Cookson's House Of Cakes

My name is Lavora Cookson and I am the founder, director, baker and decorator at Cookson’s House of cakes. Whilst working as a health worker for several years, I became unemployed in 2017, when my dear patient passed away at age 93. I’ve always been a hobby baker and this skill enabled me to provide for my family. Soon this very hobby turned into a small business from home.

My love for baking was instilled into me from a very young age by my late mom, Georgina v/d Westhuizen. Back then she was the local community baker. Her love for celebration, family and quality made her a sought after local legend, attracting people from far and near. She believed in creating sweet memories and that every occasion should be celebrated.
