Why it's worth checking out
The Baker Bee is a home-based custom cake business in Maitland, serving Newcastle and the wider Hunter Region. It creates cakes to order, with the website inviting customers to enquire and choose an order form for Vintage Cakes, Custom Cakes or Cupcakes.
The business is led by Stacey Ruhan, a self-taught cake artist whose interest in baking began with family birthday cakes during her teens. What started as an early creative project developed through practice and encouragement into a custom cake service. Her focus is on turning ideas into finished cakes made from her home to yours.
With its made-to-order approach, The Baker Bee is suited to people looking for a personalised cake rather than a standard bakery purchase. The online gallery can help prospective customers explore the style of work before enquiring, while the available order forms provide a starting point for discussing a cake or cupcake order. As the website describes the business as home-based, customers should contact The Baker Bee directly for details about their requirements and availability.
