About Us

Welcome to BakersWarehouse.co.za - a bespoke Baking Supplies and Creative Cooking home for Makers, Bakers and Cakers – this one was designed for Noobs, Foodies and Professionals alike.

If you’ve ever ended up flour-dusted, elbow-deep in cake batter, and wondering how many bowls one recipe really needs—you're not alone. This space was built for people just like you.

I’m a mom, a lifelong kitchen adventurer, and a fearless flavour-chaser. From baking homestyle cakes for hotel buffets to surviving the chaos of birthday parties with four kids and wild cake requests—I’ve made every mistake (and a masterpiece or two) in the book. 

My kitchen journey started in my grandmother’s kitchen after school, watching her turn her orchard harvest into competition-winning jams with the calm confidence and grace only years of love and repetition can teach. Her pantry, the size of a single garage, always filled to the brim with cookies and other creations from her kitchen.

That spark was fanned by my mom, who was always by my side during those late-late-night birthday cake marathons when things went wrong—and they often did. 

And now, I get to bake with my daughters, watching them grow from little helpers to confident creators, knowing one day, I’ll be the sous chef in their kitchens.

From baking muffins for juice bars and overly ambitious, wannabe-Martha-Stewart–styled dinner parties to experimenting with homemade bacon, Tabasco, cheese, kombucha, and marshmallows—I’ve chased my curiosity and cooked through the chaos.

And in every moment, the kitchen has been a place of connection, comfort, and creativity.

BakersWarehouse.co.za is a celebration of that legacy:    of learning by doing, of failing and trying again, of passing down recipes and traditions one messy memory at a time.

Whether you’re experimenting with your first sourdough starter or tackling your hundredth tiered cake, I’ve got your back.

This store is more than a place to stock your shelves or a quick fix for the party. It’s where you’ll find the tools, inspiration, and encouragement to try that new recipe, tackle that birthday cake challenge, or simply make dinner with a little more joy.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re the go-to cake magician in your circle, I hope this space feels like home.

I hope it reminds you that the magic isn’t in perfection—it’s in the process, the effort, the stories we create around food, the memories of those monumental flops, the awe in your kids eyes when you reveal their birthday cake. 

So welcome.  And thanks for being here. Please reach out if you need an ingredient you didn’t find. You’re part of the family now. 
Let’s bake some memories together.
