Cupcake baking and decorating extraordinaire

About us

The Cupcake Lady is a family owned business and has been providing deliciousness to the people of Adelaide for more than 12 years. Our business has been built through a strong online presence where we initially specialised in high volume corporate orders and private celebrations. In 2020 we started trailing retail locations, and after great success we have now incorporated a full time travelling pop-up store into our business to spread the offering of our delicious product across Adelaide. We are now excited to be expanding our retail offering even further with some exciting new projects and are needing star bakers and decorators to join our team to increase our production.
