Awesome show-stopping cake, in this case the highlight of a 90th birthday. Consumed with evident pleasure by young and old. Compliments to the chef!

This cake was delicious, everyone at the party loved it and asked where it was from. Such a generous size too, it fed over 40 people plus a little bit left over. Thank you so much for such a delicious cake, will definitely order again.

I had such a great time at Dhi’s choux pastry class! Dhi was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole process fun and approachable. We learned to make two different pasties, and they turned out absolutely delicious. I left feeling inspired and ready to bake more. Highly recommend.

We chose Dhi Ferrari for our daughters 21st birthday cake and are very pleased we did. Great service and beautiful looking cake (we chose the red velvet) and tasted amazing. We got many compliments on the night. Highly recommend.

Loved the course. Dhi is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Instructions and notes were clear and easy to follow. Went away with the confidence to build on the skills we learnt. Definitely be back for more classes.
