Frequently Asked Questions

Wedding cakes should be ordered at least 3-6 months in advance and other celebrations should allow 2 weeks’ notice (especially during Bridal Season September – March).  We require a minimum of 7′ days notice for all orders. We have a small selection of our standard cakes available in our display fridge for short notice, please give us a call and we will let you know what we can do for you.  

Our standard cake tier height is approximately 10cm.

We extend heights be adding more cake and filling layers, or by stacking an extra cake on top.

Extended heights:

1  1/4 = 12.5cm height

1  1/2 = 15cm height

x 2 = 20cm height (Double stacked, 2 cakes with internal supports)

Unfortunately, we cannot use fresh cream filling for extended height cakes – we keep the flavour but create a more stable cake with whipped white chocolate ganache filling.

Custom cakes and cake orders require a minimum of 7 days’ notice, more notice may be required during the wedding season. Cake orders may be possible with less notice at certain times (eg. outside of wedding season)

A quote is valid for 60 days, and is not a booking or guarantee of an order. 

We require a 30% deposit to book in an order. A deposit is required for any items not sold in our front display cabinet and/or over the value of $100.

The deposit or $50 (whichever is the lesser amount) is non-refundable, as is the Stripe online processing fee.

When payment has been made via Bank Transfer, we require the remittance advice to be emailed to: [email protected]. Your payment must be confirmed by our staff via email to book an order.

We require a minimum of 7 days’ notice to cancel or modify an order. The non-refundable deposit is applicable to all cakes, regardless of how much notice is given. Each case will be judged individually.

If any custom decorations have been ordered from our suppliers or made by our decorators, you will be required to pay for these. And this amount will be subtracted from the $50 non-refundable amount.

If given enough notice, we are happy to postpone your cake order and transfer all monies paid to the new date (within 12 months of original postponement). The cost of any custom decorations already made or ordered will be deducted if not used for the future cake.
