As one half of The Daily Cupcake Co team, he has to taste test a new flavour whipped up by his wife Kirsty every single day.
"I don't think I could ever get sick of them," Mr Abra said.
"As the resident taster, a huge part of the lockdown involved eating a lot of cupcakes baked fresh every morning to make sure the icing is up to scratch."
The couple started the unique business, where they release an exclusive cupcake flavour every day to be delivered in Tamworth, so that they could spend more time with their one-year-old daughter Billie.
It helps that she wakes them up each morning around 6am, Mr Abra joked.
"We moved back from Sydney to Tamworth and my wife is entirely gluten free and always cooking food herself," Mr Abra said.
"Baked goods is one thing she's always made herself.
"When we were stuck in lockdown we had three months to think about the recipes and build this passion project to spend more time at home with our daughter."

Both have experience in hospitality, having worked at a number of cafes in Tamworth.
Each week there's a brainstorming session to come up with new and unique flavours, Mr Abra said.
"The culture in cupcakes has seen an explosion of artisan flavours, people are using berries and fruits and doing crazy things with bizarre flavours," he said.
"It has been really positive, we have had a lot of people reach out to tell us they think it's a cool idea and it's something to look forward to."
