Can I have…all of the things?

This has been the most frequently occurring dilemma in my life: how do I choose one thing when I really want all of the things?

Thankfully if you’re planning an event and you can’t choose just one feature dessert (i.e. a cake) then you’ve found yourself in the right place!

Below you’ll find a plethora of choices to help create the perfect dessert smörgåsbord for your wedding, event, or gathering.

First, let’s organize our thoughts.

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.

I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller…

When a little height makes a *big* difference!

If you’re displaying your cake as a centrepiece at your special event, then it needs to take on the look of a centrepiece.

Your cake needs to be easily spotted across the room, draw attention to itself, and announce, “Here I am! Come look at me!” if that’s the vibe you want!

The easiest way to achieve this is by placing your beautiful cake on a stand.

You’re providing height, adding drama (depends on how ostentatious your stand is), and allowing your cake to take centre stage with authority!
