Yes, we do! In addition to the non-custom cake options available on our website, we can also create any cake you can imagine. Simply send us a message through the website to discuss your ideas.

How much notice do you require?

We need 48 hours' notice for most cakes, and you can book up to 18 months ahead. You choose your delivery or collection date when you order. If you need a cake sooner, get in touch and we'll see what we can do.

For wedding cakes, we recommend booking around 3 months ahead, but if we have availability we can sometimes take an order with as little as 48 hours' notice.

Brownies and cookies are delivered Wednesday to Saturday. Order by midnight and we'll post them the next day, so they should arrive the day after. You can also choose a delivery date months ahead.
