Hi, My name is Katherine and I am the creator, baker and decorator at Cakes by Koo and Cupcakes Too. I started out decorating cakes and cupcakes 13 years ago but I'd have to say my love for baking started as a kid making mud pies on the driveway and sprinkling flowers from the garden on top. I then moved up to helping my mum mix the batter for "patti cakes" (that's what they were called in the 80'
s) and I have loved baking and decorating ever since. I undertook a community college decorating course and was taught decorating the "old fashioned way" (no cutters for sugar flowers). I loved learning the art of cake decorating so much that I completed many more courses across Sydney at some of the most prestigious cake institutions. For those past 12 years my cake decorating was purely a hobby while I worked full time. Always being encouraged by family and friends and after having my first baby and not particulary wanting to return to the corporate world........I started Cakes by Koo and Cupcakes Too. Whether you require a simple round cake with a single rose on top, or a 5 tier wedding cake covered in roses, Cakes by Koo can tailor a cake to your needs. All cakes are prepared fresh using only quality ingredients; Butter, farm fresh free range eggs, Belgian Couverture Chololate and fresh seasonal fruit. The high standard of these ingredients are reflected in my cakes. Already know what you want? Send a picture and details for a quote. Alternatively design consultations can be done via email, over the phone or in person. All cakes are priced individually depending on the size and complexity of the design. Although I will do my best to accomodate most budgets, please bear in mind that even the most simple cakes can take up to 5 hours. Super Choc Mud - a divinely, dense, decadent moist mud cake
Sweet and Sophisticated White Mud - Smooth, creamy and velvety white chocolate make this mud cake a nice alternative to the original choc mud
Golden Caramel Mud - golden syrup flavours burst through in the rich but not overly sweet caramel mud cake
Banana Mud - the aroma of fresh ripe banana oozes out of this moist mud cake. A must Try!!! French Vanilla - moist white cake with a fine crumb which can be coloured to suit your theme. Perfect flavour for childrens cakes
Tahitian Coconut - a deliciously light cake that oozes coconut. Lemon or Lime rind can be added for that extra island taste
Crazy Carrot - loaded with carrots and a touch of pineapple this cake is sure to make you see in the dark
Going Bananas - sugary ripe bananas make this family favourite a real crowd pleaser
Red Velvet - a Southern American classic chocolate cake with a dark red colour
Drunken Fruit Cake - packed full of fruit and basted with Bundaberg Rum, do not eat and drive after this cake
