MEET THE MAKER
Hi, I'm Nadine
What began as a love of baking for family and friends has grown into Nadine the Cake Queen — a boutique cake studio based in Smiths Lake, near Forster on the beautiful Barrington Coast of NSW. Over the past three decades, Nadine has perfected the balance between flavour, design and craftsmanship, creating cakes and desserts that are as memorable to look at as they are to eat.
Her work is guided by creativity, precision and a genuine love for bringing people joy through food. From elegant wedding centrepieces to playful dessert tables and classic cupcakes, every creation is baked from scratch, hand-decorated and made to reflect her client’s story.
THE JOY OF BAKING
Where the best cakes really begin
With 40+ years of professional pastry and dessert training, and more than a decade creating cakes for celebrations as NTCQ, I've learned that the best cakes don't begin with a recipe. They begin with an honest conversation.
I love getting to know my couples — what they love, what inspires them, the details they've already chosen for their wedding and, of course, what delicious things make their tastebuds happy. My role is to take all those little pieces and bring them together into a cake that feels like you.
I believe beautiful cake should also taste incredible. That's why I care about quality ingredients, balanced flavours, texture, and the experience your guests have when they take that first bite.
