Cake Buddies Treats & Sugar Crafts

No matter how fast you fill it, the biscuit jar seems to empty just as quickly if not quicker. Fill a plate with flavoured meringues, colourful macarons, sugar-coated Palmiers, nutty Florentines or chocolate-coated Cake Pops and witness how everyone succumbs to their allure.

We create sweet reasons to celebrate life and you will find many treats in our gallery that will evoke sweet memories of your childhood favourites. Some will be entirely new, for they have been created to appeal to more sophisticated, grown-up tastes, whereas others will make good company to a glass of Cognac or supplement High Tea. There is a treat for every occasion, whichever you choose, enjoy!

Sugar Crafts

All our sugarcraft is handmade here at Cake Buddies. We will also gladly create whatever you require for your own cake, regardless whether you are a hobby baker baking at home or a professional baking studio needing to shed some workload. Our sugar crafts have graced many fine cakes elsewhere, not only those baked here at Cake Buddies. Because of the extremely time consuming process, please order timeously for we do not carry any stock but custom make every order to it’s specific colour, shade and quantity.

 Wedding and Christening

For the perfect wedding you need a complimenting cake. In order to make this special day complete, your cake should not only match your wedding theme, but it should taste good too. Whether a traditional fruitcake or a tower of Macaroons, every wedding is unique. Like the wedding itself, thorough planning and preparation is of essence. Please don’t call us the night before your big day for we have not a single cake waiting on a shelf. All good things take time and to us the quality and freshness of the cake is more important than the value. We want to be a part of your special day!   

Due to the often multiple tiered cakes and finely detailed decorations we will gladly deliver your cake to the venue and set it up for you. We don’t want your wedding cake to become a smash-cake.

Unlike birthdays, a Christening only happens once in a lifetime. Why not treat this special day accordingly and have a cake created in order to end this unique day on a sweet note. As for our wedding cakes, please don’t wait until the last minute but talk to us timeously as our studio has limited capacity and everything is hand crafted. 

And then there is Christmas and Easter….

Something Different from Cake Buddies!

Need a Cake gift? If you want to give someone special an exciting and unusual gift, why not choose one of our great cake gifts? We have lots of cake-based gifts that anyone would be delighted to receive.

Whether giant flower Cupcakes, a small Cake-for-two or some super-sized fresh berry macarons, our Cake Buddies creations are always well received.

Chocolate smash-cakes, similar to Easter eggs, filled with treats and sweets are the “hit” with the younger and less romantic children.

Gingerbread bikini girls for a bachelor’s party, tutu cupcakes for a young ballerina and a (non edible!) novelty nappy cake with teddy and dummies for a stork party were just a few of our past requests. What is on your mind?
