As we are a custom cake studio all our products are made fresh for each order. If you are needing a cake in a short turn around, please make your enquiry via our website to see if design can be accommodated.

If we have confirmed that delivery is an option for your order then the delivery time will also be confirmed. We often get asked about requesting delivery times. The reason you cannot request this is that delivery times are set due to scheduling and location. Please ensure someone is home to accept the delivery. If you are not home, the order will be left at the door.

Not all customised orders can be delivered. Please make your preferred option and this will be addressed once the quote is prepared.

If delivery is confirmed by us the delivery fee is calculated on the distance travelled. If your cake requires assembly on site, this cost will be factored in.  These items will show on the quote if applicable. Otherwise all customised orders are strictly pick up only. 

No Deliveries on Sunday Pick up only.

A coffee portion is 2.5 cm  x 2.5 cm x height of the cake, typically known as a finger slice. Dessert portion 2.5 cm x 5 cm x the height of the cake. Our cake height is approx 6 inches.

Cake sizes are calculated on an industry standard to ensure you have enough cake.  If you have a main dessert as part of your menu, then a coffee serve is required. If you have no other desserts or sweets offered a main portion is required. If a dessert table is being arranged a coffee portion is required as your guests may enjoy other treats as well. This is a guide as to how cake is serve and calculated, however if you prefer to have left over cake, serve a larger portion or would like the cake to be all eaten by the end of your event please let us know so cake sizes can be adjusted. We are not responsible for the cutting of cake at your venue

All our cakes are baked as needed so super fresh for each order, at the end of your event any left over cake can be stored at room temperature for approx 7 days or up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Alternatively it can be cut into portions and frozen for up to 6 months to be enjoyed another day. 

All mud cakes should be cut with a hot knife to give the cleanest cut.
