Hi, I’m Cheryl Gillig, the proud owner of The Cake House in Pietermaritzburg. My love for cake artistry started when I was 14, thanks to my sister’s abandoned cake decorating tools, which I eagerly adopted.

Although baking was one of my passions through high school, it wasn’t until much later that I realised this could be my life’s work. Inspired by Cake Boss star Buddy Valastro and encouraged by my wonderful partner, Alan, I’ve built The Cake House to turn sweet dreams into show-stopping reality.

Whether you’re envisioning a towering wedding cake, a playful birthday design, or even a life-size edible masterpiece, I’m here to bring your ideas to life. Every cake I create is made with love, care, and a sprinkle of magic. I’ve been fortunate to have my work featured in magazines and on TV, but what truly excites me is making your celebration unforgettable.

Expect a masterpiece.

Whatever wedding cake you’re dreaming of—classic elegance, modern flair, or something completely out-of-the-box—I can’t wait to take this sweet adventure with you. Let’s create something beautiful, delicious, and uniquely yours!
