Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our bakery products, ordering process, delivery, and more.

How far in advance should I place my order?

We recommend placing your order at least 48 hours in advance. For large, tiered, or highly customised cakes (especially wedding cakes), 1–4 weeks' notice is preferred, subject to availability.

Can I fully customise my cake design?

Yes! All our cakes are handcrafted and can be customised to suit your theme, colours, and occasion. Please provide clear details or inspiration images when ordering. Final designs may vary slightly due to seasonal flowers and handmade elements.

Do you recreate cakes exactly from reference photos?

We use reference images as inspiration only. While we aim to capture the overall style and theme, exact replicas are not guaranteed, as each cake is uniquely handmade.

How do I choose the right cake size?

Serving sizes are listed under each cake option as dessert servings and coffee servings. If you're unsure, feel free to contact usβ€”we're happy to help you select the perfect size for your event.

What is the difference between dessert servings and coffee servings?

Dessert servings are larger slices, ideal when cake is the main dessert. Coffee servings are smaller slices, suitable when cake is served alongside other desserts.

What flavours do you offer?

We offer a wide range of flavours, including classic favourites, chocolate lovers' choices, fruity flavours, and signature creations. Some premium flavours incur an additional charge, as noted on the website.

Do you offer dietary-friendly cakes?

Yes, we offer vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, low-sugar options. Please note that while every care is taken, our kitchen is not an allergen-free environment.

Can I request a flavour not listed?

You're welcome to ask! Custom flavours may be available upon request and are subject to approval and additional charges.

Are cake toppers included in the cake price?

Cake toppers and candles are not included by default and can be selected separately under the Cake Toppers & Candles section.

Are toppers edible?

Most toppers are non-edible (acrylic or decorative). Please remove all non-edible items before serving.

Can I add matching cupcakes or cookies to my cake order?

Yes! Matching cupcakes and cookies can be added to your order in various quantities. Prices are listed clearly on the product page.

Will cupcakes and cookies match the cake design?

We aim to coordinate colours and themes to match your cake as closely as possible.

Do you deliver wedding cakes to venues?

Is cake setup included in delivery?

Do you offer collection for wedding cakes?

Collection is available for single-tier or small cakes only. Tiered wedding cakes must be delivered by us to ensure safety and quality.

How do you handle hot weather weddings?

We take extra care during warmer months; however, extreme heat can affect cake stability. We recommend air-conditioned venues and shaded display areas. Buttercream cakes may be substituted with fondant for better heat resistance if required.

Do you offer delivery?

Yes, we offer Hunter Region–wide delivery from Monday to Saturday, between 9am and 6pm. Delivery times are approximate and cannot be guaranteed.

What if no one is available to receive the cake?

Please ensure someone is available at the delivery address. Re-delivery fees may apply if delivery is unsuccessful.

What is your cancellation policy?

Due to the custom nature of our cakes, payments are non-refundable once work has commenced. Date changes are subject to availability.

Do you cater for allergies?

We do our best to accommodate allergy requests; however, our kitchen handles nuts, dairy, gluten, eggs, and soy, so cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed.

Do your cakes contain non-edible items?

Some cakes may include internal supports, dowels, floral wires, or decorative elements. These must be removed before serving.

Why might my cake look slightly different from photos?

Each cake is handmade, and variations in colour, texture, and florals may occur due to seasonal availability and artistic style.

How should I store my cake?

Cakes should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Storage instructions will be provided with your order.

How far in advance should we book our wedding cake?

We recommend booking your wedding cake at least 4–8 weeks in advance. Popular dates fill quickly, so early booking is advised to secure your preferred date.

Is a deposit required to secure our wedding date?

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your wedding date. The remaining balance must be paid in full prior to delivery or collection.

Can we customise our wedding cake design?

Absolutely. All wedding cakes are custom-designed to reflect your vision, theme, and colour palette. Inspiration photos are welcome and used as a guide rather than an exact replica.

Do you offer fondant or buttercream wedding cakes?

Yes, we offer both fondant and buttercream finishes, depending on the design and season. Some intricate designs may require fondant for stability.

Will the final cake look exactly like the design discussed?

As each cake is handcrafted, slight variations in colour, florals, and detailing may occur, especially when using seasonal flowers or handmade decorations.

Do you use fresh or artificial flowers?

We can use fresh flowers, artificial flowers, or handmade sugar/fondant flowers, depending on your preference. Seasonal availability may affect flower selection.

Are the flowers edible?

Fresh and artificial flowers are non-edible and will be prepared safely for cake use. Any non-edible items must be removed before serving.

Serving guides are provided for each tier option. If cake is your main dessert, we recommend dessert servings; if served alongside other desserts, coffee servings may be suitable.
