Hi, I’m Bec.
I make the cake.
I’m Rebecca O’Hare, known as Bec — the cake decorator behind Sweet Exchange Cakery. I create buttercream cakes, cupcakes and celebration treats for customers across Brisbane and the Redlands.

One person, start to finish
You’re talking to the person making your order.
I run Sweet Exchange myself. I answer the messages, plan the designs, bake, pipe, decorate and pack every order that leaves my studio.
Keeping the business personal means I can pay attention to the details that matter: the right colours, a clean finish, a reliable handover and a box that looks considered when you open it.
I specialise in buttercream cakes and cupcakes, finished with my signature buttercream. I generally avoid fondant as a full cake covering, but may use it for smaller decorative details where it suits the design.
7+
years running a cake decorating business
Canberra to Brisbane
A new name, with years behind it.
Before Sweet Exchange, I ran my cake decorating business in Canberra as With Sprinkles On Top. Before that, cake decorating had already been part of my life for years as a hobby.
When I moved from Canberra to Brisbane, I relaunched the business as Sweet Exchange Cakery. Today I create buttercream cakes, cupcakes for celebrations, events and corporate orders across Brisbane and the Redlands.
More than seven years in business has taught me that experience shows in the finish, the planning and the way an order is handled — not just in the decoration.
My style
Buttercream does the talking.
Piped texture, balanced colour and a confident finish are at the centre of my work. Fondant has its place for small details, but I don’t use it to cover the cake.
