Get To Know Our Business

House Of Cakes had its beginnings somewhere in 2005, when a family friend asked my sister Farah and I to do a “cookery demonstration” in their newly opened store. That little ad-hoc demonstration was followed by a sale of cakes – mainly Love Cake, which was a family favorite. The response we received was overwhelming and that gradually led us to the idea of starting our own business.

We grew up in a large house where our grandmothers’ cooking skills were legendary. This paired with the constant flow of guests who came over for lunch, tea or dinner, meant that our lives revolved around the large family kitchen, where something was always cooking or baking. Our mother and her four sisters are all exceptional cooks, but our mothers’ forte was baking and hardly a week would go by without a cake being baked at home.
