Who We Are
At Bakelicious Bakes, we believe the best moments in life start with something warm, sweet, and shared. We’re not just about baking — we’re about bringing people together through food that feels like home. Whether it’s a flaky croissant, a decadent chocolate cake, or a tray of just-like-granny-made cottage pie, every dish is crafted with care, laughter, and a whole lot of love.
We’re a small but passionate team — big on heart, generous with butter, and always chasing that “just one more bite” feeling. Everything is baked fresh, with no shortcuts, and plenty of soul. From casual cupcakes to catered high tea, home-style meals to showstopper celebration cakes, we’re here to make your everyday (and every celebration) deliciously unforgettable.
Because at Bakelicious, we’re not just feeding appetites — we’re creating joy, one bite at a time.
Our Mission
At Bakelicious, our mission is simple: to bake joy into every moment. We’re here to turn the ordinary into something worth savouring — whether it’s a Tuesday tea break or a birthday bash. With every batch we make, we pour in comfort, care, and a little bit of magic.
We believe in the beauty of homemade — fresh, quality ingredients, made-from-scratch goodness, and flavours that remind you of home. Whether it’s a buttery croissant, a rich chocolate cake, or a warm, hearty meal straight from the oven, our goal is to make every bite feel like a hug.
We’re not just feeding bellies — we’re creating connection, celebration, and smiles, one lovingly baked creation at a time.

For Tharina, baking isn’t just about the food — it’s about bringing people together, celebrating life’s little moments, and making memories, one bite at a time.
