HEY THERE! WE’RE THE LIONHEART GURLS
A cake baking, pastry making, gurl gang ready to steal hearts with our beautiful, sweet creations!
WHO RUNS THIS SHIP?
WHY, NIKKI ALBERTYN OF COURSE!
After completing a part-time pastry course in 2015, Nikki’s graphic design skills and love for all things visual melted into one with the art of baking. She began to share her sweet adventures on Instagram, gradually creating a demand for more of her drool-worthy designs, and so… LionHeart was born, baby!
WE BELIEVE…
…life should be celebrated. Every occasion, no matter how big or small, should be memorable. So that means you need cake, obvs. 😉
…in crafting sweet creations that are visually breath-taking AND insanely delicious.
…high quality service is so important. Our creations need to knock it out of the park, but the way we treat you needs to have you seeing stars!
…in sharing knowledge and passion to inspire and uplift others.
OUR STORY
From taking our first steps on Instagram in 2015, to having a flourishing online business, we have grown into a team of six beautifully diverse womxn pooling our strengths to make Cape Town a sweeter place with crafted cake designs and treats.
Along the way, as we have grown, an incredible online community has grown with us. We have become known not only for the tasty mouthfuls that fly out of our kitchen, but also the breath-taking images of our work.
We have worked on projects for the likes of Athi Patra Ruga, Le Creuset, GoodLeaf and Moirs, hosted our very own High Tea event and collaborated with fellow bakers and businesses across the globe.
Beyond being able to taste and see our creations, we aim to inspire like-minded pastry chefs and aspiring bakers across the globe through our workshops and online school, growing a community through knowledge sharing.
We're in the game of cake, but first and foremost we're here to add a little (or a big) touch of happiness to your day!
