Baptism/Christening
When should I order a baptism cake or christening cupcakes?
Order your baptism cake or christening cupcakes at least 48 hours in advance to ensure enough time for baking and decoration. For larger events or tiered designs, book earlier to secure production and delivery slots. The Cupcake Factory prepares each order fresh and delivers Sydney wide from Monday to Saturday, making it easy to plan ahead for your child’s special day.
Can I have a baptism cake delivered in Sydney?
Yes. The Cupcake Factory offers baptism cake delivery Sydney wide, including to homes, venues, and churches. Deliveries occur between 9 am and 2 pm, with live tracking available on the day. For morning ceremonies, consider scheduling delivery the day before and storing the cake in a cool, shaded place until setup. Pickup is also available from Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064.
What flavours are available for baptism cakes?
Popular flavours for baptism cakes include vanilla, chocolate, marble, and red velvet, each layered with smooth buttercream. Gluten free chocolate options are also available for guests with dietary requirements. Many families choose soft colour palettes such as white, cream, pastel pink, or baby blue to complement the classic look of a baptism or christening cake.
Can I personalise my baptism cupcakes or cake?
Yes. You can add a name, date, or short message to your baptism cake and choose colours that suit your event theme. The Cupcake Factory also offers custom cake toppers, crosses, or delicate floral decorations for both baptism cakes and christening cupcakes. For baby girls, soft pink or lilac accents are popular, while baby boy baptism cakes often feature pale blue or silver tones.
What size baptism cake do I need for my guest list?
The right size depends on the number of guests and whether cupcakes will be served.
- 15–25 guests: One tier baptism cake
- 30–50 guests: Two tier cake or one tier cake with cupcakes
- 60+ guests: Two or three tier cake with matching cupcakes
Christening cupcakes are ideal for large gatherings as they’re easy to distribute and travel well for family events.
How can I plan a baptism or christening celebration?
Ordering from a baptism cake from The Cupcake Factory helps you simplify dessert planning for the occasion.
- Choose a theme or colour palette such as white, blush, or soft blue.
- Select a baptism cake as the centrepiece and complement it with matching cupcakes.
- Coordinate your decorations with florals, ribbons, or a cake stand.
- Schedule delivery or pickup to align with your ceremony timing.
This approach keeps your setup elegant, organised, and easy to serve after the service or luncheon.
What are the most popular baptism cake designs in Sydney?
Elegant modern baptism cakes are trending in Sydney, often featuring white buttercream, soft pastel tones, and minimalist cross toppers. Floral details, lace textures, and metallic accents like gold or silver add a refined touch. For christening cupcakes, simple swirl tops with small crosses or initials are timeless and photograph beautifully.
How to choose a cake or cupcakes for a baptism or christening?
Choosing between a cake and cupcakes depends on your event size, venue, and serving style.
- Guest count – A tiered baptism cake works best for larger gatherings, while cupcakes are ideal for smaller groups or outdoor celebrations where serving needs to be quick and simple.
- Presentation – A baptism cake creates a beautiful focal point for photos, while christening cupcakes can be displayed neatly on tiered stands or given as take-home gifts.
- Flavour variety – Cupcakes allow for multiple flavours in one order, such as vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet, while a single cake keeps the flavour consistent.
- Convenience – Cupcakes are easy to transport and portion, whereas cakes require slicing and serving.
- Theme – The Cupcake Factory can match both styles to your chosen palette, with coordinated buttercream colours and cross or floral details for a cohesive display.
Both options pair beautifully together — many families choose a small feature cake for the candle moment and christening cupcakes for guests to enjoy after the ceremony.
What is the difference between a baptism cake and a christening cake?
Both refer to cakes made for a child’s religious ceremony, but the terms are often used interchangeably. A baptism cake typically celebrates the sacrament itself, while a christening cake can also mark the naming celebration that follows. The Cupcake Factory designs cakes suitable for both, using traditional styles that reflect the importance of the day.
Why order a baptism cake instead of making one at home?
Ordering from The Cupcake Factory ensures your baptism cake is baked fresh, professionally decorated, and safely packaged for delivery. Each cake features smooth buttercream, even layers, and delicate detailing that’s hard to achieve without experience. With Sydney wide delivery, your cake or cupcakes arrive ready for display, giving you one less task to worry about on a busy day.
