How can I make a cake feel more personal for a big event?
Adding a photo, logo or message can transform a cake from simple to truly personal. The Slab Cake gives you a full buttercream canvas to showcase your chosen design, whether it’s for a milestone birthday, a corporate cake, or for a school celebration. It’s a memorable way to bring your theme together and add a thoughtful touch guests will notice.
Can you put an image on a cake?
Yes, this is definitely possible. Having an image on your cake makes it instantly recognisable and meaningful. The Slab Cake with image allows you to feature your branding, a family photo, or a themed graphic on top. This works particularly well for company events, graduations, or children’s birthdays, where the cake becomes a centrepiece as well as a treat.
What should I do to prepare for an office party?
The key to any successful office party is having a centrepiece everyone can enjoy. Here’s how to get ready:
- Confirm your numbers early so you order the right cake size (small, medium, or large slab).
- Order the Slab Cake with Image or Logo – it doubles as dessert and a statement piece with your company logo, team slogan, or custom design.
- Match the theme by choosing coloured piping that ties in with your brand or event style.
- Plan catering around the cake – light snacks and drinks work well when the cake is the focus.
- Organise delivery or pick-up from Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064 to have it ready on time.
- Set the cake table as a focal point for photos, speeches, or the big cake-cutting moment.
- Coordinate decorations so they highlight, rather than distract from, the cake.
- Prepare clean-up supplies so everyone can enjoy themselves without worrying about the mess.
What cake is best for corporate events?
Slab cakes are an excellent option as a corporate function cake, as they serve large groups with ease while maintaining a professional presentation. The Slab Cake with a customisable logo or branded image combines practicality with impact – simple to portion, visually striking with your company branding, and available in flexible sizes to suit staff events, product launches, or client celebrations.
Can I DIY a cake with a printed image on top?
You could attempt to bake a large rectangular cake and then smooth buttercream across the surface. This is achievable for most home bakers. The challenge lies in sourcing an edible print that achieves neat edges, even coverage, and prevents the image from smudging. When searching for a slab cake near me, it is best to choose our Slab Cake from The Cupcake Factory, which saves time and guarantees a professional finish, giving you a cake that looks as good as it tastes.
How many people will a custom slab cake serve?
The Slab Cake With Image or Logo is available in three generous sizes to suit different gatherings:

- Medium (25cm x 45cm x 10cm) – serves 60 to 65 people
- Large (25cm x 60cm x 10cm) – serves 90 to 100 people
This flexibility makes slab cakes ideal for both intimate parties and large-scale events.
What flavours are available for a slab cake?
You can order the Slab Cake With Image or Logo in three classic flavours:
- Vanilla
- Chocolate
- Red Velvet
Each option is paired with smooth buttercream and piping in your choice of colours, allowing you to match your cake to your event theme.
How far in advance should I place my order for a custom slab?
We recommend ordering the customisable Slab Cake at least 48 hours in advance. If you’re planning a larger event or require additional customisation, providing extra notice is advisable. For weekend events, it’s wise to order by midweek to secure your booking.
Can I arrange pick-up or delivery of a slab cake to my office?
Yes, corporate customers can collect the Slab Cake with Image or Logo directly from our store at:
- Unit 6, 43 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064
Alternatively, delivery is available across Sydney, direct to the office, with fees varying by suburb and confirmed at checkout. This flexibility makes it easy to schedule corporate cake arrival around office events, meetings, or client functions. When searching for a slab cake near me, buying from The Cupcake Factory is an easy option for delivery.
How should I store the cake before serving?
To keep your customisable Slab Cake fresh, store it in an airtight box at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as buttercream can harden and the sponge may dry out. Keep it in a cool place away from sunlight until it’s ready to be enjoyed.
Can I customise the colours or add writing to the slab cake?
Yes, the customisable Slab Cake allows you to choose piping colours and add hand-piped writing for a small extra fee. Combining coloured borders, text, and your image gives you complete creative control.
