Charly’s Amazing Oompa Loompas
So here’s some info about the Mucking Afazing people who work at Charly’s Bakery- night and day- yes we work when you sleep too! We always have music playing while we bake and ice and our staff may eat whatever they want to while they are at work.
Each member of staff gets a free birthday cake for themself and all immeadiate members of their family, each year. We work so hard to make everyone else beautiful, delicious cakes, and we want our staff to share their pride and joy at the wonderful cakes we make, with their families too.
Do you know that each of our staff have a photo of our President, Thabo Mbeki, with the birthday cake we made for him, up in their homes to show their friends and families.
We call ourselves “the Rainbow Bakery” as we are a proud and happy mix of so many different nations. We have Xhosa, Tswana, Sotho, Portuguese Angolan, Congolese, Jews, Germans, Christians and We live and work happily together.

Hi Charly’s Angels! OMG I can’t believe it took so long for a Southh African production to put You on our TV screen. I Love your shop and way off live. I know it is hard work but also so rewarding as far as the creative side off your job brings. I could spend my holiday in your shop and will be totally rested afterwards. That is how much I love Cake. Why have I never heard of yoy before? My friends all know how I love cakes. I live in the Garden Route in A small village Called. Sedgefield. I have a hairsalon and at night I bake. So your show gives me a lot off new idees. I am tiping this messeage to from my Blackberry phone so I hope you get it. All I can say is Buddy from Cake Boss is we have more talent in our local Angel girls. Love your show. When I come to Capetown again I will come to your shop. I just have to see it to realy believe it.
Hi All . My daughter a 20 year old law student is simply facinated by your show . She turns 21 in Jan 2012 and I being a single parent cannot afford a hugh celebration but the only request she humbly makes that we drive to Cape Town during the December vacation just to visit your bakery and according to her , if I buy her just a cup cake from your bakery she will be BLESSED . A tall order since we live in Durban but I am making every effort that my child realizes her dream . Keep up the amazing work .
Hi, all you beautiful bakers. I am so blessed to know that we have such awesome talent in our country. Watching you create a fairy tale makes me speechless. You are not only Charly’s cake angels, but Gods angels too, because of the love that you give back.I Pray that many dreams will be realized by your talent. You are indeed a blessing. Take care and keep on baking.
I feel like i am in another world when i look at your cakes. What an inspiartion to wake up every day and go to work just to be able to create such master pieces, must be a dream. What i wouldnt do , just to spend one month with all of you in the Charlys Bakery, and be able to share in your knowledge and expertise of creating such wonerful works of art!! You all have been blessed with such wonderful talent and gifts!!
What a pity i live in Durban. I am a single mom and am in the catering field, but to be able to do what you do would be a dream come true for me?
Congratulations to one and all on such fabulous works of art!!
