Fondant doesn't pair with a naked finish — pick a different frosting first.

A pliable sugar covering rolled over a buttercream undercoat. Ideal for sculpted celebration cakes — perfect for sharp edges, smooth surfaces, and bold colour.

before you send itGood to know

Is this an order or an enquiry?

An enquiry. Nothing is charged when you send it. Irene reads every cake, then gets back to you to confirm the price and your pickup.

How much notice do you need?

At least 7 days for cakes up to 50 guests. For 50 or more guests, allow 10 days or more, as those cakes are a custom enquiry. Need it sooner? Call us on (03) 9646 0898.

How much does a custom cake cost?

From $92 for 6–8 guests, $106 for 8–12, $140 for 12–20, $145 for 20–25, $180 for 30–40 and $215 for 40–50. Pistachio sponge and pistachio cream add $10 each. Fondant covering adds $50 to $100 depending on size, and custom decoration is quoted by Irene. Cakes for 50 or more guests are quoted, usually between $300 and $800.

Can you make it gluten-free?

Mention it in your message and Irene will talk you through the options. Our kitchen handles gluten, so we can’t guarantee any cake is free from traces.

Where do I pick it up?

From the bakehouse at 210 Bay Street, Port Melbourne. We’re open 5:30am–6pm, seven days.
