Hi there, My name is Tania Pickett and I am the proud owner of Zhakita Cake Designz, a boutique cake design company in Swanson, West Auckland.

I have been married for 20 years to a wonderful husband Eugene and together we have a gorgeous 16 year old son Antony. Our life is busy and rewarding whether it be on the sports field supporing our son,showing our 4 samoyed dogs or spending quality time entertaining with family and friends.

I have loved cake decorating since I was 12 years old and loved being able to create fun and funky cakes for Antony's birthday parties each year. I realised that that not everyone has the time etc to do this for their own children after being asked many times to do friends children's cakes.

So at the end of 2008 we started on the journey that soon became “Zhakita Cake Designz.” We have had installed a seperate commercial kitchen where I work from home and are proud to say we have an “A” grade certificate with the Waitakere City Council Health Department.

I am now working my business full time after finishing working at my previous employer of 10 years at the end of last year....and I LOVE IT !!

I specialise in children's birthday cakes, wedding cakes and any other occassions that call for a stunning centre piece.

In my store is just a small selection of cake designs but gives customers an idea of my work. If you want something different or custom designed for you, I'd love to turn your idea's into reality.

I'm passionate about what I do and that shows in the creations that leave my nest to yours

Warmest regards

Tania :-)
