01

How much time do you need?

For most pastry shop orders 1 days notice is required. The exception is for entremet cakes and chocolates depending on what stock is on hand. 

For wedding cakes a minimum notice of 2 weeks is required. There are only two of us in the kitchen so we do have a capacity of quantity we can do, we recommend that you book your cake no later than 3 months out to ensure your date.

02

Do you do tastings? Can I design my own flavour?

Tastings are available from $20 for samples of four flavours from the standard and special menu. Tasting of custom designed cakes is not available, you can however order a 6" cake in your flavour for $40 to try.

Making up flavours is our favourite thing to do. Check out our design a cake flavour page. Want to try my favourite? It's the snickers... or  maybe the lemon, raspberry and passionfruit... ARGHHH! Too many choices!
