Caker
Made by Paige
Paige knows how special weddings are, which is why she put the utmost care into every cake she creates. Paige love offering unique and interesting flavour combinations that are just as delicious as they are memorable—because your cake should taste as good as it looks.
All her cakes are iced with flavour-packed buttercreams and decorated with a mix of fresh flowers, foliage, freeze-dried berries, homemade coulis, nuts, caramels, and curds. The result is a cake that feels natural, beautiful, and one of a kind.
