Our Scrumptious Menu
There are many Truly Scrumptious cakes you can use for your special occasion be it a tiered Wedding cake, a spectacular Croquembouche or single tier birthday or individual cupcakes.
Chocolate has become the new ‘it’ cake. It is increasingly popular to use the Wedding cake for dessert these days, served alongside something like fresh berries and cream or ice cream.
Croquembouche
Traditional French wedding cake
is a speciality of mine and I have been making
them for many years. It is a tower of profiteroles usually filled with vanilla custard, and assembled with a golden caramel. These have to be built fresh on the day of the wedding.
The custard can incorporate other flavours such as chocolate or caramel or a light citrus flavour.
Dark Chocolate Mud
A very dense, moist dark choc cake, sandwiched together with dark choc ganache. It’s great to serve with berries/berry compote and ice cream. Made with a high ratio of melted choc and for
this reason costs more than standard flavour cakes.
Choc Brownie
A lovely moist cake with choc chips through it, layered with dark choc ganache and
raspberry jam. It’s lighter and cakier than a mud cake but still firm enough to stack for wedding cakes. A good all rounder and probably the most popular one I use, also good to serve with berries, ice cream, and the best one for using with other flavour combinations, i.e. choc rasp, choc cherry, choc banana, choc orange, choc toffee.
Caramel Mud Cake
An adaptation of a white choc mud cake, a creamy texture with caramel richness, made with melted white chocolate and dark sugar. Layered with a caramel buttercream and a creamy
caramel.
Red Velvet Cake
A light chocolate sponge with a vibrant red colour, layered with cream cheese buttercream.
White choc mud cake
A rich creamy cake, spongier than dark mud cake but again made with melted choc, very decadent!!
Other standard cake flavours
Coconut Lime Cake
A slightly textured coconut cake with zesty lime and layered with a white chocolate ganache.
Traditional Fruit Cake
Rich, moist, fruit packed cake, ideally made 3 months in advance to allow for the flavour to mature with a good dollop of Brandy. If necessary it can be made in less time. Usually covered with almond icing and then covered with your main icing. Costs slightly more than regular cakes.
Carrot cake
Made with sultanas or walnuts or both
Very moist. Usually layered with a cream cheese buttercream and orange marmalade.
Madeira Cake
Lemon butter cake layered with lemon buttercream and lemon curd.
Passion Cake
Passion butter cake layered with a zesty passion buttercream and passionfruit curd.
Vanilla Butter Cake
a firm, moist sponge cake, layered with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam it can also be combined with other flavours / fruits, e.g. vanilla/raspberry cake, vanilla blueberry or any berry really.
Banana cake
Made with fresh bananas – very moist! Usually layered with dark choc ganache icing and a creamy caramel.
Pineapple Cake
uses the same base recipe as carrot cake but without the sultanas and walnuts but with pineapple chunks added, also layered with cream cheese buttercream.
A Few Ideas
If you have a favourite flavour or combination we can incorporate that into your cake.
If you have any special requirements I do have various Gluten/ dairy free or even egg free options, just ask for more info.
Something to consider if you have only one or two people who have special requirements, you could always have an individual cake made for them. This would save costs, rather than making the main cake Gluten-free, as these cakes can prove expensive because of the ingredients.
Icing
You can have any combination of flavours for the tiers for a wedding cake and unless it’s a semi naked cake you are not able to see the cake colour under the icing.
For example you could have choc, lemon and red velvet cake tiers all with white fondant icing on the outside. However if traditional Fondant is not your favourite thing then there are also soft icings we can use to finish your cake.
For more traditional light coloured icing we can use either a buttercream, which is more of a creamy colour, or if you want a crisp white finish we are best to use a white chocolate truffle icing, either of these can be done with either a smooth, rippled or rustic finish.
If you like the idea of something more colourful in any of those icings that is something we can discuss in more detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Offer Tastings?
I offer a minimum of 10 flavours for $50
How far in advance should I order?
birthday cakes – ideally 2-4 weeks, longer if a big celebration.
How should I store my cake before serving?
I generally deliver cakes as late as possible in the day and set them up for display, meaning they are on display for as minimal time as possible, I would also recommend having the cutting of the cake ceremony after the starter so the cake is not on display longer than needed but also means the kitchen has time to chill it slightly before cutting for serving. Especially in the height of summer.
Delivery
There is a delivery fee for cakes and this is based on the location venue, if I am delivering the cake then I am happy to arrange any fresh flowers on the cake but these will need to ordered with your florist prior to the wedding.
Alternatively you can make arrangements for pick up. Some cakes with softer icings or chocolate will not be able to travel far in the heat of the day and so may need to be transported early morning, or you can arrange pick up the night before. Croquembouches are always built on the morning of the wedding and so will not be available before midday. Please feel free to ask if you are unsure of your requirements.
Bookings
Ideally at least 2 months notice is preferred for wedding cakes, but of course sometimes loves happens quickly! So always ask even if you dont have that amount of time left. If I can fit it in I will happily accommodate your request.
However, if you have plenty of time to plan your wedding please bear in mind that more people choose to get married between the months of November and April, so if your wedding falls within these dates I would recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment!
Celebration, Birthday or Desserts
2 – 4 weeks would be ideal notice for any of these. Again please bear in mind that November-April is Wedding Season and can be a busy time. But please feel free to ask if even if you dont have a lot of time to plan ahead.
Wedding/Party Favours
Some of these products can be quite time consuming so the more notice you can give the better. Some of them can even be made months/weeks in advance i.e. handmade roses etc.
Payment and Costs
My minimum order for any cake is $200, all my cakes are made from scratch and even the simplest cake will need a minimum of 3 hours to make
A 15% non-refundable deposit is required to secure a booking.
The balance of the cake will then need to be paid two weeks before the delivery date.
Testimonials
Your wedding cake is a very special part of your celebration. Sadie, you not only took our vision of what we wanted but transformed our idea into an amazing site. Our Ski field theme was everything we wanted and more. You even added your own personal touch. The cake was one of the things people commented on the most when talking about our wedding day. It truly was fantastic. Thank you Sadie.
Orla
Sadie made the perfect cake for our wedding – beautiful and elegant on the outside, and bursting with colour and flavour inside. I never knew a passionfruit cake could taste so good, and look so vibrant. Everyone loved it.
Sue
A huge THANK you for our amazing wedding cake (carrot with butter cream icing nom nom nom)! It was everything we had hoped plus some. The cakes were absolutely delicious! So good in fact, guests were stealing half eaten cup cakes from my mouth! Everyone is still talking about how good they were!! We should have ordered more than 120 because there was not one left! Most ate a second one for breakfast! You were such a pleasure to deal with Sadie! It was a stress free process, even though I was organising from Australia. Your e-mail communication was fantastic. Thanks for creating the picture in our heads.
