Not just a cake, its the moment everyone remembers.

Modern bespoke gluten-free wedding cakes in Melbourne, designed for couples who care about both style and flavour.

“The Mess was beyond our wildest dreams for a wedding cake.”

- Jordyn and Josh

Bespoke cakes and desserts, made to delight.

Gluten-free and handcrafted in Melbourne for big moments, small moments, and everything worth celebrating.

Featured by Vogue Ballroom and Vines of the Yarra Valley as one of their recommended Melbourne wedding cake designers.

Cakes aren’t just part of the menu, they’re part of the memory.

The cutting, the laughter, the messy first bite, the photos you’ll look back on for years.

I design gluten-free wedding cakes and desserts (with vegan options available) that feel like they belong in those moments, not just on the table, but at the centre of the celebration.

Hey I’m Rhi

I’m a cake artist and former event manager based in Melbourne.

I started The Mess because I was tired of gluten-free cakes being treated like an afterthought.

I wanted to create something different: design-led, celebration-focused cakes that are fully inclusive without compromising on style or flavour.

Every cake is created by me, from first sketch to final detail.
