About Moreish Cakes and Monica Cavallaro
Meet Monica Cavallaro, a pastry chef, cake designer, international teacher, creator of the More Range, demonstrator, and brand ambassador in the world of cake. If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting Monica yet, you're in for a delightful experience!
Based in Sydney, this talented baking queen stands at an impressive 6'3" and is known for her cheeky personality and incredible creativity.
Monica is renowned not only for her extensive knowledge in baking and cake decoration but also for her witty innuendos and engaging demeanor during workshops and demonstrations, both nationally and internationally.
The concept of Moreish Cakes was born in 2009 when Monica, the founder and artist, began creating celebration cakes for her family. Over the years, word spread, and requests for cakes and baked goods started pouring in from friends and loved ones. It was only when people offered to pay for her creations that Monica realized there was something special here.
In 2013, after battling a long illness, Monica channeled her spare energy into baking and perfecting her recipes, with the intention of officially launching and growing Moreish Cakes.
In 2015, a serendipitous moment occurred in the middle of the night when Monica decided to enter The Great Australian Bake Off on Foxtel. She ended up as a finalist in 2016, marking a turning point in her journey.
From there, things took off rapidly. Monica became the go-to person for wedding cakes on the highly successful show Married At First Sigh on the 9 network from 2016 to 2021. She created weekly themed cakes for the dessert trolleys on the popular show Zumbo's Just Desserts, which aired on Channel 7 and is now available on Netflix internationally.
In the midst of it all, Monica continued to create breathtaking wedding cakes, developed her own line of specialty products in the More Range, judged baking and cake competitions worldwide, presented and demonstrated at major events, made cakes for celebrities, featured in magazines around the world with her cakes, tutorials, and interviews, created recipes, became a two-time ambassador, and embarked on regular teaching tours. Phew!
Despite all her accomplishments, Monica humbly maintains that her greatest claim to fame is being a mother to two amazing children and a wife to a supportive and understanding husband.
