01

Start with the details that shape the quote

A strong enquiry includes your date, servings, flavour, theme or design idea, reference images, name or age details, and pickup or delivery suburb.

That lets us advise what can be created before you commit.

02

Get in touch early

We recommend ordering about one month ahead. Peak-season and popular-date production spots can be taken earlier, so please order as soon as your celebration date is known.

Custom cakes require at least seven days' notice. Detailed designs and peak-season orders are best placed three to four weeks ahead.

Questions about this topic

Can I enquire before I know every detail?

Yes. Send what you know and flag the uncertain parts. Date, servings, suburb, and references are the best starting points.

Should I send photos?

Yes. Note what you like in each photo so the brief stays clear.
