We don't have any nuts in the majority of our cupcakes (except the Indulgent range) but we do advise that there may be traces of nuts as our kitchen is not a nut free kitchen.

All of our cakes and cupcakes have eggs. Our decorations also contain eggs. We don't have any dairy free cupcakes or lactose free cupcakes.

We encourage you to enjoy our cupcakes at their freshest on the day of purchase. However, they will stay fresh for up to two days if they are stored correctly.

We recommend storing the cupcakes at room temperature and as airtight as possible. Please do not refrigerate our cupcakes.

We recommend storing the cake in the fridge overnight and then taking it out about 3-4 hours before your event to bring back to room temperature.

Please note: All our cupcakes/cakes are individually handmade and made to order with great care and attention to detail. Therefore, slight variations in colour, design, and decoration may occur. While we make every effort to replicate the design you have chosen as closely as possible, we cannot guarantee an exact match. Each cupcake is unique, and these variations are part of what makes your cake one of a kind. Thank you for understanding and supporting our business. Please click here for our FAQs

I need a simple, classy cake. What should I choose?

Pick a tall buttercream cake with classic, even piping. The Elegant Swirl Cake is pared-back and versatile—its smooth sides and neat top swirls suit birthdays, afternoon teas and office celebrations without overpowering the table.

What cake to get for an engagement party?

When looking for the perfect engagement party cake, choose the Elegant Swirl Cake in a soft, neutral shade (white, ivory, or blush) with a subtle shimmer and a discreet message on the board. Size options range from 8″ to 10″, double height, ideal for hosting a larger gathering. Pair it with a few matching mini desserts for a cohesive look.

How to organise an engagement party?

  1. Set a short run-sheet: welcome toast → cake moment → photos.

  2. Choose a simple colour palette that matches the Elegant Swirl Cake from The Cupcake Factory.

  3. Style a small grazing table: cheeses, fruit, crackers, plus glassware and linen.

  4. Position the cake on a pedestal near good light for the slice-and-photo moment.

  5. Keep speeches brief.

  6. Create a small photo spot with a vase of flowers that matches the cake.

How can I make a swirl-topped cake at home?

  1. Bake two round layers, level, fill and crumb-coat; chill briefly.

  2. Apply a smooth final coat of buttercream and sharpen the top edge.

  3. Fit a star tip and pipe evenly spaced rosettes or swirls around the top.

  4. Finish with a subtle shimmer or a fine ribbon at the base.

Clean, symmetrical swirls and straight sides take practice; ordering the Elegant Swirl Cake gives you uniform piping and tidy edges.

How is an elegant swirl cake decorated?

A smooth buttercream finish topped with classic swirls and a soft, elegant sheen. The default colour is white, but you can request a different swirl colour to match your palette.

Why buy a custom, elegant swirl cake rather than bake?

Professional smoothing and piping keep the silhouette crisp, save time on the day, and make transport simpler with a boxed, ready-to-serve finish.

What sizes and serves can I choose for an elegant swirl cake?

  • 4″ double height: up to 8 serves

  • 6″ double height: up to 20 serves

  • 8″ double height: up to 35 serves

  • 10″ double height: up to 50 serves

What flavours are on offer for elegant cakes?

  • Vanilla

  • Chocolate

  • Marble (Vanilla & Chocolate)

  • Red Velvet

How much notice do I need when ordering elegant cakes?

Allow 48 hours for baking, decorating and boxing. All cakes are baked and decorated fresh to order. 

Where can I buy elegant cakes in Sydney?

Order online for Sydney delivery or collect from Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064 (choose a pickup slot at checkout).

What are the storage requirements for elegant cakes?

If collecting early, refrigerate the boxed cake overnight. Bring it to room temperature 3–4 hours before serving, so the buttercream softens. Keep it away from direct heat and sunlight.

Are elegant cakes trending?

Yes — elegant cakes are very much in style. Current trends favour clean buttercream textures, single-colour finishes, and subtle detailing like fine piping, metallic edging, or soft pastel tones. These designs photograph beautifully and adapt easily to different occasions, from milestone birthdays to engagement parties.

Can I change the colour or add a message to elegant cakes?

Yes. Request your preferred swirl colour at checkout and add a short board message if you’d like.
