First birthday photography
$250
Amy is just amazing, she has been in contact since We accepted the task and kept asking, suggesting then accomodating flavours, design etc. with us. Cake was so so delicious + she made it exactly as we told her. In short I am not finding words to explain and say enough thanks to Amy!!! Every guest in the party liked the cake, so no doubt I am referring/recommending her cake to another 30 families 😀 On top, she made animal cup cakes, and there were so cute which I couldn’t eat lot but kids totally loved it 😊 On top of everything, She charges fair price and provides excellent service and product. My experience is brilliant!!!! Don’t look any further 👍👍👍👍👍

Fast and friendly communication, quick action, timely delivery but above all... DELISH lasagna, even the vegetarian one! Amy went the full 100 yards by adding side salads with a beautiful vinaigrette and garlic bread... all kids have come back for seconds, all tummies are full, and we still have some left for breakfast tomorrow!!! (just the parents though, I vote that the kids had enough :) Thanks Amy

Cooking Services

What do cooking services include?
Home cooking
Want fresh meals in your home? Your home chef can either offer regular home cooking services where they cook multiple nights per week, or provide a one-off meal if you just need occasional help. Your private chef will ask if you have any food preferences or intolerances, how many people they need to cook for, and what appliances and equipment they can use. They’ll usually plan the meals ahead of time, purchase the ingredients, and freshly cook the meals in your kitchen, and then clean up before they go.
Baking
Want to impress your best friend with an amazing cake for her birthday party? Or perhaps it’s your turn to bring some baking to work for morning tea? Hire a pastry chef or professional baker to create a cake, biscuits, muffins, or something else tasty. They’ll ask you how many people you’re baking for, any flavour preferences, and any special decorations you’d like. Your baker will bake at their place and deliver the finished product to your home or office once it’s ready.
Dinner party chef
If you’re planning a dinner party with friends, why not hire a dinner party chef to help take all the stress out of hosting? Your professional cook will contact you to confirm the number of guests, what courses/canapes you’d like, and whether the event is formal or informal. They’ll usually prepare most of the food where the event is being held (whether at your home or at a venue) and clean up the kitchen after they’re done.
Specialty cooking
Cooking paleo, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free can be a challenge, whether it’s for yourself, a family member, or for an event you’re catering. Fortunately, many cooks are experienced with a range of different food requirements, including food intolerances, special diets, and allergies. When you hire a cook, they’ll choose recipes and ingredients that are suitable, confirming any dietary requirements before they get started. They’ll be careful to avoid cross-contamination if they’re preparing alternative meals for certain members of your family or party.
Meal preparation & planning
If you struggle to come up with meal ideas and always find yourself short of time throughout the week, why not hire a cook to prep your meals for the week? Your personal cook will confirm how many meals you’d like, the number of people, and if you have any preferences. They’ll choose meals that keep well and are easy to store, and taste great fresh or reheated. They’ll either prepare the food in your kitchen (cleaning up afterwards) or drop your freshly prepared meals off when they’re done, packaged and ready for the fridge or freezer.

I'm looking for a talented baker to create a stunning Cocomelon-themed tower cake for my son's 2nd birthday! The cake should be big enough to feed around 14 people. I’m aiming for a fun, colorful design inspired by the popular kids’ show, Cocomelon. The cake should be tiered (tower-style). Cocomelon-themed decorations such as the Cocomelon logo, characters (like JJ and his friends), and colorful accents (rainbows, balloons, etc.). Flavors: Please suggest options that would appeal to both children and adults (e.g., vanilla, chocolate, or something kid-friendly). The cake should be sturdy enough to transport and set up at the venue. Delivery to Williams Landing on 26th Jan before 1PM (or willing to discuss pickup details). Please share photos of similar cakes you've done, along with an offer. Looking forward to working with a creative baker to make this birthday extra special! Example cake images shared.
