*Update re National Lockdown*

Dear Clients

Firstly, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who is working hard to protect our fellow South African’s during this COVID-19 worldwide pandemic and in doing so, putting your own lives at risk.

We are in full support of the lockdown and are committed to be of service to the community as a basic goods manufacturer. As Cake Extreme is a bakery we fall under the food industry category and although we will be closed as such to the general public our bakery will remain open along with our dedicated standby team so that we can support and assist with the supply of bread items to grocery stores and other essential service providers.

We continue and remain committed to doing our bit by practising good hygiene and sanitisation within our bakery and amongst our staff who will be working over this period.

With regards to our celebration cakes orders (birthday cakes, wedding cakes etc.) please do not hesitate to contact us to postpone or make changes to your orders – we are very flexible and are here to assist. We will still be available to take calls and emails during lockdown if you would like us to quote on any cakes that you may need after the lockdown period.

On a personal note, I would like to encourage you, to try and see the positive during these uncertain times.

I know it is easier said than done but we are in this together, this goes beyond South Africa, it is a worldwide battle and one that I know we will overcome & beat and as a result come out so much stronger. Think of this as a RESET button!

In the spirit of Solidarity – let us support the lockdown, support one another & beat this pandemic! We Can & We Will!

We look forward to bringing you bigger & better extreme cakes in the very near future!

Stay Safe!

Do you know where the Birthday Cake tradition started?

I’m sure you will agree that no birthday is complete without some cake – it makes turning another year older more bearable. But where did this tradition come from?

In ancient Greece they honoured the Ancient Greek moon goddess, Artemis with a round cake and candles - the round cake was meant to look like the moon and the candles on top of the cake gave off light to imitate the moon.

It wasn’t until the middle ages that the “birthday” cake found its true calling when our German friends celebrated children’s birthdays with a cake and candles, one for each year they had lived and an extra for the year to come – this was known as a Kinderfeste. This is where the formal birthday tradition of making wishes and eating cake originated.

And as this tradition grew and evolved, cakes were not just used for Birthday’s but for all types of special events & celebrations! All we can say is thank you to our Greek & German friends for starting this awesome tradition!
