Founded in 2015, our female-led Online Bake Shop has blossomed into a flourishing haven for delectable cakes and treats, while whipping up that irresistibly drool-worthy Insta content.

Behind every sweet creation is our beautifully diverse team, seamlessly blending their talents in customer service, operations and, of course, the kitchen. Crafted with care and a sprinkle of that Sweet LionHeart flair, we aim to make Cape Town a sweeter place with every tasty mouthful that comes out of our kitchen.

Beyond being able to taste and see our creations, we are committed to growing and expanding our reach. As the Sweet LionHeart gang, we not only know how to cake things up, but we’re dedicated to inspiring like-minded pastry chefs and aspiring bakers across the globe through our online school, building a sweet community through knowledge sharing.

At Sweet LionHeart, we’re on a mission to make your experience as delightful as our sweet bakes. We believe in the power of teamwork to deliver quality baked goods and content that surpass expectations. Discover the delight of Sweet LionHeart, where great cake, great service and the spirit of togetherness converge to create sweetness for every moment, big or small.

The heart behind the sweetness? That’s Nikki Symons, of course!

After completing a part-time pastry course, Nikki infused her graphic design skills with a newfound love for baking and began sharing her cake adventures on Instagram. Little did she know that this would be the starting point of something truly extraordinary – Sweet LionHeart – where sweet creations go beyond baking, and where passion takes the cake.
