About me

Hello, I'm the baker behind Koek Delights

koek say it “cook”
Afrikaans for cake.

I'm a home baker in Ipswich, and I've been making cakes for five years. It started as a hobby and grew into Koek Delights. I love vintage piping, heart cakes and themed cakes for every age, and I also bake South African treats like melktert and peppermint crisp tart.

Every cake is made to order, so tell me your theme, colours and date and I'll design something just for you.
