Cakes for Kids
When should I order a kid's birthday cake?
Order your kids' birthday cake at least 48 hours before the celebration to secure a baking and delivery slot. For weekends or larger themed cakes, book earlier to allow time for colour matching, toppers, or edible prints. Add your delivery instructions and event details at checkout so your cake arrives ready to serve.
Can I have my kid's birthday cake delivered?
Yes. The Cupcake Factory delivers kids' birthday cakes Sydney-wide, Monday to Saturday, between 9 am and 2 pm. For early events, request your preferred time when ordering or choose pickup from Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064. This location is convenient for families travelling to venues around the North Shore and the city. Delivery includes live tracking for easy planning.
What flavours are available for kids' birthday cakes?
Choose from popular flavours including vanilla, chocolate, marble, and red velvet. Gluten-free chocolate is also available for children with specific dietary needs. Each cake for kids is layered with smooth buttercream and can be finished in bright or pastel colours to suit your chosen theme.
Can I personalise my kids' birthday cake with a name or age?
Yes. Add a short name or age topper when ordering your kid's birthday cake. You can also include a message on the board and note any colour palette or decoration preferences. The Cupcake Factory team can adjust tones and toppers to match your theme, whether you are planning a dinosaur, unicorn, or space design.
What cake size do I need for my child’s birthday party?
Portion size depends on the number of guests and whether cupcakes are also being served.
- 10–15 guests: 6–8 inch cake
- 20–30 guests: 8–10 inch cake
- 40+ guests: 10–12 inch cake or cake plus matching cupcakes
For school events or large gatherings, combine a feature cake with mini cupcakes to make serving easy and reduce waste.
