Reveal cakes in Townsville, with the news inside
Reveal cakes for Townsville’s big moments: a hidden message you pull out of the cake, or an edible envelope with a letter inside. Made for pregnancy news, gender reveals, proposals and “we’ve been posted”. Every one is a reaction video waiting to happen.
Made for moments
What’s the news?
If it's worth announcing, it's worth hiding in a cake.
"We're expecting"
Hand Nan a slice and a ribbon. Watch her read it.Gender reveals
A pull-out ribbon in the colour, or a message that says it.Proposals and "be my bridesmaid?"
The question is hidden inside. The answer is usually tears."We've been posted"
Telling the kids where you're moving, or "Dad's home" after a deployment.Keys, jobs, retirements
"We bought a house." "I got the job." "Finally retired."A letter in the cake
An edible envelope on top with a real note inside. For anniversaries and apologies.
Two ways to reveal
Ribbon or envelope
Both go on any of my cakes. The add-on price is on top of the cake you choose.
Edible envelope with a letter
add $30[Price to confirm]
A sugar envelope on top of the cake with your note tucked inside. Open it, read it, then eat the envelope.
Burn-away reveals (a picture that burns off to show a second one) are being tested in our humidity first. Keen? Mention it in your enquiry.
Your secret's safe
Nobody finds out early
I don't post it until after
Tell me it's a surprise and the photos stay on my phone until your reveal is done. I never tag you without asking.
Neutral on the outside
The cake gives nothing away. The message only shows when it's pulled or opened.
Film the moment
Set your phone up before the ribbon comes out. If you're happy to share the video, tag me and I'll ask before re-posting.
Safe to eat around
Ribbons and acetate are food-safe but not edible. I'll show you how to pull it and remove it before serving.

A bento cake with a hidden message is the sweetest way to tell two people. A 6-inch or bigger suits a room full. I reply within 24 hours with a written quote.

FAQ
Good questions
The things people ask me most. Anything else, just ask in your enquiry.
How far ahead should I order?
For birthdays and celebrations, at least 2 weeks, or 3–4 weeks for detailed designs. Big tiered cakes and busy weekends book out sooner, so ask early. Need something sooner? Ask anyway, or try a Quick Pick.
Are there non-edible parts on my cake?
Sometimes. Tiered and tall cakes have dowels or straws, and toppers, wires, picks or fresh flowers may be used. Please remove them before serving.
Can I share photos of my cake? Will you post my cake?
Please share and tag me! I only post your cake if you say yes on the form, and I never show faces or tag you without asking. Tell me if it's a surprise.
How much does a custom cake cost?
Custom cakes start from $140 for a 6" cake that feeds 12–14, and bento cakes from $45. The final price depends on size, design and extras. Every price is on the prices page.
