Under the Sea Adventures!

The little ocean friends are coming to life! I had so much fun creating this happy little puffer fish 🐡 and cheeky octopus 🐙 out of fondant for my latest Under the Sea cake.

Every little detail is handmade with lots of love, because it’s the tiny details that make a cake extra special!

I can’t wait to show you the finished cake!

A little taste of South Africa is coming to our sample testers!

Today I’m making one of my favourite South African treat Peppermint Tart! 😍

If you’ve never had one before, this is your chance to discover what South Africans have been enjoying for years! A creamy, caramel-filled dessert with a refreshing peppermint flavour and that delicious chocolatey crunch.

I’m so excited to share these with our sample testers and hear what you think! Your honest feedback will help me as I get Sweet Tarts – Traditional South African Bakery ready to bring a little taste of home to Texas. ❤️

Sample testers… get ready! 👀🇿🇦

And if you’re wondering what’s coming next… keep watching! Later we’re making Cremora Pie😋

A Little Taste of Home

There’s just something special about a good old-fashioned melktert creamy, silky custard, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and that taste that takes you straight back home.

I’m so excited to be working on these and I can’t wait for my sample testers to get their hands on them! I’m looking forward to hearing what you think and, hopefully, sharing a little taste of home with many more of you soon!

And keep an eye on the page… 👀tomorrow we’ll be making Cremora Pie and Peppermint Crisp Pie!
More delicious South African favourites are on the way!

Meet my happy little crab! 🦀

He may look all smiles and sunshine… but let me tell you, this little guy tested my patience!

Fondant has a funny way of making the simplest things take forever, and this crab definitely had me frustrated before I finally got him looking the way I wanted.

But in the end, he turned out pretty cute and thankfully, he doesn’t know how much trouble he caused!

Another little piece of this under-the-sea cake coming together!

Under the Sea Birthday Magic!

A little sneak peek at what I’ve been creating for a very special Under the Sea 5th birthday celebration! 💙🩵

My very specific customer—my 5-year-old son—has given me a detailed list of all the sea creatures that must be included on his cake! From starfish and stingrays to every other ocean friend he has in mind, I’m making sure his underwater vision comes to life.

I’ve been busy creating these adorable little starfish and stingrays by hand to bring the birthday cake theme to life. There’s something so special about creating every little detail from scratch and watching the whole design come together!

I can’t wait to see all these little ocean friends on the finished cake!

We’re still in the kitchen “baking” behind the scenes 🍰

I just want to let everyone know that Sweet Tarts is not quite ready to serve yet. As with every recipe it takes time to perfect, building our business is also taking some time! Behind the scenes we are working on getting all our permits ready!

I’m using this time to carefully build our online presence, test recipes, perfecting our packaging, uniforms and prepare everything properly before we start selling and going to markets.

Good things take time, and I want to make sure that when we do open, everything is done right, with love and quality in every bite 🤍

Thank you to everyone who has already shown support and interest — it truly means more than you know. We’ll be ready soon, and it will be worth the wait!

Stay tuned… something sweet is coming 🍓🧁

Hi everyone 🤍

I thought it’s time to properly introduce myself, I’m the face (and hands!) behind Sweet Tarts 🍰

I’m a proud South African now living in Texas, and baking has always been more than just mixing ingredients to me – it’s about bringing a little piece of home, comfort, and tradition into every bite. From the smell of something baking in the oven to that first taste that takes you back to childhood, that’s what I love creating for my customers.

At my bakery, we specialize in authentic South African favourites made with love and nostalgia, including creamy melktert, rich and indulgent peppermint crisp tart, golden karringmelk beskuit (traditional rusks) perfect for dunking in coffee, crunchy crunchies, melt-in-your-mouth cookies, and many more beloved classics that remind you of home ❤️

But we also love adding a little creative twist to tradition.
You’ll find unique treats like lavender cupcakes, where classic baking meets floral elegance, along with seasonal specials and creative desserts that keep things exciting while still honouring our roots.

Every bake is made from scratch, with real ingredients, traditional inspiration, and a whole lot of love, whether you’re grabbing something sweet for yourself, sharing with family, or stocking up for a party, we have you covered!

Thank you for supporting my small business and being part of this baking journey. I can’t wait to share more sweetness with you soon!

- Love, Your Baker 🍰
