Hi
Could you please tell me if this dialogue reads naturally? Any suggestions please?
A - The cake looks a bit too plain.
B- Yes, and my apologies that it's a bit custom-baked. I mean, my wife prepared it specially for me, keeping the sugar and calorie levels very low. I'm sure it's too bland for you.
Thanks,
Tom
I suppose it's OK. But we usually say home-cooked or home-made . Not custom-baked.

Mr. TomYes, and my apologies that it's a bit custom-baked.
My version would go like this:
Yes. My apologies. It's baked to order especially for me.
(or 'made to order')
