Yes absolutely 100%. I'm a qualified chef and all of our products are made with quality and flavour in mind. Every piece of cake, layer of buttercream and all fillings are made from scratch... you won’t find any packet mix cake in this kitchen. We source the best ingredients such as coverture Belgium Callebaut chocolate and free range eggs. This is reflected in our pricing. Quality ingredients are not cheap and baking from scratch takes a lot longer than packet mix.

Our online ordering system requires fourteen (14) days notice. We are not taking online orders for Mondays or Tuesdays. If you are after something for these days please inquire. However for custom orders we recommend getting in as early as possible, especially for big events and weddings as we may book out. Your order and date is not confirmed until payment of a 25% retainer. We understand that sometimes circumstances may mean you require something urgently. Please email us and we will do our best to help you out.

Of course! We offer cake tasting boxes that can be ordered online here: Cake tasting box – Bakes by Steph

We recommend you let us organise a cake topper for your cake if this is something you would like. For only a few dollars more than ordering yourself, we can work with you and you will get a custom product that fits the cake properly in size and matches the style. A cake topper is an important aspect in the decoration of the cake so it does impact the end product and will save you ending up with an oversized mismatching end product.

Unfortunately we do not provide undecorated cakes for you to finish (eg. with your own flowers) as it is not only a food safety issue, but it is also the Bakes by Steph brand that is represented and we wish to provide you with an amazing fully finished product that best represents our talent and style. We also have amazing local suppliers of flowers and cake toppers who we love to support and work closely with for your cake. 

When you inquire about our services we recommend you send any inspiration images you may have. Due to the nature of the creative and cake decorating processes we do not copy or replicate another artists' work. You are welcome to provide any inspiration photos or mood boards. Please consider booking a custom cake as similar to commissioning an artwork, there is an element of trust for your cake designer. If we don't fit your desired aesthetic or style we may recommend someone else who may be able to help you instead. We will always do our best to communicate with you, and create a cake you will love.

If you are picking up your order please ensure you place it in the boot or on the passenger side floor so that it is flat and steady. Please ensure car is nice and cold before pick up. Do not transfer cakes in a warm car. For products that need to be refrigerated, get them in the fridge asap. We are not responsible for any damages that occur after you pick up. You will be given a cake care card as well.

All inedible decorations ie. cake topper, fresh and dried flowers and foliage must be removed before cutting your cake. Extra tall cakes may have a support board inside the cake. Cut the top half of your cake first, remove the board and then cut the bottom half. If your cake is supported with dowels, remove them when cutting. We recommend you slice your cake vertically about 1" thick. Lay that down and cut into rectangles to serve.

If the weather is cool enough and you are eating your cake that day it is safe to store in a cool dark room at room temperature. If you are not eating your cake the day of delivery, or if it is a warm day, store your cake in the fridge and remove an hour before eating. Cake is best eaten at room temperature. Your cake will remain fresh if stored properly for 5 days. Leftovers can be wrapped well and frozen for up to 3 months.
