What Tools Do I Need?

Making your cake: you can beat your cake and icing by hand but a hand mixer will make it so much easier. You can grab a cheapy at the supermarket for under $15

Icing your cake: you can use a spatula but a palette knife is even easier you can buy these at cart.

Rolling fondant: we sell fantastic non-stick rolling pins at cart so you don’t need any pesky icing sugar

Which Cake Kits are the Easiest to Make?

We have taken care to design cakes that are achievable for everyone to make, but if this is your first time baking and you’re feeling nervous the 2D cakes are easier to ice than the 3D cakes.  Also the less fondant detail on the cake the shorter the time required to decorate.  

Am I Able to Change the Colours of a Cake?

Many kits already have colour options on the product page.

However, we are always open to helping you create the best cake to suit you, so feel free to contact us if you have a request not offered on the product page.

Do you offer Custom designs?

We’ve already created over 200 custom designs, you can check them out in the Custom Kit Category.  For a design fee of $30 we can offer NEW custom designs.  Contact us by email to chat about your requirements, there’s a chance the design you are looking for has already been made by another customer.

Making your Cake Kit

Which Box Do I Bake In?

You bake in the disposable baking box that all of your ingredients are packed into. The baking box has a white wax coating on the inside, brown paper on the outside and fold down sides. There is no need to line or grease the tray

How long Do I Bake the Cake For?

There are often variations in the temperatures of individual ovens, therefore we recommend you check the cake after 60 minutes and then monitor checking every 5 minutes. Don’t be tempted to open the oven door to check on your cake in the first 45 minutes as your cake may sink in the middle.

How Do I Know When My Cake is Cooked?

Your cake should be firm and when gently pressed on the surface it should bounce back.  If  you push  a knife into the centre of the cake it should come out clean.

How Far in Advance can I Bake/Ice the Cake?

You can make the sponge in advance and freeze if required. You can also bake the cake up to 36 hours in advance and store in an airtight container until you are ready to ice the cake. We recommend you ice the cake no more than 24 hours in advance to achieve the best finish.

How Do I Store My Decorated Cake?

Once decorating is complete keep your cake in the cake box it was delivered in, in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Don’t keep in the fridge unless it’s extremely hot and serve immediately on removing from the fridge.   Air conditioning is the ideal solution in the summer.

My Icing is Very Stiff Should I Add More Milk?

Your icing will be very stiff until you add the food colouring. Some cakes need more food colouring than others to achieve the correct colour, therefore we recommend adding the food colouring before adding any extra milk.
