It seems like a lot to read, but It will answer all your questions before you even knew you had them. So please take the time to read the guide and the T&C’s.

THE GUIDE:

How many people does a cake feed?

You can decide between a Square cake and a Round cake depending on the design you would like.

ROUND

15cm (6inch) – 8-10 servings

20cm (8inch) – 20-30 servings

25cm (10 inch)  – 30-50 servings …

SQUARE

15cm – +-18 servings

25cm – +-30 servings

(Depending on how you cut it, above is a small cutting guide)

What is a Tier and What is a Layer?

A Single tier is when you put 2 or 3 layers of cake of the same size on top of each other.

A Tier is when you have a bigger size layer cake on the bottom and a smaller layer cake on top. This will count as 2 tiers.

What flavours I have available that you can choose from.

Sponge ( The cake part)

• Butter Vanilla
• Chocolate
• Strawberry
• Raspberry
• Cappuccino
• Toffee
• Caramel Popcorn
• Salted Pretzel
• Lemon
• Bubblegum
• Blueberry
• Choc-Mint
• Oreo Cookie
• Candy Cane
• CheeseCake
• Coconut
• Hazelnut

What’s in the middle? (The X-Factor!)

You can have the cake filled with Any of the above Flavours in the following creams.

American Butter Cream – ( Butter & Icing Sugar )

Itallian Merangue Butter Cream – ( a delightful egg white buttercream)

Cupcake Corner Butter Cream – ( American Buttercream with fresh Cream Whip )

What’s on Top? (To Fond or not to Fond)

Fondant is used to cover some cakes after Butter Cream is applied to change the look of a cake OR to add special figurines etc. Fondant is NOT almond paste. It is a mixture of prepared Marshmallows & Icing Sugar and can be Eaten.  A few days is needed in advanced to create and dry any figurines. Especially in our climate.

Drips

Chocolate Ganache is a mixture of Cream and Chocolate that is used to create a drip effect on the cake OR when Metallic Colours are wanted for drip I use Icing sugar and lemon juice

Macarons

I can add Macarons to your cake at an extra cost, no one in Ballito is currently making them due to the Humidity and they need to be brought in from a supplier. A few days notice is needed. Colour can not be guaranteed. I can however make Meringues in any colour fill it with buttercream to make a mock macaron.

Edible Prints

Edible Prints can be added to your cake, but I need to order them a week ahead from my supplier so keep that in mind. They are also at an extra cost.

Rice Paper edible Designs

These can be created as well, but again, a weeks notice is required.

When I get prices of the cake what is included?

Your cake price includes:

• The best ingredients

• Time and Effort
• Expertise and patience
• All the time it takes to chat on whatsapp discussing the cake & design

Please note that under no circumstances can anyone request for a cake to be delivered at 9am and at 8am request me to add flowers or balloons or things that require special attention, I am unfortunately not Willy Wonka and I don’t have my own factory (as much as I’d like one) .
