About Custom Celebration Cakes
Who I Am
I jumped from architecture to baking with nothing but my two dogs watching me try and fail and try again. That old architect brain still helps when I’m sketching up ambitious, multi-tiered celebration cakes. I love a good challenge - if you want something wild or classic, I’m in.
Cakes With Real Personality
The best part of this job? Being woven into families’ celebrations, from engagement cakes to first birthdays. Every cake is custom built for you - it’s not just dessert, it’s part of your party’s vibe.
- Elegant wedding and anniversary cakes with handcrafted sugar flower cake details
- Whimsical, personalized birthday cake designs for kids (think Peppa Pig, fairy gardens, Lion King)
- Bold, grown-up milestone cakes for those big birthdays
My Approach
Only ingredients I’d eat myself. I spend ages on flavor, so the cake tastes as good as it looks. Favourites include:
- Heirloom chocolate cake recipe with hazelnut, caramel, or rich mousse
- Summer vanilla cake with blueberry compote and lemon curd
Design & Techniques
I use buttercream for clean finishes but switch to fondant when structure needs it - never too thick. Wafer paper cake decorations are my thing for abstract shapes and modern looks. I love making sugar flowers and tiny custom figurines for that personal touch.
If you need a cake with real character - and you don’t mind ordering a bit ahead - I’d love to make it for you.

My Story
I’m Uthishta, and honestly, I didn’t plan to be a baker. I started out in architecture, but baking snuck in and took over. My first cakes came out of my parents’ kitchen, with only Breezer and Max (my dogs) for company—plus Heera the cat, who made us all cat people. Those days were full of doubts, but also family recipes and a lot of lifting cakes! If you know me, you know my animal crew and my obsession with a good workout before the baking storm hits.
My Work
Custom Cakes & Desserts - I make modern sculpted cakes for birthdays, weddings, and more, plus cheesecakes and pies.
Personalized Celebration Baking - I love baking for your milestones, from engagements to kids’ birthdays—your story, baked into every cake.
Artistry Meets Architecture - I enjoy tricky cake designs, using my architecture brain for tiered or butterfly cakes.
Sugar Flower & Wafer Paper Techniques - Sugar flowers and wafer paper are my jam—perfectly imperfect, just like nature.
Quality Ingredients Always - Every cake is made with stuff I’d eat myself. Treats should be top-notch, no compromise.
