Six quote essentials

The details we need before pricing a custom cake

For a useful first quote, we mainly need six things. Add the other details only when they matter to your order.

  1. 1

    Celebration date

    Tell us the date the cake is needed. Add the handover time only when it is important.

  2. 2

    Cake idea and references

    Describe the occasion, theme or gallery cake you like. Attach reference images if you have them, or ask for design guidance.

  3. 3

    Servings needed

    Give us the serving count so we can advise a suitable cake size.

  4. 4

    Preferred cake flavour

    Choose a confirmed Amour Desserts flavour, ask for a recommendation, or share another idea for confirmation.

  5. 5

    Personalisation

    Include the name, age or wording, colours, toppers and must-have details, or write ‘none’.

  6. 6

    Delivery or pickup details

    Tell us whether you prefer delivery or pickup and include the suburb, venue or pickup location.

Only add these when relevant

Handover time: Add it when the cake must arrive or be collected by a specific time.

Finish preference: Mention buttercream, fondant or ‘not sure’ only if you have a preference.

Budget range: Optional, but useful when you would like us to suggest a suitable level of detail.

Allergen or dietary questions: Mention these in the first message when relevant so we can discuss the request before the order proceeds.

Timing

Order ahead

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.

Budget

Share a planning range

A budget range helps us recommend a suitable size, finish and level of detail. We can also suggest where a reference design may be simplified.

A simpler option

For a smaller group, a shorter planning window or a set design, our online birthday cake range may be a better fit.
