Meet the baker

Hi, I’m Bec.

I’m the baker and decorator behind Sweet Exchange Cakery. It started at my own kitchen bench, baking for family birthdays and school events because I wanted treats that felt personal rather than picked up off a shelf. Friends started asking, then friends of friends, and it grew from there.

I’ve kept the business deliberately small and home-based so I can stay hands-on. Every order is accepted, baked, decorated and packed by me, which means I take a limited number of orders each week — and that is the point. It keeps the standard where I want it and keeps the conversation direct between you and the person actually making your treats.

Today the focus is cupcakes, mini cupcakes, cake pops and cakesicles for birthdays, baby showers, weddings, workplace events and everyday thank-yous across the Redlands and Brisbane.

Handmade, baked to order

How your order is actually made.

  1. 1. Your order request

    You send through flavours, quantities, your date and any design inspiration. Availability is confirmed before anything is locked in, with a minimum of seven days' notice on every order.

  2. 2. Baked to order

    Nothing is pre-made or held in a display case. Your cupcakes, cake pops and cakesicles are baked in small batches in the days before your celebration.

  3. 3. Hand finished

    Every swirl, drizzle, sprinkle and topper is applied by hand, matched to the colours, theme or branding you've chosen.

  4. 4. Pickup or delivery

    Orders are boxed for safe transport and collected from the Redland Bay studio by appointment, or delivered within the quoted local area.

Ingredients & standards

I bake with real butter, full-cream dairy, fresh eggs and quality chocolate rather than cheap substitutes. Buttercream is made fresh for each order, never carried over between weeks.

  • Small batches only, so nothing sits waiting for an order.
  • Fillings, ganache and buttercream made in-house from scratch.
  • Designs matched to your chosen colours, theme or branding.
The studio

A registered home-based cake studio in Redland Bay.

Everything is made in my dedicated home baking studio in Redland Bay, Queensland — a small, controlled space set up for careful batch baking and hand decorating, not a commercial production line or shopfront.

Because it is a home-based food business, it is registered and inspected under Queensland food safety requirements. Studio pickup is available by appointment once your order is confirmed.

Gluten-free orders are prepared with dedicated equipment and every reasonable precaution, but the studio is not an allergen-free environment. Full details, including how to order for coeliac guests, are on the dietary and allergen page.

Local service area

Redland Bay pickup, with local delivery nearby.

Most orders are collected from the Redland Bay studio by appointment. Local delivery is quoted per order across the Redlands, bayside and greater Brisbane, Logan and the northern Gold Coast where currently offered, based on your date, quantity and how the order needs to travel. Special arrangements can often be made for larger events.

Pickup & delivery details

Small celebrations to large events

From a boxed dozen to a full event order.

Orders range from a single boxed dozen to several hundred pieces for weddings, workplaces and community events. Larger runs are staged over a few days so the baking and decorating hold their standard, so they need a longer lead time than the standard seven days.

  • Birthdays
  • Baby showers
  • Weddings
  • Workplace events
  • Staff appreciation
  • Client gifts
  • Awareness campaigns
  • School & community events
  • Branded corporate orders

Thank you

Made for the moments people remember

Every order that leaves the studio is going to someone’s birthday, engagement, new baby or last day at work. I take that seriously, which is why each box is checked by hand before it goes out. Thank you for letting a small Redland Bay studio be part of your celebration.
