Cakes, turned into edible art.
A wise bird, partnered with sweet flavours.
Hand-painted and made to order in Colombo. Every cake starts with a flavour worth remembering, then becomes something you almost do not want to cut.
Ways to make it yours
Cakes, desserts and gifts, each made to order. Pick a style, or tell us your idea and we design it with you.

Hours in a single cake
Some of these take the better part of a day. Piped lace, ruffles, buttercream flowers, hand-painted scenes. If you can picture it, we will try to make it.

It didn't start as a business plan. It started as a craving.
A tart in a Paris side street. A tiramisu in a Roman trattoria. A shortcake from a bakery window in Tokyo. You come home, you cannot find anything like it, so you learn to make it yourself.

The cakes were exceptional and, needless to say, a massive hit. Thank you for all your efforts, a beautiful and yummy cake.
Loved it. Beautifully done. And it tasted delish.
Thank you so much for my beautiful cake. I absolutely loved it.
Three simple steps
Choose what you'd like
A cake, dessert, gift box or a seasonal treat. Pick it on the order form. Not sure? We help you decide.
Tell us the details
For a cake, share a photo or your idea and the flavours. For desserts and gifts, just what you'd like and how many. We reply on WhatsApp with a quote to confirm.
Collect from our bakery
Once your date is set, pick up your order from our bakery. We need 3 to 4 days of notice.
Questions, answered
How much notice do you need?
Ideally 3 to 4 days for a bespoke cake, a little more for a detailed design or a busy week. Need it sooner? Send your request anyway. We do take last-minute and next-day orders when we have the time, and we will let you know straight away what we can do. We are closed on Sundays.
Do you deliver?
You can collect from our bakery inside Swiss Lanka Hotel School, No. 10, Maradana Road, Colombo 08, and we agree a time when your order is confirmed. Cakes and desserts can also be delivered through our partners Silver Isle Gifting (@silveraisle_gifting) and Shirohana (@shirohanaflowers).
How do I place an order?
Fill in the order form on this site with your date, size, flavour and design. We look it over, message you on WhatsApp as soon as we can with a final price, and confirm your date once you are happy.
How does the payment work?
Payment is in full, in advance, by bank transfer. Full payment is what confirms your order and holds your date for you, so please send it through at least three days before your collection day. Once we have agreed the details, we send you an invoice with our bank details. Quote your invoice number in the transfer reference and send us the slip so we can check it. If it has not reached us by then, we gently let the date go, so do send it through in good time.
How is the final price decided?
The form shows a running "from" price as you choose. The final price depends on your design, so we send a firm quote after we see your idea. No surprises before you agree.
What sizes do you make?
Bespoke cakes come in 1.0kg, 1.5kg and 2.0kg. If you are not sure how much you need, tell us the occasion and headcount on the form and we will help you choose.
Instagram is where our latest cakes live. New designs, the flavours we are working on, and every now and then a cake coming to life under the brush. It is also the easiest place to reach us.
