Follow your nose to Caked By Lisa at 101 Beach Street, Port Melbourne. When you get to the Spirit of Tasmania, you’re on the right track, as you will have 200m meters to go and you will smell the deliciousness oozing from my kitchen.

You can pick your cake up at a pre-arranged time from our kitchen located at 101 Beach Street, Port Melbourne.

When transporting your cake, leave it in its box and put it on a flat surface in the car such as the boot or the floor of the front seat. 

Please don’t transport your cake on the front seat of the car. You’ll enjoy it less eating it off the dashboard.

My recommendation is no more than 2 flavours, otherwise there are too many options for the guests. The attention should be on you!

If you would like more than 2 flavours, there is a $1.50 per person surcharge.  

*Please note: naked wedding cakes can only have 2 flavours. Red velvet can only be used as the top tier and not as structural layers.

Of course. I will require the florals delivered the day prior for wedding cakes. Please tell the florist if it is not fresh I will not accept it… only the best for my brides! If the delivery and set up is part of your quote, the florals can be delivered to the venue also for us to place onsite. We are happy to liaise with your florist directly to arrange the required quantities and delivery timings.

Our minimum spend is $250  

Every cake is unique therefore a lot of factors come into play when it comes to quoting your design.

The price depends largely on the amount of detail and time that goes into creating your special design. Factors that come into consideration when quoting your cake are as follows: 

- Icing and cake finishes - buttercream, ganache or fondant covered
- The number of cake portions required
- The detail of design in the cake
- Colour matching
- Ingredients and packaging
- Researching and purchasing of tools or stencils if required
- Number of tiers the cake has

For a rough indication: 

- Basic buttercream finished cake price per head $5.50-$6
- Basic smooth fondant finished cake per head $7.50- $8 

*Please note: this is a starting price indication, fresh floral, sugar flowers and intricate details are not included in the basic pricing.

If you have a budget that you would like to stick to, please mention this it so we can help guide you. 

Don’t hold back tell me how it is! Tell me how much we have to work with??

It is highly recommended that we deliver your wedding cake so it arrives at your venue safely. It’s another thing you don’t have to worry about on the big day! Make it my problem, not yours!

Our quotes include delivery and set up for wedding cakes that require this, based on a minimum spend.

Celebration cakes are a pick-up service, however we can deliver on selected days. If you require your celebration cake to be delivered, please put this in your notes and I will contact you to indicate if this is possible and to confirm a transport cost.   

We prefer courier deliveries rather than the snail mail. We will always consult with you on cost and best approach during our consultation.

The top tier is real, so you have the tradition of taking the top tier home while the remaining tiers are artificial for a flawless visual impact.

The exception is a naked cake, which relies on all the tiers being real to achieve the exposed sponge look.  

A separate sheet cake is then cut to guarantee even wedding cake portions in size and shape for all the guests, which is hard to achieve when the wedding cake is traditionally tiered.

This process ensures there is no fuss for the caterer/venue and you. You can also keep your cake on display longer as it doesn’t need to be taken to the kitchen for cutting.

Can’t wait to do this! Let’s get Caked.
