ABOUT ALYSSA’S KITCHEN

After 25 years in corporate and a significant life experience, I decided I’d follow my passion – making beautiful cakes and desserts and I'm loving it!

I’ve always loved entertaining and making things that not only taste delicious but also look beautiful. Being always the one asked to ‘bring dessert’ – I started experimenting and developed a passion for baking. I delight in seeing and hearing people are happy, enjoying eating all the things I created. The best compliment is being referred to as a ‘cake magician’! Whilst I had been cooking for many years inspired by my grandmother, I developed my Patisserie skills further by completing a certification with Le Cordon Bleu Cooking School, so I could deliver the best for my customers.

I look forward to baking up a storm and work my cake magic for you!

My smallest is a 4inch (round only) but usually it is a 6 inch (15cm) and the largest I make is a 12inch (30cm) I also do double height of any size and can do both square and round.

It does depend on the size of the slice by typically 6inch (15cm) 6 to 8 people, 8inch (20cm) 10 – 12 people, 10inch (25cm) 18-20 people, 12 inch (30cm) 25-35 people.

Absolutely, if it is not something I have done before I may need a bit more notice in order to do research. 95% of my cake toppers I had never done before, and always keen to learn to do different things.

Buttercream is butter, icing sugar milk and flavouring, which is usually vanilla, but I will do chocolate, coffee and lime, which goes on my lemon lime cake. Fondant is rollable icing. Both Buttercream (other than chocolate and coffee) can be coloured any colour, so too can fondant.

A true sponge is very light cake and usually served with jam and cream inside with a dusting of icing sugar on top. A butter cake is a cake based on creaming butter and sugar together. Buttercake has more substance to it and thus can carry more weight on the top. A true sponge is not strong enough.

Ideally 7 days but if it is a detailed and complicated cake, the more time the better, especially when there is a lot of fondant work as this is very time consuming and I need to schedule my work throughout the week(s).

Yes I deliver to Southern Highlands, however I will deliver further but is subjected to the delivery fee being more.

The only wedding cake that has ever been eaten in full! The cake Alyssa made us was DELICIOUS. All our guests raved about it and the bit we took home and shared with some extended friends was devoured immediately and everyone was full of compliments asking where they could get it. Even a few days later, when heated up in microwave, it tasted exactly like sticky date pudding. THANK YOU!

Alyssa was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! She was so easy-going, professional and very patient with us while we went back and forth (and back again!) on details like size and design. The tasting samples were all incredible which made picking our flavour the hardest part! We ended up going with a huge chocolate mud cake with white buttercream, covered in loads of fresh raspberries and it was DELICIOUS! Truly one of the highlights of the day! Alyssa also went above and beyond by providing separate cupcakes for our guests with dietary requirements, which we really appreciated, and they went down an absolute treat!!! She also took care of delivering the cake to the venue, which made everything even more seamless for us. Not only did the cake look beautiful, but it tasted even better. We’re very happy there was a little left over that we’ve stashed in the freezer to keep enjoying! We couldn’t recommend Alyssa more highly. Thank you so much for such a special (and delicious!) part of our day!

We got so many compliments about our wedding cake from Alyssa. It all got eaten! Everyone I spoke to said it was the best wedding cake they’d ever eaten. We loved it and definitely want to order another just to enjoy for ourselves. Thank you Alyssa!

I had a great experience with Alyssa! She designed my Dad's 80th space themed birthday cake and it was super cool! The cake itself was delicious and it was a hit with the party guests. Alyssa's service was clear, prompt and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

Alyssa did an amazing job on our wedding cake! Alyssa went above and beyond to put together some DELICIOUS samples for us to try ahead of placing our order. My husband and I had a lovely time trying all of the delicious flavours. Alyssa is so warm, welcoming and immediately made us feel confident in choosing her to make our wedding cake. Since our wedding day, several of our guests have told us how delicious the cake was and that they had several pieces on the day! Alyssa also went out of her way to write us a beautiful card to add to our wishing well as we didn't see her on the big day - what a lovely personal touch! We've popped some of our cake in the freezer for us to enjoy on our 1st wedding anniversary...if it lasts that long! Thanks again for doing such an amazing job. 100% would recommend to other couples getting married in the Southern Highlands.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Alyssa for making us a beautiful 3 tier red velvet wedding cake. It tasted incredible with not a single slice left behind at the end of the evening. The flowers were immaculately decorating the cake and matching our colour scheme. She even delivered to the venue. Cannot recommend here highly enough for your wedding cake especially if in the southern Highlands. Look forward to hopefully another one in future at an anniversary!

I ordered a cake from Alyssa’s Kitchen in the Southern Highlands for my wife’s 31st birthday, and it turned out absolutely perfect. I only gave Alyssa a colour scheme, flavour and text that I wanted, leaving the rest to her creativity, and she nailed it! The cake looked amazing, but even more importantly, it tasted incredible. The texture was spot on, and the flavour was perfectly balanced. I usually find fondant too thick and overpowering, but this one was light and complemented the cake beautifully. Everyone loved it! If you’re looking for a cake in the Southern Highlands, I highly recommend Alyssa’s Kitchen. Alyssa is truly a cake magician.

Alyssa made a stunning two layer orange cake with vanilla icing for my mum’s 80th birthday. We had fresh flowers decorating the top and down the second layer. It was a gorgeous vibrant cake and the colours were perfect! The cake was delicious and we didn’t even get a good photo before the bottom half had gone (oops). Alyssa thanks for helping to make my mum’s special day just perfect!

Alyssa made our daughters 3rd birthday party so special with her beautiful custom cake. We contacted Alyssa last minute and she was so accomodating and able to turn the cake around quite quickly, even adding a few special details to the cake on the house. She was also able to meet all of our dietary requirements and despite the cake being dairy and gluten free, it was so moist and absolutely delicious! Thank you Alyssa :) Would highly recommend!

Thank you so much Alyssa for our wedding cake! It was exactly as envisioned and tasted delicious. The gluten free cupcakes were also tasty and the guests loved them.

Alyssa, thank you so much. The cake is beautiful and tasted delicious. The birthday girl was chuffed with the design. A delicious work of art. Alyssa was great to work with, she openly explained what would work best for our group with cake size. She listened to my design ideas and then took the ideas and made us the most beautiful cake. We got an 8 inch red velvet cake with buttercream icing.

Alyssa was amazing and easy to talk to during our inquiries to have a custom made Persian Love cake (pictured in front) for our wedding, we felt at ease having such an expert by our side. The end result looked fantastic and our guests were definitely upset to hear there would be no seconds! We will absolutely love to order more and see what other magical delicacies she has on our next trip down.
