Penny Bunz

My name is Penny Bunz and my business is Cleopatra Cakes. My passion is creating cakes that are artistic, detailed and perhaps a little quirky. I love colour, art, music, exotic cultures and offbeat humour and subject matter, which usually influences my creations. 


I hail from the Great white north, Canada that is. I met my husband Stuart, who is Australian, at a backpackers hotel in Earl's Court, London. After years abroad, we have settled in Melbourne, Australia. 


We have 2 kids, Lola And Ace. I'm kept busy dividing my time between my day job as a lampshade maker at a contemporary lighting company, kid and pet wrangling, and of course night and weekends as a crazy cake lady. 


I've been cake decorating now for a decade. I spent years in hospitality as a cook and I have a background in fine arts. Art and craft and cooking have been a constant obsession in my life and I love that I have found a medium that combines the two.
