Frequently Asked
These are the most frequently asked questions when it comes to weddings and special events.
Can you send me a menu? What are your options?
All of our cake & dessert options are visible here on this page/online, so you're not missing out on anything.
For petit-fours, we will make them in the flavours you'd prefer, so our images are just for reference.

Our mini cakes, and mini desserts have options for people who need something without added gluten.
Our bundt & loaf we have options for people who need items without added dairy.
We don't currently offer anything that is both gluten and dairy free at the same time.
Can I try a flavour of cake
We don't specifically make tasting boxes, but our most common flavours are for sale in Christchurch at our Patisserie in the Welder.
This is where you'll also find a selection of our mini cakes and desserts.
Do you charge more for a wedding cake
No, we charge the same price as any other customer, this is because we don't create custom cakes - we will stack your tiers on top of each other and swap decoration for you at no additional cost.
What decoration options do I have? Can you create a decoration for me?
For decorations, you can select any combination of the decorations you see on our cakes.
Our decorations are made of ganache and chocolate elements - we don't use fondant or colourings, and we don't currently create custom decorations.
Many people choose to place flowers on or around their cakes - just be careful to select flowers that are non-toxic to avoid any reactions from your guests.

Do you Deliver? Can I get a cake for somewhere outside of Christchurch?
No we don't provide delivery of our cakes, so they will need to be picked up from our location at The Welder at the date/time you select.
We don't recommend any cake travel outside of Christchurch due to the risk of damage in transit.
What am I picking up? How is it packed?
You'll pick up your wedding cake already assembled in a cake box with the top cut open (if multiple tiers).
Bring help to carry, and ensure your transport slowly on a flat surface.
Our mini cakes and other items we will package in a catering box for you
How do I order?
You are very welcome to directly order online, you can select a combination of layer cakes, and mini cakes and leave a note letting us know this is for your special day.
When ordering you select the date/time you will pick up the cakes from our patisserie at The Welder - ideally this is the day before your event to avoid stress for yourself.
If you would prefer us to place the order for you, please contact us.
How do I store everything?
Ideally you'll pick up your items the day before to minimise stress, they can all be stored directly in a fridge in the packaging we provide overnight without any change in taste or texture.
Our catering boxes can be stacked on top of each other, but any wedding cakes should be on their own shelf.
