Our story
Hi, I'm the baker behind Cake Daar.
Cake Daar started in 2022 in a sunny Cape Town home kitchen — the name a nod to "kyk daar", because that's usually what people say when the cupcakes come out of the box.
Every cupcake is mixed, piped and finished by hand the day before pickup, so it arrives soft, fresh and exactly the way it should taste. No ready-mixes, no fondant for the sake of fondant — just real butter, real vanilla, locally sourced ingredients and free-range eggs.
The menu leans into the flavours we love most: classic chocolate and vanilla, lemon-meringue-pie cupcakes, Biscoff, Ferrero Rocher, salted caramel — and the odd biltong cake for the celebrant who really doesn't do sugar. Bento cakes for small celebrations, three-layer cakes for the big ones, and dessert spreads for everything in between.
Cake Daar also bakes for Cupcakes of Hope each year, donating cupcakes for kids living with cancer. Every birthday, every party, every "just because" — they all deserve to be celebrated.
Ready when you are.
