Claire's Heavenly Cakes is a small home baking business in Brightwater, at 104 Ellis Street in Tasman, run by its owner Claire. Her cakes are made in a council registered home kitchen, which suits a made-to-order trade with a limited number of bookings. She makes bespoke cakes and cupcakes for any occasion, and the website lists birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, weddings, parties and office celebrations. She also makes luxury and gourmet cupcakes, and in the warmer months she sells the gourmet cupcakes at a local Nelson and Tasman market.
Claire says she has taken bookings from February onwards, after a break that ran until 30 January, so it is worth knowing that orders are made through an enquiry on the website. The site says flavours and designs are open to the customer, and that the business grew from childhood memories of helping her mother with a Nelson cake business called The Heavenly Cake Company, packing cakes and doing the dishes.
