Meet Reece Hignell, the Newcastle-born dessert dynamo who’s taken Australia’s culinary scene by storm! A self-taught baking sensation, Reece turned his childhood passion for food—sparked by cooking alongside his beloved Nan—into a thriving career that’s as sweet as his creations. Known as the “Cake Boi,” he’s the mastermind behind Cakeboi, his celebrated bakery dishing out nostalgic treats like lemon tarts, carrot cakes, and sponges that have locals and visitors lining up for a taste.
Reece first won hearts on MasterChef Australia Season 10, dazzling judges with his inventive dishes and landing an impressive 6th place. He returned for Back to Win in Season 12, finishing 5th among a lineup of culinary heavyweights, and later brought his dessert A-game to Dessert Masters Season 2. With a knack for turning classic bakes into showstoppers, he’s also the author of two hit cookbooks: Cakeboi: A Collection of Classic Bakes and Cakeboi Goes Vegan, proving plant-based treats can be just as indulgent.
Beyond the kitchen, Reece is a hospitality maven with an advanced diploma in the field and a flair for inspiring others. From pop-up events across the country to a 12-month residency at QT Hotel Newcastle, complete with a Cakeboi high tea trolley, he’s a whirlwind of creativity and charisma. Whether you’re after a guest speaker with a story to tell, a brand ambassador with serious foodie cred, or a marketing collab that’s guaranteed to rise to the occasion, Reece Hignell is your guy.
