Kids’ Cakes

For the kids or colourful adults in your lives!
Trio of cakes depicting possible design for children's cakes

We get the question all the time: Do you make cakes for kids?

Our answer is always the same: Yes! We make cakes for every occasion and every person!

The main difference between our “cakes for adults” and “cakes for kiddos” is a bit of whimsy and maybe a bit more colour! Our LenJo aesthetic remains pretty much the same.

As fancy as some of our cakes are, we love dreaming up fun and colourful cakes for your kiddos! (Or the colourful personality you’re ordering a cake for!)

We still hold fast to our values of being 100% team buttercream (using fondant only to accentuate our design) and placing a greater emphasis on great quality ingredients.

What’s Your Flavour?

Let’s explore one of elements that will make up your spectacular, completely bespoke custom cake: the flavour!

As a standard, each cake tier will have 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling.

Our extra tall tiers have 6 layers of cake and 4 layers of filling (split into two cakes of 3 layers of cake, two layers of filling divided by a cake board).

Although we have curated a small list of options available below, the sky is the limit! Tell us what your favourite flavours are and we’ll figure out a way to deliver.

We’re happy to provide both gluten-friendly and dairy-free alternatives for nearly all of our cakes and fillings!

Does Size Really Matter?

You hear the question all the time – does size really matter?

In relation to choosing a cake which will be the centrepiece of your special event the answer is: sometimes.

Size *does* matter when: there is a budget, there are other desserts/sweet treats at the event, your guests aren’t really cake people.

Size does not matter when: you want something to “look big” in photos, you want a 2-tier cake that feeds 8 people, or your venue/event does not allow for sufficient storage of a larger cake.
