Soulful, earthy and seasonal baking.

Hayley McKee is a cookbook author, recipe developer, food stylist and owner of Sticky Fingers Bakery.

She has spent a decade creating sweets that taste of nature, where the ingredients are familiar, the colouring is genuine, and the flavours are unmasked. Her unique custom cakes are made with Australian native ingredients, vegetables, homegrown herbs and edible flowers.
