How do I place an order?

No occasion is the same and every order may be different, therefore, each order will be quoted accordingly. If you would like to place an order, please fill out an enquiry form.

Once you have submitted your enquiry I will be in touch within 2-3 business days with final costings and recommendations. Please note: a 50% deposit is required to confirm the order.

How much notice do you need for orders?

I recommend enquiring well in advance to avoid disappointment - four to five weeks in advance is an ideal timeframe.

If you require an order within a short timeframe, please get in touch and I will do my best to accomodate your request.

How should I serve my cake?

The number of servings you will get from the cake depends on the cake size and the chosen portion size. The sizing portions are:

  • Dessert Size: 1”x2” - normally chosen if the cake is the only sweet provided.

  • Coffee Size: 1”x1” - normally chosen if other sweets are provided.

I will provide you with a recommended cutting guide on receipt of the cake.

All inedible decorations should be removed before cutting, including flowers, foliage and cake toppers. Please be aware that all fresh flower arrangements will have food safe wiring and tape supports which will need to be carefully removed prior to serving. Tiered cakes (and sometimes extended cakes) have dowels and/or a central cake boards for support and stability.

No, I do not have a shop front, as everything is handmade fresh to order in my certified home-based kitchen. Orders can be picked up from our home business in Hawthorn East, 3123 (exact address will be provided after payment has been made).

Can you accomodate dietary requirements?

For any dietary requirements, please make a note of this in your enquiry and I can discuss with you what options I can provide.

Please note that all of my treats are prepared in a registered, home based kitchen where dairy, nuts and gluten may be present.

How should I transport my cake?

When picking up your order, please ensure that you take precautions to avoid damaging the products. Cakes must be kept cold during transit and will be refrigerated until collection. I recommend placing the cake on a flat surface e.g in the boot or passenger footwell with the air-conditioning on. Once you have reached your destination, place your cake in the fridge for storage. For optimum taste and texture, the cake should be brought back to room temperature before it can be served. I recommend removing it from the fridge between 1.5 to 2 hours prior to serving.

Once the order has been handed over, I cannot take responsibility for any damage that may occur. To avoid disappointment, please adhere to correct handling, storage and removal of any inedible decorations or cake supports.

How should I store your products?

Cakes

My cakes need to be kept refrigerated and taken out of the fridge about 1.5 to 2 hours before serving.

  • If there are any visible signs of the buttercream softening too much, please consume straight away or place in the fridge to firm up.
