Choose a smooth, piped or textured buttercream finish, then add names, ages, florals, toppers or colour-led details.
At a glance
Made for this kind of celebration
For a soft, pretty cake led by flavour rather than structure, buttercream is usually the better finish.
Popular buttercream flavours include vanilla bean, chocolate, Oreo, coffee, lychee, and cream cheese, or a richer ganache pairing if you like.

Before you contact us
Plan the details
- ✓Choose the flavour direction before locking the design.
- ✓Tell us if the cake will sit outdoors or travel far after pickup.
- ✓Send colour references rather than only colour names.
- ✓Ask about design limits if the reference uses heavy fondant detail.
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.
