Product Enquiries

  • Can you customise or alter the flavours/decorations listed on your website?

    Unfortunately not. We are unable to make any amendments or customisations to the product range that is listed on the website, as we do cater to a large amount of orders per day.

    If you are based in Sydney, we do offer The Selfie Cake, which you can upload any photo you want which will be a repeated image printed on the cake. This includes the recipient, yourself, any graphic, logo or character of your choice. The possibilities are endless!

  • What are the sizes of your cake?

    We offer three sizes of our cakes which increase in diameter. The height of our cakes are between 4-5 inches depending on the top decorations. All three sizes are not available for all cakes, we only offer the sizes listed in the dropdown bar of that specific product.

    Gift - 4 inch diameter (serves 4)
    Standard - 6 inch diameter (serves 12)
    Party - 8 inch diameter (serves 25)

  • How do I store my cake?

    Do not store your Cake Mail in a fridge.

    We have worked hard with our amazing bakers and cake decorators to create cakes that are delicious at first bite and best consumed when stored in a cool, dry place. If you refrigerate and consume your cake right away, this will cause the cake to harden and dry out.

    If you wish to consume your cake the day following delivery, please refrigerate your cake overnight in our packaging and let it sit in a cool, dry place 5-6 hours prior to consumption.

    If you have ordered a Selfie Cake, do not refrigerate this cake UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE as the edible image will bubble and cause the edible ink to leak.

  • How long can I consume my cake from delivery?

    Whilst our cake is best consumed on the day of delivery, our cakes last up to 5 days from delivery.

  • Do your products contain nuts?

    Some of our products do contain nuts. These products include the Ferrero Fountain (peanuts), The (Insta-famous) Nutella Ooze (hazelnuts), Kinder Ooze (hazelnuts), Scotch & Cake (peanuts), Gluten Free Nutella Deluxe (hazelnuts), It’s Wine o’ clock (peanuts) & The Bueno Surprise (hazelnuts).

    All our other cakes contain traces of nuts. If you're ordering for someone with allergies, we recommend reading the full product description for ingredients and whether the product contains nuts or simply traces of nuts.

  • Are your cakes Halal or contain Alcohol/Animal Fat?

    All our cakes are Halal friendly and do not contain alcohol or animal fat within the cake or frosting. Although there is no alcohol contained in the cake, we do have certain designs that include sealed alcohol bottles as a top decorator. These products include Scotch & Cake, Wine-O-Clock & Tipsy Cake.

  • What cake do you recommend?

    We absolutely recommend our Ferrero Fountain cake, it has an element of drama with the ‘fountaining’ effect and absolutely tastes SPECTACULAR & SUPER INDULGENT! This is our Sydney & Melbourne team’s favourite cake!
