About Avees Cakery — Custom Cakes, Cupcakes & Cookies in Adelaide

Our Story

Avees Cakery began the way a lot of good things do as a hobby. What started as baking for the simple enjoyment of it quickly turned into baking for friends and family, who kept asking for more. Word spread, and what had been the occasional cake for a birthday or get-together slowly turned into regular orders from people well outside that first circle of friends and family.

It wasn't long before those orders became a genuine pattern rather than a one-off favour here and there. People kept coming back, and kept recommending Avees Cakery to others, not just for how the cakes looked, but for how they tasted. That combination is what shaped the business from the very beginning: a custom cake is only half finished if it looks incredible but doesn't taste just as good, so equal care has always gone into developing flavours as much as designs.

From Hobby to Handmade Business

As demand grew, so did the range. What began with a handful of simple flavours has expanded into a full lineup of custom cakes, cupcakes and cookies, including specialty options like the signature Sri Lankan ribbon cake, a flavour with genuine cultural roots that most Adelaide bakeries simply don't offer. Every new flavour and design has come from the same place: a genuine love of experimenting, refining, and creating something a customer hasn't seen anywhere else.

Today, Avees Cakery is a fully custom baking business serving Adelaide and the surrounding suburbs, taking orders online and preparing everything by hand, no mass production, no pre-made bases, no shortcuts.

Find Us at Marden Market

Beyond custom orders, Avees Cakery also sells cupcakes and cookies in person at Marden Market in Adelaide. It's the best place to try the flavours firsthand before committing to a custom cake order, meet the person behind the business, and see (and taste) the quality up close. Follow Avees Cakery on Instagram or Facebook for updates on which market dates the stall will be running.

Why Avees Cakery

Every order is designed one-on-one, not picked from a set menu. There's a real difference between a cake that's decorated and a cake that's designed specifically for the person it's for, and that difference is the whole reason Avees Cakery exists.

Seeing a customer's reaction is still the best part of the job, whether that's the moment they first see a finished design or the first bite once the candles are blown out. That reaction, the surprise, the delight, the "wow" is what keeps every cake, cupcake and cookie made with the same level of care as the very first one made for a friend, years ago.

Baking, for Avees Cakery, has always been a way of sharing something personal. Every design is a small piece of art, and every flavour is made to be genuinely enjoyed, not just admired.
