Hot Chocolate Mini Cake

Bring a sense of sophisticated warmth to your next gathering with our spectacular Hot Chocolate mini cakes. This artisan creation is a luxurious reimagining of a classic winter comfort, meticulously handcrafted by Dhi and our team to serve as a bold and flavorful centerpiece for your event. Available exclusively in party trays, these minis offer a seamless and high-end dessert solution for evening celebrations, weddings, or corporate functions.

The foundation of this treat is a remarkably moist, spiced chocolate cake that offers a deep cocoa profile with an aromatic warmth. We elevate the decadence with a layer of rich chocolate ganache, providing a velvety texture that melts in the mouth. To finish, each mini is topped with expertly toasted meringue, adding a cloud-like sweetness and a toasted aesthetic that captures the essence of a gourmet hot chocolate.

Designed with effortless hosting in mind, our party trays ensure a consistent, artisan quality that makes a striking visual impact on any dessert table. These portioned treats allow your guests to enjoy a complex, multi-layered patisserie experience without the need for slicing or serving equipment, making them ideal for mingling and social celebrations.

Every Hot Chocolate mini cake is made to order in our central city studio using the finest ingredients. Secure a tray for your next event by ordering online today for scheduled pickup from our patisserie inside The Welder.

While our team takes all necessary steps to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, traces may occur due to our kitchen being small and without ‘exclusive’ production areas for all of our different recipes.

Cake & Dessert Questions

Please read our FAQs page for an even more exhaustive list.

How many people will each size feed?

When choosing the size of cake, it's hard to say exactly how many people it will feed, but as a general guideline:

Mini Cakes & Desserts

  • These are intended to provide 1 serving per item

Loaf Cakes

  • 20cm - Provides 8 servings

Bundt Cakes

  • 25cm - Provides 16 servings

Desserts & Tarts

  • 20cm - Provides 10-12 servings

Layer Cakes

  • 15cm - provides 12-15 servings
  • 20cm - provides 20-25 servings
  • 25cm - provides 30-35 servings
Can you write something on the cake?

If it's a layer cake then yes, if you leave a note we can write something short e.g. "Happy Birthday Sam"

If it's a bundt, loaf, dessert, tart or our mini items then no unfortunately there isn't any space.

No Added Dairy/Gluten?

Due to recent NZ food labelling updates, I cannot claim any of my items are 'gluten-free' or 'dairy-free', only that I have not added any gluten or dairy containing ingredients.

While some of our products are made without allergen-containing ingredients, they are produced in a shared kitchen where allergens are present.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee they are safe for individuals with severe allergies.

Can I change something about the cake? e.g. decorations or ingredients

Get in touch with me if you have concerns about a specific item in a cake and we can see if we can accomodate.

We don't make custom cakes so cannot make new recipes for customers, only potentially omit ingredients or make minor changes.

Looking for flowers? - If you're looking for fresh flowers to add to your cake, you can order these from Petal & Co for pickup in Riverside Market.

Can you make me a custom cake?

Apologies but I don't make custom cakes, so cannot create something for you that's not listed on the menu.

Is it ok if we need to store it?

Yes, all of our cakes and desserts can be safely stored in the packaging we give you for 1-3 days without any change in taste or texture.

If you anticipate storing for more than this, it's best to freeze in an airtight container, however note that some of our decorations may crack from being frozen due to the expansion effect of moisture freezing.

Please let them come to room temperature before eating for the best experience.
