ABOUT
JOYCE MATAKI. OWNER AND CREATOR AT STELLA CAKE'S & EVENTS
Hi, I'm Joyce the face behind the business. My family and I are from New Zealand, we made the move to Australia back in 2013. I built Stella Cake's & Events from scratch and I'm so proud to have it where it is today. I'm also a Mum to 3 kids and a wife outside of work. This business can be very full on at times, but I love what I do and am very passionate about it.
I started Stella Cake's & Events a few years ago mainly because I didn't want to keep paying someone to make my kids cakes every year. It was a slow process at the start, literally starting from scratch with no experience at all. Definitely had some ultimate cake fails along the way, but each fail taught me something new. Fast forward a few years later and I never would've imagined back at the beginning my cake skills would grow to be where they are now as I never once took a class or course to learn anything. Ultimately a lot of time and practice. Along the way I have always continued to strive for more, learn new skills and ways to keep growing my business. This lead to being able to do cupcakes and cookies. It also lead to my expansion of event set ups. I know how crazy party planning can be and I wanted to help take some of that stress away by combining all your needs into one vendor.
