Yes, the Regnier Cakes online store is still open, and I’m still baking!

Beautiful cakes for milestone birthdays, special occasions and celebrations are still very much part of Regnier Cakes.

You may have noticed the online range is a little smaller these days, with limited availability and a new, simpler pre-ordering system.

In this ever-changing climate, businesses need to adapt and evolve, and that’s exactly what I’m doing.

Behind the scenes, I’m creating a new vision for Regnier Cakes.

After 15 years in business and nearly 30 years working in baking and pastry, I want to put those skills to work in ways that go beyond just making cakes.

My passion has always been creating, developing flavours, working with beautiful ingredients and bringing something special to the table.

I’m now focusing more on creative desserts, pastry experiences and working alongside my events and catering business, Events on Citrus | Event Venue Melbourne.

Whether it’s a celebration at our Braeside venue, catering at your home or creating something unique for a business or special event, I want to explore what my experience and skills can bring to my clients and our local community.

Regnier Cakes isn’t closing. It’s simply growing in a different direction.

So please keep ordering your favourite celebration cakes online. They’re still baked fresh, in-house by me, using the recipes and techniques I’ve spent years perfecting.

And while I’m doing that, I’m quietly building the next chapter of Regnier Cakes, one that brings together everything I love about being a pastry chef.

Yes, we still do custom creations!

A little mix of custom sweets and charcuterie cups heading out for a client today.

While Regnier Cakes has taken a new direction, my love for creating something special certainly hasn’t changed.

Through our catering and events business, Events on Citrus | Event Venue Melbourne, we offer custom dessert creations, catering and complete event experiences.

And the best part? We come to you!

From beautiful dessert displays and delicious savoury food to styling, equipment hire and full event service, we can bring the whole celebration together at your home, workplace or chosen venue.

Sweet, savoury and everything in between, created with the same passion, creativity and attention to detail.

Because it’s not just about the food. It’s about creating the whole experience!

A week of inventing, creating and taste testing.

Definitely not a normal week in the Regnier Cakes kitchen!

Designing an entire range of cakes and desserts for a special client, getting caught up in a little Kylie footy fever, producing hundreds of desserts for a big event, and finishing the week making traditional German strudel for Oktoberfest.

Cake, pastry, baking, recipe development and plenty of problem solving along the way.

This is the kind of work I love. Taking an idea, a flavour or a brief and figuring out what I can create with it.

Nearly 29 years of pastry skills being put to the test, and absolutely loving it.

Simple elegance 🤍

Lightly iced buttercream cakes, finished with beautiful fresh flowers.

Sometimes a cake doesn’t need to be overdone. Beautiful flavours, fresh ingredients and a soft, elegant finish can say it all.

Made fresh, in-house at Regnier Cakes for birthdays, celebrations and those special moments worth gathering for.

Behind the scenes at Regnier Cakes.

Yes, this is really me piping every detail.

Every cake is created in-house by me, from baking and filling to buttercream and those final piped details.

No production line. No premade cake arriving ready to decorate. Just nearly 29 years of pastry experience, a piping bag and a lot of practice behind those hands.

This is what made from scratch looks like behind the scenes.

Sweet 16 perfection.

A vintage-style round cake in blue and white, finished with soft pink bows to tie in beautifully with the celebration.

Created to perfectly complement the high tea vibes at Events on Citrus | Event Venue Melbourne, because the cake should feel like part of the whole celebration, not just something sitting on the table.

Made from scratch by Regnier Cakes.

2026… THE YEAR I FINALLY STARTED LISTENING TO MYSELF.

After 15 years of Regnier Cakes, I’ve stopped asking, “What should Regnier Cakes be?” and started asking, “What do I actually want it to be?”

And the answer is pretty simple.

I want to create.

Give me a flavour, an idea, an event or a challenge and let me go.

I want to use all of it. The baker, pastry chef, chef, cake maker, teacher and creative.

I now have Events on Citrus | Event Venue Melbourne, my beautiful event space where I can create the whole celebration, but I still love taking what I do to other venues and people’s homes too.

So what’s next?

The online store continues with adult celebration cakes, seasonal Christmas desserts and custom cakes as part of catering and event packages.

The foodie workshops continue, with more ebooks joining my pizza ebook.

And early 2027, a whole new dessert and buffet range is coming.

Because I’ve realised my heart isn’t in just making the cake.

It’s creating the wow around the whole celebration.

Anyone can bake a cake.

Not everyone can create the full experience.

2025… THE YEAR OF TRIAL, ERROR AND FINDING THE SWEET SPOT.

If 2024 was about bringing Mel back, 2025 was about working out how to actually make all of that work as a business.

I tried A LOT.

More high teas and public events went up, but people weren’t booking them like they once had.

Then there were the workshops.

Bread making.
Hot cross buns.
Pizza making.

And they went great guns!

Apparently people would rather learn how to make the food than sit down and let me cook it for them. Who knew?

I tried a new cake range. It didn’t work.

But that’s business. You try things, some work and some don’t.

Meanwhile, the vintage cakes and number and letter cakes went absolutely crazy and became my biggest sellers by far.

There were quirky catering jobs, workshops, cakes, events and plenty of experimenting while I continued building Events on Citrus.

Without the wedding cake business I’d relied on for so many years, Regnier Cakes and Events on Citrus needed to learn how to work alongside each other and actually make money.

2025 was really about finding that sweet spot.

What do people want?
What do I love creating?
What actually makes money?
And how do I bring all of that together?

I was getting closer.

I just hadn’t quite found the answer yet.

2024… THE YEAR I STARTED BRINGING MEL BACK.

For a long time, I’d been known for cakes.

But somewhere amongst the orders, trends, COVID, rebuilding and simply trying to keep everything moving, I think I’d lost a little bit of me along the way.

2024 started changing that.

I met some truly amazing humans who challenged me, backed me, trusted me and pushed me into action, even when I was scared.

Clients I’d created celebrations for 10 years earlier came back and trusted me with another milestone. New clients started seeing what I could do beyond cake and trusted me with bigger events, handmade food, buffets and desserts.

I was back in busy kitchens being a chef again.

I had the opportunity to be a private chef at women’s retreats, creating menus around the entire experience.

I even started running my own workshops, teaching people how to make bread and pizza and sharing skills I’d spent years learning.

And I loved it.

It reminded me that before all the wedding cakes, I was a baker, pastry chef and chef.

And I missed her.

2024 was also the year I took over Events on Citrus by myself.

It was scary, financially tough and full of trial and error, but for the first time in a long time, I started making decisions differently.

I started doing it for me and what I wanted.

Not what I thought the business should look like.
Not what I’d always done.
Not what everyone else was doing.

I started bringing Mel back.

And maybe that was the biggest change of all.
