In the bustling world of cake making, it’s hard to find a cake that stands out from others. A cake that is going to wow your guests, satisfy that sweet tooth and make your special day one you will never forget. Well fear not, because we have found a true talent. Meet Nicole, the face behind Naked by NB (located in Burwood, Melbourne) making her mark on the world with her cake-making business.

Nicole’s journey began in the pandemic whirlwind, experimenting with candles and chocolate-dipped strawberries. But it wasn’t until she stumbled upon the mesmerising world of Lambeth piped heart cakes (aka retro cakes) on American Instagram feeds that her passion ignited. Seeing a gap in the Aussie market, she took a leap into the uncharted territory of intricate and glittery cake creations.

As Nicole delved into the art of Retro cakes, she quickly realised the scarcity of such creations in Australia and how much people loved them. This realisation became the catalyst forsetting her new venture in stone, and she has now been crafting cakes for over three years.

What sets Nicole apart is not just her dedication to the craft but the genuine joy she brings to every special occasion. Specialising in Retro piped Swiss meringue buttercream cakes, she offers heart and circle shapes that add a unique touch to weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, hens, bridal showers, and more.

Flavours are not just limited to the classics of chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, or caramel. Nicole also caters to those with gluten sensitivities, providing options like vanilla, chocolate, and lemon & coconut for a sugary treat without compromise.

However, what truly makes Nicole special is her unwavering creativity and attention to detail. As a self-taught baker, she constantly challenges herself to learn and evolve, staying on the cutting-edge of cake trends. Every order is not just a transaction; it’s a personal interaction with Nicole herself. She takes the time to personally connect with her clients. When you order from her, you’re not just getting a cake; you’re gaining a friendly and bubbly conversation with the person who pours love into each creation, ensuring that every cake is a unique masterpiece.

Nicole has also worked with the likes of That’s So Fetch, Bangn Body, Elite Eleven, Kat the Label and of course The Modern Muse Magazine so you know she’s got some serious talent.

Nicole’s business is more than just a cake-making enterprise; it’s a celebration of love, creativity, and the joy that beautifully crafted cakes can bring to life’s special moments. We would like to thank Naked by NB for joining The Modern Muse family and for making our February issue come to life.
