For celebration cakes, we require at least three-week notice as this provides enough time to discuss, confirm quote and finalise the details To check availability please contact.

How much cost your cakes?All our cakes are custom made. Each cake incorporates so many factors and the price for our cakes will depend on the number of servings, the number of cake flavours, the number of elements composing the design and other specifics important for your event. Sometime a small cake may take longer to create than a large one, and thus, it will be priced higher per serving. To discuss your order, please fill in the enquiry form here.
