Baked at home in Hope Valley, made for your celebration

Our story

From a hobby to Adelaide’s custom cake orders

A custom cake is only half finished if it looks incredible but doesn’t taste just as good.

Avees Cakery began the way a lot of good things do: as a hobby. Baking for the simple joy of it soon turned into baking for friends and family, who kept asking for more. Word spread, and the occasional birthday cake became regular orders from people well outside that first circle.

People kept coming back and recommending us to others, not just for how the cakes looked, but for how they tasted. That shaped the business from the very beginning, and equal care still goes into developing flavours as into designs.

Growing the range

What began with a handful of simple flavours has grown into a full range of custom cakes, cupcakes and cookies, including the Sri Lankan ribbon cake, a celebration cake with real cultural roots that most Adelaide bakeries don’t make. Every new flavour and design has come from the same place: a love of experimenting, refining and creating something a customer hasn’t seen anywhere else.

Today Avees Cakery is a registered business serving Adelaide and its suburbs from Hope Valley. Orders are taken online and everything is made by hand: no mass production, no pre-made bases, no shortcuts.

The best part of the job

Seeing a customer’s reaction is still the best part, whether it’s the moment they first see the finished design or the first bite after the candles are blown out. That reaction is why every cake gets the same care as the very first one made for a friend, years ago.
