FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of cakes do you make?
Whilst we specialise in weddings we also make cakes for all kinds of corporate and personal events - basically anything that you want a cake for we can make it!
When should I contact you?
As there is a limit to how many orders we can complete each week I recommend getting in contact with us 6-12 months in advance for a wedding cake, especially if you are getting married in one of the more popular months (March & April and September - November).
For all other orders, 2-4 weeks notice is generally fine depending on the time of year.
How much are your cakes?
As each cake is quoted on individually but as a rough guide (plus delivery & set up)
Itty-Bitty Hearts - from $50
Mini - from $95
1 tier - from $140
2 tier - from $475
3 tier - from $600
4 tier - from $800
5 tier - from $950
Do you make dummy cakes/tiers?
Yes we do.
We can do entire dummy cakes that are just for display at the event and provide kitchen cakes for serving to your guests or we can add a fake tier here or there to increase its height or make a specific design work better for you.
Fake tiers are created from Styrofoam cut to size, then decorated to seamlessly fit into your overall design.
Are you available for media contact?
Yes I am available for interviews, guest blog posts & articles.
Please email me for further information
How do I design and book my cake?
We offer a flexible approach to designing your cake - we can do it all online via email or video apps or we can book an onsite consultation.
To start the process via email, go to the contact form on this website.
At a minimum we need to know the date & time of your event, the location, guest numbers (approximate is fine) and whether you are wishing to serve the cake as dessert or with coffee.
In addition to this information its helpful to send through or bring examples to the consultation of any themes you have chosen for your ceremony and reception.
If you've already chosen your wedding dress then a photograph or sample of the material showing lace or beading details is very helpful if you wish to incorporate that into the cake design.
Additionally any ideas you have on colours, invitations, table decorations, bridesmaid dresses, key pieces of jewellery and floral arrangements are also important to think about.
Have you already decided on a design? Then send along a photo or sketch and we can make it unique for you!
What is a Design Appointment?
A Design Appointment is available to those looking at complex wedding or large event cakes - it is basically a chat about all things cake and the details around your event.
Appointments are held at our shop in Weston during the week. They take approximately 1 hour and are for 2 people.
If you have already booked your cake with us, the Design Appointment is a time for us to finalise any complexities in your design details.
If you have not yet booked with us then the Design Appointment is a time for us to meet and chat all about your event and cake needs and to design your cake. The cost of the appointment is $50+gst for the Tasting Box (pending their availability on that date) which is then taken from your overall cake cost once you proceed with the booking.
Please note that Tasting Boxes need to be booked in advance, we don’t have them on hand at the shop and they are only made once a month - so if you wish to collect your Tasting Box at your onsite appointment then we will need to confirm its availability first.
How do I order a Tasting box?
Tasting Boxes are available once a month and can be booked via email or this website
They cost $50 + gst (pick up at our shop) or $65 +gst (express post) and contain 8 types of cake layered with delicious filling.
For weddings with cakes over $450, a Tasting Box is included in your booking (pick up only) - but can be posted for an additional $17+gst.
Each month we will announce when the Tasting Boxes are going out in our email newsletter and our social media pages.
We will also open up a set number of Tasting Boxes which you can order if you just really love cake (no judgement here!)
What flavour cakes do you make?
We work mainly with delicious moist mud cakes and layer them with chocolate ganache.
We have a wide range of flavours available and have some Gluten Free/Dairy Free options too.
Flavour lists are available on the website and in our consultation package so just fill in the contact form and we will send it through to you.
Also available on our menu are our famous XL chunky cookies, handmade marshmallows and other treats are being added soon!
Where can I see examples of your work?
We have extensive galleries on this site and on our other social media pages (links are at the top for Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest).
Or you can see some of our display cakes in person at our shopfront at 23 Station Street, Weston.
Can I hire your space for lessons?
It is only a small space but we would be open to discussing hosting you as a guest teacher if the shop is not already in use.
