What size baptism cake do I need for my guest list?

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.

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.

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.
