The Baker

Every cake is a little garden

Hi, I'm Aaliya — a Cape Town cake artist with a soft spot for petals, pastels and perfectly smooth buttercream. What started as a love of baking turned into a passion for piping florals so real you'll want to smell them.

Each cake is made fresh to order using silky Swiss meringue buttercream and quality ingredients — never mass-produced, never the same twice. I work with you to design a cake that fits your colours, your flavours and your moment.

From a quiet birthday to a showstopping celebration, I'd love to bake something beautiful for you.
