Why Sky Cakes
Not a cake off a shelf
Every order is designed from scratch around your occasion, baked in small numbers each week so nothing is rushed and nothing is frozen.
Baked the week of your date
No freezer stock. Cakes are baked in the days before your celebration and finished on the morning — so the sponge is still soft when you cut it.
Finished properly
Level tiers, sharp edges, hand-placed toppers and a last check before anything leaves the kitchen. The details are the whole job.
Collect or delivered
Collect from Cosmo City, or arrange delivery around Johannesburg. Tiered cakes are stacked and set up on site so they arrive standing straight.
Recent work
A few we're proud of
A handful of recent cakes — birthdays, milestones, a wedding and the chocolate fudge that keeps people coming back.
What we bake
The range
Everything is made to order, so treat these as starting points rather than a fixed menu — if what you want isn't here, ask.
Character & Kids Cakes
Bluey, Mickey, Lightning McQueen, unicorns — whatever they're obsessed with this year, built in buttercream with matching toppers and balloon clusters.
Milestone Cakes
21sts, 30ths, 40ths and every grown-up celebration in between. Gold leaf, ginkgo shards, pampas, edible photo prints and hand-painted detail.
Wedding & Engagement
Draped fondant, sugar florals and metallic accents designed around your palette. Tastings available so you choose your flavours with confidence.
Celebration & Occasion
Christenings, new homes, anniversaries, promotions, baby showers — softer, floral designs with a hand-lettered message on top.
Signature Chocolate
The house speciality: a twelve-layer chocolate fudge cake, wrapped in smooth ganache. Deep, rich and dense — the one people come back for.
Cupcakes & Treats
Swirled buttercream cupcakes, party packs and dessert-table extras to match your main cake — ideal for offices, classrooms and gift boxes.
Pricing is per design. Size, tiers and how much handwork a design needs all move the number, so every cake is quoted individually — send your idea through and you'll get a firm price back.
Behind the counter
One kitchen, one pair of hands
Sky Cakes is a small home bakery in Cosmo City. Every cake that leaves here is designed, baked, iced and finished by hand — not assembled from parts, and never made in a hurry.
That's deliberate. Taking a limited number of orders each week is what makes it possible to sit with a design until it's right, to redo an edge that isn't sharp enough, and to answer your messages properly instead of sending a price list and disappearing.
Most of the work comes from people who have ordered before, or from someone who saw a cake at a party and asked who made it. That's the whole marketing plan, and it only works if every single cake is worth talking about.
"If it's not good enough for my own family's table, it doesn't go out the door."
How ordering works
From message to candles
Four steps, and the first one is just a WhatsApp. No forms, no deposit until you're happy with the design.
1
Tell us about it
Send a WhatsApp with the occasion, the date, roughly how many people and any inspiration you've saved.
2
We design & quote
You get a concept and a firm price back. Tweak the colours, the topper, the flavours — as many rounds as it takes.
3
Confirm your date
A deposit locks the date into the diary. Weekends and December book out early, so the sooner the better.
4
Baked & handed over
Baked fresh in the days before, finished the morning of, then collected from Cosmo City or delivered to your venue.

Good to know
Questions, answered
How far in advance should I order?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most cakes, and it gives us time to get toppers made. Weddings and larger tiered cakes are better booked a month or more ahead. December and matric-dance season fill up fastest — if your date is in that window, ask early.
How much will my cake cost?
It depends on size, tiers and how much handwork the design needs — a single-tier buttercream cake and a three-tier gold-leaf showpiece are very different jobs. Send through your idea, the date and rough guest numbers on WhatsApp and you'll get a firm quote back.
Do you deliver?
Collection is from Cosmo City, Johannesburg. Delivery around Johannesburg can be arranged for an extra fee based on distance — just mention your venue when you enquire, and tiered cakes are set up on site.
What flavours can I choose?
The house speciality is the twelve-layer chocolate fudge, and vanilla, red velvet, caramel and lemon are all regulars. If you have something else in mind, ask — most requests are doable.
Can you match a picture I've seen online?
Usually, yes. Send it through and you'll get an honest answer about what's achievable and what would need adjusting — every baker's hand is a little different, so expect your cake to be inspired by the reference rather than an identical copy.
How do I secure my date?
A deposit confirms the booking, with the balance settled before collection or delivery. The date isn't held until the deposit is in, so if your celebration is close, don't wait on it.
