Choosing a flavour for the table

How to choose a custom cake flavour

Compare lighter sponges and richer cakes, then consider the guests, meal, finish and structure of the design.

01

Flavour is part of the brief

Flavour affects taste, filling, finish, and sometimes structure.

We offer sponge options and moist, richer options for custom cakes.

02

Pick a flavour your guests will love

A dramatic cake still has to suit the people eating it. Pandan with gula Melaka and rose with lychee are our signatures, the flavours Melbourne families come back for, alongside chocolate, strawberry, lemon, orange, red velvet, marble, and chocolate mud.

Tell us who'll be at the table. A mixed family crowd often loves pandan or rose lychee next to a chocolate option for the kids, and we can suggest a pairing that suits everyone.
