encouraged by family and friends, what started as a hobby quickly grew into something much bigger. After being disappointed with our own shop-bought wedding cake, I realised I wanted to create cakes that looked beautiful, tasted incredible and were a genuine part of people’s celebrations. Tasty Bakes & Wedding Cakes officially launched in February 2011.

Since then, the business has grown from local markets and food fairs to creating bespoke wedding cakes, celebration cakes and dessert tables for clients across Adelaide, McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula. Every cake is still baked from scratch using the same philosophy that inspired it all: beautiful design, exceptional flavour and genuine attention to detail.

In 2014, my family and I relocated from the UK to Willunga in South Australia, where I rebuilt the business from the ground up. Since then, I’ve designed and built my own purpose-built cake kitchen, become a council-approved and fully insured business, and been fortunate to receive recognition both locally and internationally for my work.

Today, I continue to create bespoke cakes for weddings, celebrations and corporate events, while also enjoying opportunities to demonstrate techniques, mentor fellow decorators and share the skills I’ve developed over many years in the industry. Whether I’m creating a simple birthday cake, an intricate sugar flower arrangement or a one-of-a-kind wedding centrepiece, every project receives the same care, craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Awards & Recognition

Recognised for Creativity, Craftsmanship and Excellence

Creating beautiful cakes for my clients will always be the greatest reward, but it has also been an honour to have my work recognised by both the local business community and the cake industry internationally.

International Recognition - ACADA Australasian Cake Oscar Awards

ICSA 2026 Haute Couture Wedding Cake Designer of the Year – International Top 10 Finalist

In 2026, I was selected as one of just ten finalists worldwide in the International Cake Show Australia Haute Couture Wedding Cake Designer of the Year competition.

My competition piece, The Journey, was inspired by the union of two cultures, combining the warmth and vibrancy of Spanish heritage with the elegance of a Swiss winter wedding. Standing over one metre tall, the design showcased intricate sugar artistry, handcrafted architectural elements and advanced technical skills.

Being recognised alongside some of the world’s most talented cake artists was an incredible honour and reflects the creativity, innovation and craftsmanship that goes into every cake I create.

We really appreciate the detail and that it was made to suit our family with our allergies. Gluten free, vanilla awesome. The design using one of 'dad's paintings' was the icing on the cake, making it some much more unique

The strawberry champagne tier and Baileys tier were delicious.  It wasn’t overly sweet, which I love. I just can't thank you enough for doing it for me at the very last minute. You are amazing. Kind regards Dave and Kat
