20 frames. A whole lot of cake. And somehow, we still want to make more. 🎂

From James Bond sophistication to Amalfi Coast elegance, milestone birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries and everything in between — the last little while at OCD has been a deliciously busy one.

We’ve been piping Lambeth details, stacking macarons, sculpting cakes, playing with wafer paper, hand-finishing sugar cookies, loading up cupcakes and creating cakes in every colour imaginable.

A few favourites from the recent OCD kitchen:

🥂 Two-tier James Bond
✨ Wafer paper details
🎂 Mel’s Trenta birthday cake
🌹 Denise’s rose pot cake
🤍 Emerald, gold & white 60th
🍋 Miss to Mrs Amalfi Coast
👑 Birthday Queen
🫐 Gluten-free chocolate & blueberries
🌿 Boho beauty
🦈 Baby Shark
🦁 Lion King anniversary
🌸 Floral cupcakes
🥥 Toasted Nut with toasted coconut
🍰 Bento cakes, cakesicles, cake pops, cupcakes & cookies

And then there’s Talin’s birthday collection, because apparently one cake simply wasn’t enough. 😉

Swipe through and tell us which one is your favourite. 👀

Obsessive Cupcake Disorder, because ordinary cake was never really our thing. 😎

From my childhood favourite to one of my favourite dishes from our trip to Italy 🇮🇹🍝

Mel took something I’ve loved since I was a kid ,spaghetti and meatballs, and turned it into a meal that brought back all the memories, with a little Italian inspiration from our travels.

When we’re not baking, we’re usually finding new ways to feed each other… and I’m definitely not complaining. 😏

A little bit of elegance… with a whole lot of Biscoff. 🤍

A 15cm, 3-layer Espresso Cake, filled with silky White Chocolate Ganache, generous swirls of Lotus Biscoff Spread and a satisfying crunch of crushed Lotus Biscoff Cookies.

Finished in our signature White Chocolate Ganache, topped with delicate white roses and a touch of understated elegance for Denise’s birthday.

Because sometimes the prettiest cakes have the most indulgent secrets hiding inside. ✨

Espresso × White Chocolate × Biscoff
A combination that simply makes sense.

17cm of gluten-free chocolate goodness, made from scratch by Mel. 🤍🫐

Watch Mel stack, fill and decorate this 2-layer Gluten-Free Belgian Chocolate Cake, with rich chocolate ganache between the layers, beautifully covered in smooth white chocolate ganache, finished with delicate piped details and a generous topping of fresh blueberries.

Simple, elegant and seriously indulgent, proof that gluten-free can still be absolutely decadent. ✨

When we’re not baking, we’re usually cooking for each other. ❤️

On this day, Mel wanted sandwiches… so sandwiches it was. 🥪

Gluten-free bread for Mel, sourdough for me, loaded with pesto, ’nduja paste, salami, provolone and exotic tomatoes.

Because apparently even our “quick lunch” needs to be a little extra.

A little behind-the-scenes magic for a very special 30th birthday. ✨

Watch Mel stack, fill, carve and transform this cake into its final oval shape before crumb coating and decorating it by hand. 🤍

This beauty was a gluten-free Red Velvet with our signature cream cheese filling, covered in silky white chocolate ganache and finished with a generous topping of imported cherries. 🍒

From a simple stack of cake to the finished celebration piece, every step is made with love, precision and a little OCD. 😉

CARS, but make it OCD. 🏎️💨

From filling and stacking to that final smooth coat, watch this 15cm Belgian chocolate cake come together for Talin’s 2nd birthday.

A little Ka-chow! moment for a very special birthday boy. ⚡️

Wrong answers only… 👀

We’ve got a box full of clues… but somehow, they’re not making this any easier. 😂

Two little white circles, a few squiggly lines, and a whole lot of pink — what on earth could these be?

Guess the theme before the cupcake reveal. Wrong answers only. 💅🏽
