Cake By Susanne

Let me introduce myself--I'm a proud mom to my wonderful 9-year-old son and the wife of a hardworking husband (because someone has to keep the lights on!). The journey of starting my cake business was somewhat unexpected. I spent many years as a project manager in the finance sector, but during my maternity leave, I rediscovered my love for food and baking. What began as a small venture from home blossomed into something remarkable, with my first wedding cake being featured in Sydney Brides and Cosmopolitan Brides. In 2015, I took the leap and opened my first cake shop in Gladesville, Sydney.

My Gladesville location quickly became a beloved destination for wedding and celebration cakes, and our team expanded to seven talented staff members, producing nearly 1000 cakes each year. We catered to some of Sydney's top wedding venues and received recognition in several wedding magazines and media outlets, including a cover feature in Modern Wedding Magazine, collaborations with Vera Wang, and an appearance on Channel 7's Morning Show.

However, in late 2017, my father's cancer diagnosis prompted my family to relocate to Brisbane to be closer to my parents. Tragically, my dad passed away in May 2019. Family means everything to me, and after taking some time to reflect, I found myself drawn back to what I love--creating cakes. This passion led to the establishment of "Cake By Susanne." We specialize in crafting exquisite custom cakes from our fully registered and insured private studio in North Lakes, focusing on naked, buttercream, and fondant designs. Each week, we bake our cakes fresh using only the finest ingredients, and I personally ensure they are decorated on the day they are delivered, with careful attention to detail.
