After all, birthdays are about joy, and everyone deserves a cake to call their own.

Cookies



Cape Town’s first cookie brand with Man Flavours is here! At ManD'OH, we believe cookies should be big, bold, and absolutely unforgettable. Each cookie is 150g of pure indulgence, stuffed with exciting fillings and packed with flavour to satisfy even the biggest cravings. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet or adventurous enough to try our savoury options, there’s something here for everyone.

Our cookies are inspired by the famous New York-style cookie. Think crispy edges, a soft and gooey centre, and a thick, chunky bite that feels like a proper dessert. These aren’t just snacks—they’re made to impress and satisfy.

On the sweet side, we’ve got favourites like Classic Chocolate Chip, Biscoff and White Chocolate, Dark Chocolate Oreo, Nutella Rocky Road, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Red Velvet. Each one is crafted to be rich, decadent, and full of surprises.

For those who love savoury, we’ve created bold and unique flavours like Kamma Braai Broodjie with tomato, onion, and cheese; Biltong and Cream Cheese with real biltong pieces; Margarita Pizza with all the flavours of your favourite slice; Bobotie with its sweet and savoury blend of raisins and chutney; and Pap and Smoor with Parmesan cheese for that comforting, hearty bite.

You can enjoy our cookies individually for a quick treat or grab a bag of six to share (or keep them all to yourself). ManD'OH is all about bringing you cookies that are different, exciting, and made to delight.

Take a Man-Size Bite and discover the magic of ManD'OH today!

Getting to know me



Creativity has always flowed through my veins, from childhood moments spent pressing crayons and pencils hard onto paper to create bright, vivid colours.

As I grew older, my passion for art led me to explore various mediums—painting on t-shirts, materials, glass, ceramics, and even glass paper.

But as life unfolded, I discovered that my true canvas was something far sweeter—cake.

Each creation became more than just a dessert; it became a way to express emotions, a celebration of love and memories.

Wow wow wow!! Ons was eenkeer by Rickus en gese wat my idees en tema rondom die troue is en op ons troudag toe staan die meesterstuk voor ons. Dit het my wildste drome oortref en eks so dankbaar ek het die troukoek in sy hande gelos. Die koek het regtig net so lekker gesmaak soos wat dit gelyk het. Ek trou sommer weer net om nog n Rickus meestestuk te kan kry. Sal hom en sy koeke enige tyd vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Sy kreatiwiteit, bak vernuf en talent is net iets wat woorde nie kan beskryf nie.
