2. Tell me about a consultation for a Wedding cake.
Becouse Delicious treats couture cakes are designed specifically for you, to reflect the theme and style of your wedding, it is important to have decided on the theme and location of your wedding before arranging a consultation. Style elements to consider before your appointment include cake shape ( round or squire), number of tiers, colour, pattern and/or flowers. We work by appointment only. At the consultation we will sit down and discuss the elements (if any) that you've already chosen for your event from your dress and location to the menu and flowers. It is well worth showing the cake decorator colours of the bride and bridesmaid's fabric, sample of your wedding invitation. We incorporate all those elements into the design to create your own masterpiece . Then we have the testing portion of the meeting where you will try a variety of different cakes and fillings ( if you have special request please let us know before hand). After our testing a proposal with all of the information regarding your cake and a sketch will be emailed to you for review. On confirmation of your order we require 50% deposit to secure your date.

Delivery charges are quoted at the time of order.Our delivery range is roughly 2 hours from Sydney. Delivery service includes liason with the banqueting team at your venue and assembly of the cake.

7. May I have more than one flavor for the cake?
You may indeed offer your guests more than one flavor. This can be done in separate tiers.

7.What's up with freezing the top tier for a year?
The custom of saving the top tier began when it was fruit cake, which doesn't need freezing and, in fact improves over time. Most foods don't keep well for an entire year, and cake is no exception! It's lovely idea to have the your first-month anniversary, or when you return from your honeymoon. Delicious Treats always leaves the box for the top tier at your reception site, so the caterer can put it aside for you. We started our own tradition for first- year anniversaries: call us at least a 2 weeks ahead, and we'll be happy to make cake for you with our compliments.

8. What flavours do you offer?
All our cakes are made to order with the finest quality ingredients, so if you have a favorite flavour let us know. Popular choices are chocolate mud cake, marble, coffee & walnut, banana cake, vanilla, orange & poppy, red velvet to name just a few. We are happy to offer gluten free cake flavours. However these cakes are $50 - $100 more expensive than our regular flavours as gluten free cakes bake very low, hence we require more cake to achive our standard 4" cake height. ( Please note: there are artistic limitations when using gluten free cakes).

9. How much do your cakes cost?
Delicious Treats cakes vary considerably in price, however as a general rule our cakes range from AU $200- $2000. Our biggest cost drivers are size, or number of guests catered for, and the specialist required to create your chosen design. An alternative is a smaller display cake with sheet cake to supplement, which is served from the kitchen, this can decrease cost. Although the sheet cake can be the same flavour and filling as the cake on display, it's not decorated, so the labor is less.

10. Coffee versus dessert portions, how do I know?
If you are having a three-course meal or cocktail function your guests will generally require only a small taste or coffee portion. Each piece is about the size of a petit four. If you would like to offer a more substantial portion or serve it as course on it's own, we would recommend considering a dessert-sized portion.

Note: A dessert portion is roughly 2.5 x 5 x 9 cm high, while a coffee portion is half size of a dessert portion.

11. Are there any hidden charges?
Delivery is certainly an additional expense and will need to be discussed. Delivery with in the Sydney Metro area starts from $ 77.00. Sunday deliveries are available upon request and attract additional charges depending on location.

12. How do I care for my cake?
Delicious Treats cakes do not like being refrigerated as they are sweet and the colours can run. Keep the cake in the coolest room available (air conditioning is best) before the event. Refrigerate after cutting. If you wish to keep figurines or flowers these must be removed from the cake and stored with anti-moisture crystals in airtight container.

13. What factors will influence the cost of my cake?
As general rule the cost of a cake depends on how much artistic labor is involved. Therefore cakes that are a difficult or unusual shape or require a lot of fine piping or sugar flowers will be more expensive.

14. When is the final payment due?
Two week before the event you will receive a final confirmation by email. All details will be reviewed and the final payment will be calculated. The final payment will be due one week prior to the event.

15. Alterations
Alterations can be made to your order no later then two weeks prior to collection/delivery. If the alteration affects the overall cost then your balance will be adjusted accordingly.

16. Picture cakes
Delicious Treats have capability of printing your picture, corporate logos or images onto cakes, cupcakes and cookies.

18. Should I use fresh or icing flowers?
The choice comes down to personal taste, both can be accommodated and we are very happy to use icing or fresh flowers in our designs. It is not feasible to mix them both together on the same cake since flower moisture can melt the sugar icing. There is a price difference between the two and icing flowers are generally more expensive as they are hand made. Fresh flowers create a beautiful natural look and maintain a consistent theme throughout your event. However, it is important to remember the seasonality and availability of the flowers when selecting the variety.

19. I'm interested in Couture Cupcakes; can you give me an idea of what you have?
Cupcakes are a fashionable alternative to a traditional wedding or birthday cake. They make perfect sense at events where finger food is being served. Cupcakes vary in price depending on the decoration, at Delicious Treats they start at $6 and depending on how many people you are serving this could be very economical, however bare in mind that you will need to display them and they will need to be assembled on the day. This is the part most people forget when they are dreaming about their cupcakes castle and also where cupcakes can be more expensive then an ordinary cake. If you have not got a stand or dont wish to hire one we can make iced boards especially for your design for an extra cost.
