      How soon should I order my wedding cake?

      Order your wedding cake or engagement cake at least two to three weeks before your event to allow time for design, baking, and delivery coordination. For multi-tiered cakes or cupcake towers, booking earlier ensures availability during the busy wedding season. Add your venue details and delivery time when ordering so The Cupcake Factory can schedule a smooth handover on the day.

      Can The Cupcake Factory deliver to my wedding venue?

      Yes. The Cupcake Factory provides reliable wedding cake delivery Sydney-wide, including direct delivery to wedding venues, restaurants, and event spaces. Deliveries are made Monday to Saturday between 9 am and 2 pm. For evening receptions, consider scheduling delivery earlier in the day and storing the cake in a cool, shaded area until display time. Pickup is also available from Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064 if preferred.

      What flavours are available for engagement cakes?

      Wedding and engagement cakes are available in classic flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, marble, and red velvet. Gluten-free chocolate is also offered for mixed dietary needs. Each cake is layered with smooth buttercream and can be finished in elegant neutrals, pastels, or rich tones to complement your colour theme. Cupcake towers can be mixed with multiple flavours to give guests variety.

      Can I personalise my wedding design?

      Yes. Every wedding cake and engagement cake can be personalised with your chosen colours, toppers, or decorations. You can add fresh or artificial flowers, gold accents, or a message plaque. Engagement cakes often feature elegant lettering or heart motifs, while wedding cakes can be finished with a simple topper or a small run of matching cupcakes.

      How can I plan dessert for a wedding reception?

      Planning your dessert table becomes easy when you start with your wedding cake from The Cupcake Factory as the centrepiece.

      1. Decide on your serving style.
        Choose between a traditional cake cutting and individual cupcakes for guests.

      2. Mix cake and cupcakes for balance.
        A combination of a tiered wedding cake and matching wedding cupcakes works beautifully for larger receptions.

      3. Coordinate flavours and colours.
        Keep the same palette across all desserts for a cohesive look.

      4. Plan presentation.
        Use a sturdy cake stand and tiered trays to keep the display neat and photo-ready.

      5. Schedule the cutting moment.
        Include the cake cutting in your reception timeline so your photographer can capture it as part of the evening’s key moments.

      What styles of wedding cakes are popular in Sydney right now?

      In 2025, Sydney couples are choosing minimalist wedding cakes with smooth buttercream finishes, elegant drip details, and subtle florals. Engagement cakes often feature semi-naked layers or soft pastel tones with gold or pearl accents. Cupcake towers remain popular for venues where space or serving time is limited, combining beauty and practicality in one setup.

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

      The ideal size depends on your guest count and whether cupcakes or desserts will also be served.

      1. 30–50 guests: Two-tier cake or one-tier cake with matching cupcakes

      2. 60–100 guests: Three-tier cake or two-tier cake plus cupcake trays

      3. 100+ guests: Large tiered cake with accompanying cupcake tower

      A wedding cupcake tower is a popular alternative to a traditional tiered cake, especially for outdoor venues.

      How can I style my dessert table with wedding cupcakes?

      Use your wedding cake or cupcake tower as the focal point of the dessert table. Surround it with simple florals, candles, or neutral linen to match your overall décor. Keep colours cohesive with your theme—white, champagne, sage, or blush are timeless choices. Display cupcakes in tiers or groups for a clean, organised look that photographs beautifully.

      How to choose the wedding cake that’s right for you?

      Choosing the right wedding cake from The Cupcake Factory depends on your style, venue, and guest list. Start by considering the mood of your celebration and how the cake fits into it.

      1. Match your theme.
        Choose colours and textures that complement your flowers, décor, or invitations. Buttercream finishes work well for relaxed garden weddings, while smooth or metallic details suit formal receptions.

      2. Select flavours you enjoy.
        The Cupcake Factory offers popular flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, marble, and red velvet, along with gluten-free options for guests with dietary needs.

      3. Consider the size and serving style.
        Estimate your guest count and decide if cupcakes or a smaller cutting cake would suit you better than a tall tiered design.

      4. Think about display and timing.
        Choose a design that fits your venue space and serving schedule. Outdoor weddings often benefit from sturdy buttercream finishes that hold up well in Sydney’s climate.

      5. Add a personal touch.
        Include a topper, initials, or a small message to make your cake feel unique to your story as a couple.

      Should I choose cupcakes or a traditional cake for my wedding?

      Cupcakes offer easy serving and portion control, while a traditional tiered wedding cake creates a striking centrepiece for photos. Many couples combine both, using a feature cake for cutting and tiers of wedding cupcakes for guests. This approach allows for variety in flavour and a more relaxed serving style that suits modern Sydney receptions.
