How much notice do I need to give when ordering custom cupcakes for a kid’s party?
Orders require at least 48 hours’ notice. This ensures the Under the Sea Cupcakes are baked fresh and decorated in time for your event.
How do I keep buttercream cupcakes fresh before serving?
Keep your Under the Sea Cupcakes in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. If storing overnight, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. On hotter days, light refrigeration may help, but bring them to room temperature before serving for the buttercream to soften.
Where can I get under the sea cupcakes in Sydney?
When ordering from The Cupcake Factory, you can choose either option:
- Pick-up: Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064
 
- Delivery: Sydney-wide delivery is available, with costs calculated at checkout.
 
Why are custom cupcakes a better option than a whole cake?
Cupcakes are easier to serve because they come in individual portions, removing the need for slicing and plating. The Under the Sea Cupcakes also act as themed décor, while a plain cake often requires additional styling to achieve the same effect.
What other themed cupcakes or cakes go well with under the sea cupcakes for a party table?
These cupcakes can be paired with other character or themed products for variety. Options like the Mermaid Tail Drip cake work well if you want to mix different looks on a dessert table while keeping everything on-theme, fun and child-friendly.
