About
Hi, I'm Jess.
I've been baking for friends and family for as long as I can remember. Jess Desserts started with a few birthday cakes for neighbours and grew from there.
Everything is baked to order in small batches, so each dessert is fresh on the day you pick it up.
- Baked from scratch, no mixes
- Real butter, cream and chocolate
- Decorated by hand for your event
How ordering works
Three easy steps.
Tell me about your event, I'll send a quote and design ideas, and your desserts will be ready to pick up on the day.
- Send a request with your date, guest count and ideas
- Confirm your quote and pay a deposit to hold the date
- Pick up your order fresh on the day
Kind words
The birthday cake was the star of the party. It tasted even better than it looked, and it looked amazing.
We ordered four dozen cupcakes for the office and they were gone in ten minutes.
Jess made our dessert table for the wedding. Guests are still talking about the lemon tarts.
Questions, answered.
Can't find what you need? Send me a message and I'll get back to you.
How far ahead should I order?
Two weeks is ideal for custom cakes and dessert tables. Cupcakes and cookies can often be done with a week's notice, so just ask.
Do you deliver?
Orders are pick-up by default. Local delivery may be available for larger orders for an extra fee.
Can you work with allergies?
Gluten-free and dairy-free options are available. All bakes are made in a kitchen that also handles nuts, wheat, dairy and eggs, so I can't guarantee they are allergen free.
How do I pay?
A deposit holds your date, and the balance is due at pick-up.
