The following tips will help you order the perfect cake from Dreamy Cakes with ease! If you have a kid’s birthday coming up and you would like to order the perfect birthday cake here is a couple of tips that will help you order the perfect cake for the birthday girl or boy! 1. Select the date you need the cake for. This sounds kind of obvious but the date you need to pick up the cake might not be the date of the actual party. For example, if you are planning an early morning party at the park and need to get there at the ‘crack of dawn’ to grab the best table and set up the balloons and streamers, you’ll need to collect your cake the day before the party. Consider also if you have to travel to a certain location for the party (maybe the beach, or an indoor play centre), or maybe you don’t have a lot of party ‘helpers’, make it easier on yourself and order the cake for pickup the day before. The cake order date is also important because certain times of the year are more popular than others and therefore book out more quickly. Once you have picked the party date make sure you call as early as possible to get your order in so you don’t miss out! 2. Decide on the amount of servings you will need. At most birthday parties the cake is the centerpiece of the party and definitely not the only food on offer so there is no need to over-cater in size for the cake. Factor in...

Here’s a little sneak peak behind the scenes here at Dreamy Cakes…….a typical week in my kitchen…. Lots of delicious butter and mud cakes come out of my kitchen oven each week in a variety of flavours. Our most popular flavours are chocolate, vanilla and butterscotch. Can’t beat the smell of cakes baking! Fondant covered and buttercream covered cakes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Fondant can be coloured virtually any colour. Make the sugarpaste pieces – these are usually made ahead of time to allow drying. This week we’ve got lots of differents pieces including sugar people, owls, flowers, wired stars and a sugar race car. Sugarpaste is a type of edible dough that dries firm and can be moulded into any shape. Decorate – my favourite part is standing back and looking at the finished product! Box ’em up – all boxed and ready for parties. Dreamy Cakes can make lots of different cake designs – whatever your theme we can create it for you. Give us a call 0405 136 562 or email...
