About

Elmari Greyling

Bespoke Baker, Owner & Creator

I am a self-taught baker, specialising in bespoke cakes, cupcakes, delicacies, hand-painted and branded as well as engraved Macarons. I have been following and living my passion since 2009. Prior to that, I was a Specialist in the field of the Development of Children, specializing in 15 areas and absolutely loved working with children every day.

I was born in a small town Bethal and still reside here, currently work from home and I absolutely love it. I pride myself in my work and my clients are based locally as well as throughout South Africa and Namibia. Each cake or Macaroon leaving my kitchen is specially designed and tailored to my client’s needs – not to mention every drop of love and passion that goes into it. I am a lover of life and animals and I do not believe in giving 100% of myself in my work – I am comfortable with giving 1000%! My favourite quotes “Be loaded with skills to the point that you are irresistible” – Unknown “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.”

Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well, that people can’t take their eyes off of you” – Dr. Maya Angelou- Always strive to be the best version of YOURSELF and if you find your passion in life, go after it with everything you’ve got. Dreams are placed in your heart for a reason. Go into this world and make your dreams come true.

Words I live by

Be obsessively GRATEFUL. Be fearlessly AUTHENTIC and believe in YOURSELF. There is no ROOF for DREAMS. There is no RULES for DREAMS. There is only a sky, with NO LIMITS!

Live life to the full!

Who made the first cake?

The first cakes are believed to have been prepared by the Ancient Greeks who baked round or moon shaped cakes or bread sweetened with honey to symbolize the moon. They topped the cakes with candles to please Artemis, the Moon Goddess.

What do I value in life?

Relationships, Ethics, Honesty, Excellence, Trust, Accountability, Consistency, Love, Creativity, Kindness, Purpose and Passion.

Some wisdom

Always be yourself, never try to conform to fit into the minds of people, let them see and appreciate you for who you are and what you can accomplish! As Entrepreneurs we have a duty to show the world what can be done. Inspire & educate and leave every place a little bit better than when you found it.
