Cakes can be ordered instore, via our Facebook page or by completing our contact form. We'll take all the details, give you a price and then confirm your booking.
We ask for at least one weeks notice for orders - but the more notice you can give us the better. We can get booked up weeks in advance for some popular weeks (especially for Fridays and Saturdays). If you need a last minute cake or cupcakes please get in touch and we'll always do our best to help you out. We do have a range of everyday ready to go cakes instore but these are in limited numbers and flavours vary.
Our ready to go cabinet cakes are between $50 and $60. Our custom cakes vary in price dependent on flavour, size, decoration etc.
As a rough guide, a standard 8" rosette style cake is approx $110. An 8" single tier fondant cake with simple decoration is approx $150.
Most of our three-tier wedding cakes tend to cost around $350-$500, and two-tier cakes tend to cost around $200-$300 - although pricing varies a lot depending on the size and design.
This is just a rough guide to help you budget for your cake - we're very happy to provide a quote for you based on the number of servings, size and design of your own cake. Get in touch for a quote any time you like, we'd love to help.
Cupcakes can be ordered in multiples of 6 (or 12 for mini cupcakes) per flavour. We do have cupcakes available in store if you need smaller amounts or want a mix of flavours.
We bake our cakes and cupcakes as late as possible before pick-up/delivery to make sure they are fresh. Cupcakes are usually baked and decorated on the morning of the day you're getting them. Cakes are generally prepared the day before you're getting it, which means the cake is nice and fresh but gives it the important time needed to settle before transport.
Always keep your cake or cupcakes at room temperature, not in the fridge (the fridge will dry out the cake and may spoil the icing and decorations). We don't recommend freezing them. In the hotter months, be careful not to leave your treats in the direct sunlight or in a hot spot or car.
Your cake or cupcakes will be delicate, so please handle with care and keep the box level the entire time.
If you need to keep your treats a little longer, or you have any leftovers (unlikely, we know!), you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container until you're ready to dig-in (generally 1-2 days at the most).
The short answer is Yes we can. Delivery rates vary depending on where to and when you need the delivery to happen.
If you have a deadline for your delivery (e.g. the latest time you need it by), you need to let us know as early in the booking process as possible so we can schedule this appropriately.
Please mention that you'd like delivery when you place your order, and where this is to. We'll need the full delivery name and address, along with any special delivery instructions. Once we have all of this information, we'll be able to confirm whether we can deliver or not.
If you've booked delivery and you or the lucky recipient is not home at the time of delivery, we'll leave your order in a safe place (e.g. under cover on your porch, in your carport, with a close neighbour, etc.). We don't accept any liability for the treatment or mishandling of your order once we've left it at the delivery address. If you have special instructions for delivery, or you don't want us to leave your order if you're not home, make sure you let us know.
Of course. You can pick-up your order from our cake shop in Whangaparaoa.
We're happy to come to your wedding or event venue and set up your cake or cupcakes (additional charges apply). Please mention you'd like set-up when you place your order and we'll give you the details.
We have cake and cupcakes stands available for hire, just let us know if you want to hire one. Please note charges apply for stand hire, and you are responsible for returning the stand back to us, within the specified timeframes.

Any damage caused, or failure to return the tin on time, will be charged back to you and cause the forfeit of your deposit.

Just wanted to pass on a massive thank you for Carter’s basketball cake.
The guests were all very impressed.
As for the cake itself it tasted delicious. My son said it was so moist and so good! We all totally agree including my daughter who is not a big chocolate cake fan.
Many thanks again
