Just a note - I always steer clear of unnatural food colourings, fondants and other decorations. DIETARY REQUIREMENTS AND ALLERGIES I can make vegan weddings cakes from my extensive vegan menu, and these can be iced with my vanilla bean dairy-free icing. All of my cakes can be made gluten-free, but please be aware my team works in a very small kitchen so this option isn’t applicable for coeliacs. I cannot accommodate any nut allergies. COLLECTING YOUR WEDDING CAKE Wedding cakes are far too precious to be delivered by a courier, and since I have a small team we are unable to deliver ourselves. Cakes can be picked up the day before or the day of the wedding and will be packaged safely for transport. We’ve had couples drive a few hours out of Auckland or travel on the ferry to Waiheke with no problems at all. SIZING AND PRICING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS The largest tiered cake I make feeds 100 people with generous dessert serves. If your wedding is for more than 100 people, I can supplement your tiered cake with service cakes, minicakes and / or babycakes! Our size options are as follows...

Minicakes (batches of 9) $65-75 $75-85 If you cancel your cake 72 hours before collection, I am happy to refund your order minus a $100 administration fee. If you cancel within 48 hours of collection, I will be unable to process any refunds as by this point your cake is already in the process of being made, therefore your cake can still be collected and enjoyed in another capacity. DO DARK TIERS AND LIGHTER TIERS LOOK NICE TOGETHER? Yes, I think they look beautiful! I can send you some past wedding cakes in this style if you’re still unsure. CAN WE ORDER EXTRA TASTERS? You can order as many samples as you like, the first four are free of charge and they are $8 for any extra. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO WE NEED FINALISE OUR ORDER? Ideally I would prefer as much notice as possible, but I can always make something work with 72 hours notice. CAN OUR FLORIST DECORATE OUR CAKE? Absolutely! If your florist is already sourcing flowers for your wedding this can be a lot easier as I mainly stock roses. I can leave the cake completely plain for them to work their magic on. DO YOU HIRE CAKE STANDS? I don’t have any cake stands available for hire, all of our tiered cakes come on a sturdy 12” board so if you’re looking for a stand make sure it’s at least 12”. I don’t suggest you remove the cake from this board, instead place it directly on your sourced stand. You can also contact us by emailing [email protected].
