A bunny, a kitten and absolutely no intention of sharing the carrot.
With pink bows, little daisies and two party guests perched on top, this cake has a story to tell before the candles are even lit.

A little gold. A lot of ‘you made this for me?’
Delicate white petals, lovely little folds and a golden glow, made for someone worth making a fuss over. Because the best part of a celebration cake is the face of the person you’re celebrating.
Tell us what you’re celebrating. We’ll help make it cake-worthy.

Some cakes earn a place on the menu. This one helped build the bakery.
Since 2012, our Red Velvet Cheesecake has had you coming back, bringing friends and introducing someone new to “just one bite”. Your love for it helped grow our family business, one slice at a time.
Soft red velvet cake, creamy cheesecake and that familiar moment when the conversation stops and the fork goes back in.
Still every bit as wonderful as you remember. And if you’ve never tried it, we’d say an introduction is long overdue.

Some cakes are made to sparkle.
The bejewelled cake trend has arrived at Tessa’s, and we’ve given it our own colourful twist.
Think pretty pink icing, ruby-red swirls, a little lilac and enough jewels to make your childhood jewellery box jealous.
Because when it comes to birthdays, sometimes a little extra is exactly what’s needed.

Every teacher knows an Emma… and I have a sneaky suspicion my daughter might be one. 😂🙋♀️
The questions. The stories. The hand that’s always up. And that wonderful teacher who somehow finds the patience to answer it all. ❤️
For loving our little Emmas as much as we do — you deserve cake. 🍰💌
Say thank you with a Cake Mail.

Sometimes businesses change shape. 💗
After two years, we’ll be saying goodbye to our Riverlands store.
It’s always bittersweet to close a chapter, but after more than a decade in business, one thing we’ve learnt is that the world changes, and sometimes, we need to change with it.
Tessa’s isn’t going anywhere. We’re still baking, decorating and creating from our Milnerton home, and we’re excited about what the next chapter could look like.
Instead of bigger stores, we’re exploring smaller, convenient collection points across Cape Town, bringing Tessa’s a little closer to the communities we serve.
And we’d love your help deciding where we go next. 🩷
Which suburb or community would you love to see a Tessa’s collection point in? Tell us below. 👇
To everyone who has supported our Riverlands store over the past two years, THANK YOU. Every cake collected, every cupcake bought and every celebration you trusted us to be part of has meant more than you know.
Same Tessa’s. A new shape. 🎂✨

Have a cake idea you’ve been dreaming about? Send us your inspiration and let’s make it happen. 🎂💕
Made from scratch. Made like Mom’s.
