Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost for a cake?
The cost of your cake will vary depending upon the size and the complexity of it. A minimum cost per serving is $3.50 per guest for a coffee finger slice and $6.50 per guest for a dessert portion.
How much cake should I order?
The size you will need depends upon whether you are going to use the cake as a dessert or whether it will be served as a small coffee accompaniment after a meal. Square cakes are slightly bigger than round cakes.
As a guide, a 20cm round cake will be enough to give 30 guests a small piece to have with coffee. If you plan to serve the cake for dessert then the same size cake would enable you to serve 16 guests.
A 20cm square cake will be enough to give 40 guests a small piece to have with coffee or serve 20 guests as dessert.
Can you make cakes for people with allergies?
Yes, all special needs can be accommodated but all cakes will be baked in an environment where nuts have been present.
The decorating on the cake includes fondant icing, butter cream or ganache and all these products can contain sugar and/or dairy products and eggs.
Can you deliver the cake?
Wedding cakes will always be delivered and set up at the venue and the cost of this will be included in the price quoted.
Other cakes can also be delivered on request but are generally collected by the customer.
How should I store the cake?
After delivery and before serving the cake at your event, keep it at room temperature in a cool or air conditioned room but not a cold store or refrigerator. Putting the iced cake in a fridge will cause the icing to sweat when you bring it out and it returns to room temperature. This spoils the decoration.
If you have leftover cake and want to keep it for a long time you can freeze it. However if you expect to eat it within a few days, simply keep the cake in an airtight container.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payment can be made by direct deposit to a bank account, cash or cheque. A deposit of 50% of the agreed price will be due before commencing the cake and final payment must be made on either collection or delivery.
