cake size and price guide
My cakes are all created specifically for each client- you get to choose the size, style and, most importantly, the flavours! This means I don't have a specific price list.
But check out my guide below to get an idea of what to expect, and of my minimum orders. And, as always, if you have any questions at all just get in touch!

Firstly,
WHEREVER I CAN I USE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN PRODUCE : MY FLOUR, BUTTER, YOGHURT, CREAM, OLIVE OIL, EGGS, FRUITS AND VEGGIES, HONEY, NUTS AND FLOWERS ARE ALL GROWN OR PRODUCED IN SA, AND MOSTLY, IN THE ADELAIDE HILLS.
THE THINGS I CAN'T GET DIRECTLY FROM PRODUCERS (LIKE SUGAR AND CHOCOLATE) I PURCHASE FROM BULK FOOD STORES TO ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY PACKAGING.
I AVOID USING PLASTIC IN MY PACKAGING, I USE COMPOSTABLE CAKE BOXES AND BAKING PAPER AND I DON'T USE PLASTIC COVERS FOR MY FLORAL DECORATIONS (I USE FLORAL TAPE INSTEAD).

"Almost too good to eat..."
- from Tash
...It was a must that it be photographed before being scoffed down. And I say almost too good to eat because you should have tasted it! If you're looking for a cake maker, Jordan from Thistle and Whey is your girl!
"an absolute delight!"
Jordan has such a beautiful and genuine way of connecting with her clients. When planning the cake for my grandmother’s 90th birthday Jordan was keen to find out about the person she was baking for. We shared stories of my grandmother’s own love of baking and sharing cakes and the flavours we remember being present in her favourite recipes.
Jordan’s design perfectly suited the celebration of a much-loved woman and her appreciation for well-considered seasonal foods. The almond, lemon curd, rhubarb, labne and strawberry butter cream cake was an absolute delight! The attention to detail and commitment to local and sustainable practices just adds to the pleasure of enjoying Jordan’s cakes. Thistle and Whey is highly recommended!

I absolutely loved it!
The flavours were exactly what I like. It wasn't too sweet and the complex flavours were all shining through just the right amount. I was one happy cookie last night, first when I saw the cake, then again when I tasted it!
