Why Fikiz
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.
Simple, honest pricing
Base price is per layer — R150 for a 5 inch up to R400 for an 8 inch — and decor is quoted on top. You always see what you're paying for before you commit.
Recent work
A few we're proud of
A handful of recent bakes — birthdays, a baby shower, a bride-to-be cake and a box of buttercream cupcakes.
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.
Birthday Cakes
Buttercream drips, gold leaf, sphere garlands and hand-placed toppers — from a smooth single tier to a full showpiece with your name across the board.
Character & Kids Cakes
Barbie, unicorns, Bluey, Just Dance — whatever they're obsessed with this year, built in buttercream with edible prints, rainbows and matching number candles.
Baby Showers & Gender Reveals
"Oh Baby" in acrylic script, sleeping-bear toppers and sphere garlands in sage, coral, caramel or rose gold — softly finished and photo-ready.
Weddings & Engagements
Bride-to-be cakes, vintage piped hearts and save-the-date prints, finished with gold leaf, macarons and fresh blooms in your palette.
Cupcakes
Swirled buttercream cupcakes in gold cases — plain for dessert tables and office runs, or themed to match your main cake with butterflies and pearls.
Scones & Muffins
Golden buttermilk scones and bakery muffins — bran, blueberry and chocolate — baked in bulk for functions, church teas, staff mornings and shop resale.
Base price plus decor. Layers are R150 (5"), R200 (6"), R300 (7") and R400 (8") each. Themed designs start at R200, custom toppers at R120, and specialty flavours add R30 — so every cake is quoted individually.
Behind the counter
One kitchen, one pair of hands
Fikiz Bakery is a small home bakery in Richards Bay. 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.
Quality ingredients, elegant finishes — and nothing leaves the kitchen unless it's worth talking about.

Questions, answered
How much will my cake cost?
Base price is charged per layer — R150 for a 5 inch, R200 for a 6 inch, R300 for a 7 inch and R400 for an 8 inch. Every cake is unique, so the final price is that base plus decor: themed designs from R200, custom toppers from R120, specialty flavours add R30 and fresh flowers are charged at market price. Send your idea and guest numbers on WhatsApp for a firm quote.
How far in advance should I order?
Orders must be placed at least 7 days in advance. Late orders taken within 24 hours of collection are charged R200 extra, so the sooner you send your date the better — December and matric-dance season fill up fastest.
How do I secure my date?
All orders require a 60% deposit, with the balance settled before collection. The date isn't held until the deposit is in, so if your celebration is close, don't wait on it.
Do you deliver?
Orders are collection only from Richards Bay, with one exception: standard delivery to Boardwalk is R50. Mention your venue when you enquire and we'll confirm what's possible.
What flavours can I choose?
Vanilla is the standard. Chocolate, red velvet, carrot, and lemon and poppy seed are all available as specialty flavours for an extra R30. 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.
Do you bake anything besides cakes?
Yes — cupcakes at R30 for basic buttercream and R42 for themed, plus scones at R350 and muffins at R400 for 50 units. Bulk bakes are popular for functions, church teas and staff mornings.
