Ordering a custom cake, step by step

Ordering a custom cake in Townsville should be easy. You talk to me, the baker, from first message to handover. Here’s exactly how it works.

  1. 1

    Enquire

    Fill in the quick enquiry form (or build your cake first to see a price). Add your date, guest count, ideas and any inspiration photos. I reply within 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Get a written quote

    Size, serve type, flavours, design level, extras, delivery, the total, the deposit and the balance due date, all in writing. Quotes are valid for 7 days. Your date isn’t held until the deposit is paid.

  3. 3

    A deposit locks your date

    A 50% deposit holds your date. Orders under $150 are paid in full, and so are bookings inside 14 days. You’ll tick to accept the Terms first.

  4. 4

    Design approved in writing

    We agree the design by message so there are no surprises. Changes close 7 days before your celebration.

  5. 5

    Balance due

    The rest is due 7 days before your celebration. You’ll get a reminder. Pay by PayID or bank transfer, or by card. No card surcharges.

  6. 6

    Bake week

    Your cake is baked fresh, and I check it against your order and any allergies.

  7. 7

    Pick-up or delivery

    Pick-up is by appointment at [PICKUP_LOCATION] during [PICKUP_HOURS]. Pick-up by appointment. Saturday afternoons and Sundays are delivery only. Delivery is available across Townsville, and tiered cakes are delivered and set up by me. A care card comes with every cake.

  8. 8

    Enjoy, and tell me how it went

    A day or two after, I’ll check in and ask for an honest review. If you said yes to a reminder, I’ll also send a nudge before next year’s celebration.

Lead times

How far ahead should I order?

Birthdays and celebrations

At least 14 days. For detailed designs, 3–4 weeks.

Big tiered cakes

2- and 3-tier cakes take more planning, so ask as early as you can. I deliver and set them up myself; see delivery.

Need it sooner?

Ask anyway. Inside 7 days there’s a rush fee if I have a free slot. Or try a Quick Pick.

Changing your mind or your date? The rules are in the Terms & Conditions, written in plain English. Delivery fees are on the delivery page.
