How much should I expect my cake to cost?

Great question! There is a minimum spend of $359 which is for a standard 6” cake, yielding 12 dessert slices. Prices increase from here based on size, flavour selected, and design elements.

Click on the “price list” tab above to view cake starting prices based on size. Each cake is lovingly baked from scratch for your special occasion, so the final price is determined by the flavour(s) selected, size of the cake required, the addition of optional decorations (seasonal organic flowers or 24ct gold leaf), and delivery location, if applicable.

A comprehensive list of starting prices based on flavour can be found on the “Cake Flavours List” page. All cake prices include buttercream coating and simple, piped buttercream decorations on the crown of the cake (does not include palette knife painting and other intricate textural or finely piped decorations. We no longer offer this service and thank you for your interest).

How far ahead should I be booking a cake for my special occasion?

In an ideal world, we'd love to whip up cakes for you on the fly! But, in reality - Cakes are booked on a first come, first serve basis.

For those of you who are dead set on a Sunset cake, we’d strongly recommend sending through an email as soon as you’ve locked in your event date to arrange a 50% cake deposit, which will secure your booking in our bake schedule and avoid any disappointment. As a guide, peak season runs from September - mid December, and late January - April, and we tend to book out 6 - 9 months in advance . Please keep this in mind when planning your special occasion, and remember to snap up your favourites as early as humanly possible to avoid missing the sweet cake party!!

Single and 2 tier cakes require at least 3 week’s notice and are subject to availability.

Please note that we do not take bookings more than 12 months in advance, thank you for your understanding.

May we have a cake tasting?

So grateful for your interest, however, we do not have capacity to offer organic cake tasting boxes. If you do require a tasting before booking, we have a list of non-organic but very sweet caker pals we'd be delighted to refer you to! 🥰

Are all of your cakes buttercream?

Big YES to dreamy, creamy buttercream! At Sunset Cakery, the majority of cakes are coated in organic vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream and contain a variety of scrumptious fillings (specific details found in the Cake Flavours List). In our Signature Range, house blends of French couverture Valrhona chocolate ganache is used as a filling in select cake flavours.

Please note, we are devoted to feeding you pretty, maximally delicious cakes, thus do not use fondant in or on any baked goodies in our kitchen - sickeningly sweet stuff just isn't our jam. If fondant floats your cake boat, however, we have a lovely list of local fondant decorators we'd be happy to share with you!

Can I have fresh flowers on my cake?

Yes, of course! All cakes come with the option of adding either fresh seasonal display (non-edible) or organic edible flowers to your cake. Alternatively, we’d be happy for your event florist to supply the florals for your cake prior to the event

Can you make an allergen-free cake?

Sadly, our little Sunset Cakery kitchen does not accommodate the space required for allergen-free food preparation. All of our sweet treats are prepared in a space shared with organic gluten, eggs, dairy, nuts, and other delightful ingredients.
