The Story Behind the Cake Queen
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.
Every Cake Begins with Connection
For Nadine, cake design is personal. She takes time to understand her clients — their style, their story and the feeling they want to create on the day. Each cake or dessert is tailored to capture that essence, whether it’s a romantic coastal wedding in Forster, a family milestone in Newcastle, or a corporate event in Sydney.
Behind the artistry lies Nadine’s deep commitment to quality ingredients and timeless techniques — from slow-whipped buttercream to Italian meringue, every detail matters.
Three Decades of Creativity & Craftsmanship
With more than 30 years of experience, Nadine has designed cakes for hundreds of celebrations across NSW — from intimate gatherings to grand wedding venues. She’s renowned for her attention to detail, distinctive flavour combinations and ability to translate a vision into edible art.
Her diverse portfolio includes:
Bespoke wedding and celebration cakes
Dessert tables and styled event displays
Cupcakes, cookies and petite desserts
Gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options crafted with care
This breadth of experience allows Nadine to adapt to each client’s vision — whether that’s elegant minimalism, botanical beauty or whimsical colour.
Crafted with Heart, Shared with Joy
Every cake, cupcake and dessert that leaves Nadine’s kitchen carries her passion for connection, creativity and care. Whether it’s a delicate cupcake, a grand tiered wedding cake or a dessert table styled to perfection — Nadine’s creations are designed to make people smile.
