When should I book my cake?
We’re excited to hear that you’re considering creating a cake with us!
We require between 3-4 weeks’ notice for all custom-made and ready to order cakes. However, we recommend booking with as much notice as possible as we make our cakes fresh and some weeks get booked out far in advance.
If you require a custom-made or ready to order cake with a shorter lead time, please contact us and will do our best to accommodate you.
We also have a selection of cakes that can be picked up as early as tomorrow.
How much will my cake cost?
The final price of your cake depends on various factors, like serving numbers, serving size, the type of icing and the complexity of design.
Our wedding cakes can range from $500-$2000 plus (inc. GST).
We have a minimum order of $250 for custom-made cakes.
What are your serving sizes?
Our cakes can be sliced into two serving sizes. Coffee/finger servings or Dessert size servings.
Finger servings are 1″ x 1″ x 3″ slices (like a finger) and are more commonly served at weddings after dessert with tea/coffee
Our Dessert size servings are 1″ x 2″ x 3″ slices
As a guide, the smallest size cakes we bake are 6″ round cakes and are 6″ tall. They will provide you with 20 dessert portions which is equivalent to 40 finger/coffee portions (based on the above measurements).
How do I cut my cake to ensure I get enough servings?
To ensure you are getting the max amount of servings you need to cut your cake in to a grid style.
please see the link here to helpful you tube video on how to cut a cake.
If you are having your event at a venue the catering staff will know how to properly cut your cake. Just make sure you let them know if they are dessert size portions or finger/coffee size portions.
Do you deliver?
Currently we do not offer delivery unless it is a wedding cake. We are a small team and delivering takes away much needed time to create your edible art creations.
Collection from our studio is between 10am and 11am only.
If you are not able to collect your cake we do refer clients to www.zoom2u.com.au who specialise in cake delivery. They are able to be booked online via their website and are like Uber but for delivery. Enter our address, the pick up time (between 10am and 11am), your address and you will be able to track your delivery to your door.
Can you recreate a cake from another designer?
No, we’re cake artists and admire our fellow artists so we don’t copy other’s work.
But we do love it when you bring examples of other cakes you’ve seen as inspiration! We can use images of other designers’ creations as a guide and inspiration.
Can I have fresh florals on my cake?
Yes! We absolutely love using fresh florals to decorate your cake and we have a whole range for inspiration.
We can create our own arrangement with flowers carefully selected from our local florist, Flowers at Kirribilli. Or we can work with your florist to match your bouquet or event style.
However, as many flowers are sprayed with pesticides, all stems need to be wired and wrapped, sterilized and safety food prepped before they are placed in the cake. We charge a small fee for arrangement and wiring, this will all be included in your quote.
I’m coming in for a consultation, what should I bring?
The more material the better! We highly recommend bring any material you may have for you wedding or special occasion.
We can use invitations, colour swatches, vision boards, images of cake designs, florals and even your wedding dress to help us create something unique for your special day.

We make a lot more than just wedding cakes…although we do love weddings, engagements and anniversaries.
We have had years of experience creating all kinds of unique, one-of-a-kind cakes. From simple to luxurious wedding cakes, hand painted, hand carved and sculpted novelty cakes, cupcakes, decorated cookies and dessert buffets…there is nothing we can’t do.

The smallest size cake we bake will provide you with 20 dessert servings. we do not bake smaller than this unless the cake is multi tired.
Are wedding cakes more expensive than other cakes?
We do not charge a premium for wedding cakes and never will .
However, wedding cakes can end up being more expensive because customers need to feed more people, require more customisation, or select more intricate or time consuming designs.
Will substituting real tiers to foam “dummy” tiers reduce the cost?
For a standard sized wedding, we normally are able to put the required servings into the main cake.
If you are dreaming of a large and tall wedding cake, we can add tiers that are “dummy”. This means they’re foam inside, but decorated outside. It can be slightly cheaper because we don’t have to wait for the cake to cool before decorating it, or fortify the bottom layers to support the upper tiers.
But the majority of the cost of a cake is in the decorating. So it’s usually not much cheaper to use dummy tiers. For example, a four-tier cake with only two-tiers as real cake will be closer to the same price as a 4-tier cake all made from real cake.
Nevertheless, dummy tiers are sometimes necessary given the size of your venue. Smaller cakes in larger venue can sometimes get lost and look out of place, hence foam tiers may be added to make a visual impact.
