Baking from Queenswood, Pretoria · she's almost certainly procrastinating

I'll make anything you want — as long as you smile.

Cakes, cookies, and the kind of sweet things that make Mondays bearable. Hand-baked by Karah — 19, BCom, hip hop dancer, has been told her chocolate cake is a personality flaw.

a quick note on the name ✎

it should be krummel.
she wrote krimmel on purpose.

Krummel is the Afrikaans word for crumb. Krimmel is spelled wrong. She knows. Three Afrikaans teachers have told her. That's kind of the whole point — nothing here is supposed to be perfect. It's just supposed to be real, and made for you.

hi, I'm Karah ✿
about the baker ↘

BCom by day.
Baker by everything else.

Karah is 19. She studies Business Science, dances hip hop, watches her dog Charlie watch her bake, and has personally caused at least one grown adult to cry at a birthday party. (Good tears. Cake tears.)

She started krimmel because she couldn't not. Her friends kept asking for cakes. Her family kept ordering cookies. At some point you stop calling it a hobby and start calling it a business.

She takes orders for celebrations, catering, and the random Tuesday when you just need brownies and someone to validate you. She's not trying to be a big commercial bakery. She's trying to be your baker.

the menu ↘

A few of the sweet things she makes (custom orders welcome).

~ the list is short on purpose. everything is made to order, by her, in her kitchen, while a textbook gathers dust nearby ~

01 A custom celebration cake by krimmel

Celebration cakes

Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, "we got engaged" parties, "I survived this week" Fridays. Custom designs, custom flavours, the kind of frosting that will end your relationship with grocery-store cake forever.

02 Cookies and treats by krimmel

Cookies & treats

Chocolate chip. Snickerdoodles. White chocolate cranberry. A few experiments she hasn't named yet. Order by the dozen — eat the dozen — pretend you shared.

03 Other sweet things by krimmel

Sweet things

Brownies. Cupcakes. Rusks. The occasional questionable experiment. If it's sweet and lives in a kitchen, she's probably figured out a version of it — or she will, if you ask nicely.

Her one rule:
"I'll make anything you want — as long as it makes you smile."
Tell her what you want ↗
events & catering ↘

She'll bring the
sweet stuff to your thing.

Corporate launch. Wedding dessert table. Birthday catering. Baby shower. Bridal shower. The dessert table at your event will become the photo everyone takes. She's done this before — she knows.

Thank you to @ingle_pienaar_estates for the opportunity to officially launch at your event.
