Motherhood is wild! This is the first cake I made postpartum - for my Mum’s birthday. The creative release after nine months of navigating the physical and mental transformations of parenthood. I remember feeling so uncertain about finding my way back to this part of myself again. That’s when the mothers in my universe gently stepped in. It was a rare moment in which both my Mum and Mum-in-law were visiting us in Adelaide at the same time. They became a little dynamic duo, gently holding back the curious crawler while I found a moment to create again. It took me three years from this date to confidently step back into this space again. Now, I get to embrace it all as a Mum, sharing the magic of baking with my eager helper. I certainly wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s to those who mother us as we learn to mother our little ones🎉. What an incredible cycle of endless giving this journey is. Happy Mother’s Day to those celebrating today. • Hidden beneath the blooms are layers of lemon coconut cake, filled with lemon curd, @fresh.as raspberry SMBC and a hint of roasted macadamias. • Wondering how to embrace the mess and motherhood? I created the Little Hands, Big Treats ebook to inspire simple moments in the kitchen with your little ones. Explore my recipe book via the link in bio.

🌼This little number celebrated a special matriarch in our village a wee while ago. My friend’s Mum came over to spend a year here as she welcomed her second child. So we took a moment to celebrate her. Because motherhood doesn’t simply build families, it connects generations. As someone who has moved across continents many times in my life, I understand the importance of a chosen family. The people who become your tribe in a new place called home❣️. It’s such a privilege when worlds collide and the people who shaped us meet the people who now walk alongside us. A beautiful reminder that home isn’t just where we come from, but also what we build together🫶🏽. Hidden beneath the blooms is a chocolate mud cake, smothered in Swiss meringue buttercream. #ohthatbegood #adelaidecakes #edibleflowercake #edibleflower

POV: You planned a simple bake on holiday. We are back in a place called home, watching my son soak up everything Sri Lanka has to offer. The most beautiful part has been witnessing the easy friendships form with our neighbours. We’re rarely needed as the kids flit between houses, their imaginations running wild and free. I love watching this unfiltered part of childhood unfold right in front of me. Naturally, what started as a simple bake turned into a gathering of four curious little people closely monitoring my progress amidst their play. It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Just as the batter was ready, the oven didn’t work. A quick call to another neighbour fixed the dilemma in no time… and just like that, a cake was baked next door. We are embracing the joyful chaos that only happens when children feel at home together. It’s messier and louder, but all that mattered was their absolute delight in a treat made alongside them. It all feels like home. This is what Little Hands, Big Treats looks like on the road - baking, connecting, and making memories that travel with you. Recipe for this frosting and more can be found in the Little Hands, Big Treats ebook. #ohthatbegood #familybaking #recipebook #bakingwithkids #travelwithkids

I swapped my usual tart base for kataifi… and here’s what happened: Caramel Macadamia Katifi Tarts. Crispy? Yes. Decadent? Absolutely. When paired with caramel and ganache the katifi base holds beautifully. A crunchy kataifi crust, salted caramel, roasted macadamias and a dark chocolate filling *chefs kiss*. Keeping this one for future trials. Continuing my kataifi experiments this Ramadan till the packet runs out!😆 ✨Crispy Kataifi Tarts Part 1 ✨ #iftarideas #eiddesserts #chocolatetart #ohthatbegood #ramadanrecipes

💌 Oh, the things you say! My inbox has been quietly filling with messages that make me smile and make my heart soar. From seasoned bakers trying new easy recipes, to the Mum going rogue and pivoting measurements when she couldn’t find her kitchen scales - I’ve heard from all of you! ✨ I love that the book feels like a safe space, giving you quiet confidence in the kitchen. This is exactly why Little Hands, Big Treats exists. Batter that disappears before it hits the oven and cakes eaten straight off the pan are just the sort of moments that turn into memories. Thank you for bringing this recipe book to life in your own kitchens.

Dubai chocolate felt like a rite of passage I missed…so here’s my Ramadan version 🌙 I had a jar of @fixandfogg pistachio butter sitting in the pantry waiting for its moment, and I happened upon some kataifi in the fridge at my local grocer. Pair that with an iftar invite, and it turned into the perfect little experiment to bring along. It’s the crunch of Katifi that wins my heart with these bites. It’s surprisingly simple to make too. Save this for those evenings when you want something special without the fuss. INGREDIENTS 150g kataifi pastry 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 300g pistachio cream 1 tbsp tahini 1 tsp sea salt 200g milk or dark chocolate chips METHOD 1. Prepare the kataifi | Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the kataifi into short pieces and gently separate any strands that are stuck together. 2. Place in a large bowl and pour over the melted butter. Use your hands to mix the butter through until evenly coated. 3. Spread onto a baking tray in an even layer and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool complete. (Optional: once cooked, cut the crisp Katifi into smaller pieces). 4. Make the filling | In a bowl, mix the pistachio cream, tahini and sea salt. Add the cooled kataifi and stir till combined. 5. Assemble | Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Line a patty pan with paper liners. Spoon a little melted chocolate into each liner and gently spread it up the sides using the back of a spoon. Chill in the fridge for 5-10 minutes until set. 6. Add a spoonful of the pistachio kataifi filling to each cup, pressing it down gently. Drizzle more melted chocolate over the top. Decorate with crushed pistachios and edible flowers. Chill until fully set, then peel away the liners and dig in! Original recipe by: The Recipe Mingle. #iftarideas #eidrecipes #dubaichocolate #ramadankareem #ohthatbegood

Hello there! It feels like the perfect moment to reintroduce myself 💁🏽‍♀️ I am Afra, a Sri Lankan‑Kiwi baker and the creative force behind Oh That Be Good. This is the space where I celebrate people and produce through creations from my kitchen in Australia. As a mum to a little boy, I have learnt that baking is about connection, creativity, and making memories, especially with little hands helping. It is a full circle moment as I discovered my passion by dabbling with desserts at home as a teenager, encouraged by my father, who became a professional baker during a career pivot later in life. I share the joy of baking through bespoke cakes, cake decorating workshops in Adelaide and my digital recipe book Little Hands, Big Treats. Come journey with me as I create chaos in my kitchen, discover new recipes and curate treats that will leave you thinking “Oh! That be good!” #ohthatbegood #adelaidecakes #classbento #adelaideevents
