Business expansion brings sweet treats to the street
STARTING out as a little market stall and home baker, Jamie-Lee Hilton has officially opened a dessert boutique with a grand opening over the weekend attracting hundreds of customers.
Jamie-Lee realised she had a passion for cakes after creating a relative’s wedding cake a few years ago, only doing a few special occasions for her close family and friends.
She decided to start operating her own home business, Teeze Cakes, and discovered the community loved her products, prompting her to open her new store at 107-111 Byrnes Street four years later.
“We are a sort of grab-and-go dessert boutique and we also do speciality coffees and now we are also doing milkshakes.
Everything is colourful and made from scratch,” Jamie-Lee said.
“It’s very surreal (to open the store) and it has all happened so quickly and I enjoy what I do.
“I’ve taught myself to make cakes and I have travelled overseas to learn more and build myself up to be the best I can be.”
Jamie-Lee will be working alongside her partner Dylan Cummings and six new employees including some bakery apprentices.
