How can I combine cake and candy?
The easiest and most impressive way to combine cake and candy is with the Candy Cake from The Cupcake Factory. It’s already designed to bring both worlds together — a soft, layered buttercream cake covered from top to bottom in colourful lollies, gummies, chocolates, and fizzy sweets. Every detail is hand-finished to look like a mini candy shop, turning the cake itself into part of the party décor. With the Candy Cake, you get the perfect balance of texture, colour, and fun without having to mix and match treats yourself.
What flavours can I choose for the Candy Cake?
Choose from:
- Vanilla – a classic flavour that pairs perfectly with candy toppings.
- Chocolate – rich and indulgent for true dessert lovers.
- Marble (Vanilla and Chocolate) – a fun mix that keeps everyone happy.
- Red Velvet – soft, vibrant, and lightly cocoa-flavoured.
Every Candy Cake is baked fresh and finished with smooth buttercream icing that balances the sweetness of the lollies for the perfect bite.
How can I make a Candy Cake at home?
To make your own Candy Cake:
- Bake two layers of your chosen flavour and stack them with buttercream.
- Smooth buttercream around the cake and chill until firm.
- Cover the cake in colourful lollies, chocolates, and sprinkles.
- Finish with a drizzle of ganache or a few candy ribbons for flair.
Homemade versions are fun for creative bakers, but ordering the Candy Cake from The Cupcake Factory ensures a perfectly smooth finish and professional candy placement.
Why buy a Candy Cake instead of making one?
Buying a Candy Cake ensures a flawless, professional finish that’s difficult to achieve at home. The Cupcake Factory’s cakes are baked fresh, perfectly levelled, and covered in smooth buttercream with every lolly hand-placed for balance and colour. When you buy a Candy Cake, you also save time on baking, cooling, and decorating — leaving you free to focus on your party setup. Plus, you’ll know it’s safely packaged, stable for transport, and styled to look just as sweet in person as it does in photos.

Why choose a Candy Cake for a birthday celebration?
The Candy Cake is equal parts dessert and decoration. It’s visually exciting, easy to serve, and brings instant joy to children and adults alike. Unlike simpler cakes, this candy birthday cake creates a “wow” moment as soon as it’s unveiled — especially as a kids cake at parties or milestone celebrations.
How can I style a dessert table for a girly candy birthday cake?
Start with soft pastel colours like pink, lilac, and mint, and use glass jars filled with matching sweets for decoration. Add themed signage, confetti, and colourful plates to complete the Candy Land look. Place the Candy Cake on a raised stand and surround it with mini cupcakes or meringues for a balanced, photo-ready display.
What colour options are available for the Candy Cake?
You can choose from five buttercream colours — pink, blue, green, yellow, or purple. Each colour creates a unique mood: pink for a girly candy birthday cake, blue for a bright Candy Land theme, and yellow for cheerful summer parties. Whatever your palette, the Candy Cake can be matched to your celebration perfectly.
How far in advance should I order a Candy Cake?
Please order your Candy Cake at least 48 hours in advance. Each cake is baked fresh and decorated by hand, with extra care given to colour matching and candy arrangement. For larger events or weekend bookings, it’s best to order early in the week to secure your preferred slot.
How should I store the Candy Cake before serving?
Keep your Candy Cake in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. For warmer days, refrigerate overnight and bring it to room temperature before serving. This ensures the buttercream stays smooth and the lollies retain their colour and texture.
