Formally trained — we bring the same care to our catering as we do to every cake.

Recipes in print

We've published two baking books, and the recipes we teach in class are the ones you taste.

Your design

Bring a photo, a colour or a vague idea and we'll give you an honest answer.

Tiered cake delivery

What we make

We quote every order by size, tiers and detail. Send us the brief and we'll send a real number, usually the same day.

Price list

Bakes by the tub

These are the ones we sell by volume, so the price is fixed — no quote needed. Order a tub for the office, a funeral, a church event or a house full of people over December.

About

Meet Chef Bobo

We started the way most good kitchens do — with one birthday cake, then a cousin's, then a wedding. Today, Chef Bobo brings qualified-chef training to full events and finely piped cakes alike.

We've also put our recipes in print. Baking with Chef Bobo and Cook and Bake are our books — so the banana bread in your box is the same recipe we teach others to make. We taste everything before it leaves. If a cake isn't right, it doesn't go out.

Questions, answered

How far in advance should I order?
We usually need about 5 days for cakes and 2 weeks for catering. Weddings and big tiered cakes need longer — but ask us anyway, because gaps do open up.
Can you match a picture I found online?
Usually, yes. Send it through on WhatsApp and we'll give you an honest answer on what's possible for your date and budget before anything is booked.
Do you do traditional wedding cakes?
Yes — we make umembeso, emahiya and matching cake sets regularly. Bring your colours and fabric and we'll build it around them.
Do you deliver?
Delivery and setup are available for tiered cakes only and must be arranged in advance. All other cakes, bakes and catering orders are collection.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
We offer eggless, halaal-friendly and reduced-sugar options on most items. Tell us up front so we can plan the bake around it.
How do I secure a date?
A deposit confirms your booking with us. We'll confirm when the balance is due, and we only hold dates once the deposit is in.
