Information is given related to the manufacture of your special cake from the Cupids Delight Team.
Cupid’s Delight has been making wedding cakes since 1998, giving us a total of 11 years in the wedding
cake industry. We have an international team of cake artists who come from all over the globe as well as
international training in cake decorating. From the United Kingdom, Peru, Italy, Sydney, Japan, France
and Western Australia, Cupid’s Delight keeps abreast of current trends and decorating techniques to
ensure our quality and presentation remains some of the best in Perth. Each cake is uniquely
handcrafted, from hand made David Austin roses to custom made figurines. We are specialists in
wedding and couture cakes.
It is advisable to book your cake 6 months in advance,. This is especially important if your function date is
between the months of September to May. We limit our bookings to maintain our high quality as we do
not mass produce our cakes. We can take orders less than the recommended 6 month period subject to
availability but please call us to discuss.
Once you have placed your order, and in particular for wedding cakes, our team is hard at work preparing
the decorations for your cake. Cake decorating is manually intensive and therefore very time consuming.
Roses, shells, custom made figurines are all individually handcrafted and take time to complete.
Cupid’s Delight is a specialist business and we can only produce a certain number of cakes. Our clients
book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Cake tastings are available to all of our clients however a booking is essential. The taste of the cake is
equally important as the way it looks. Our pastry chefs are continually trying new recipes to introduce
onto our menu. The tastings are with compliments at your first consultation. (Note: Gluten free and allergen
tastings are available only by request and subject to availability)
What is the current trend?
Many of our clients are now requesting larger cakes and serving the cake as the main dessert at the
reception (which can sometimes save on costs). There has a been a current decline in the popularity of
cup cake towers with many of our clients reverting to a more traditional cake.
A finger portions is approximately 2.5cm wide x 9cm tall x 2.5cm deep and a dessert portion is 5cm wide
x 9cm tall x 2.5cm deep. Sizes can vary from other decorators.
A finger portion is served to either take home in a cake bag (which you can purchase from us) or served
with coffee at the function. A dessert portion will usually be served and dressed by your function center
(please discuss your requirements with your co-ordinator).
No, Cupid’s Delight assemble your cake with sufficient support regardless of your chosen flavour.
If you are storing your cake after pickup from our premises, it is best stored in a cool, dry and level place.
If you have cake left over from your function, mud cakes will freeze well for up to 3 months. They are best
stored frozen with a layer of cling wrap followed by aluminium foil, then a final layer of cling wrap.Finally,
place it in an airtight container. All decorative items should be removed from the cake before freezing.
We also recommend to freeze fruit cake and this will keep well for up to 1 year.
Traditionally, the top tier has been kept for the 1st anniversary or for the birth of the 1st child, whichever
came first.
Most of our clients are still keeping their top tiers, but make their own tradition by enjoying the cake with
friends and family soon after the wedding day.
Cupid’s Delight only use fresh flowers on limited cake designs as most fresh flowers are sprayed with
chemicals or are toxic. As a result, we recommend that we assemble the fresh flowers on our cakes to
ensure minimal contact is made between the cake and the flowers. If you decide to choose your florist to
assemble the fresh flowers Cupid’s Delight is unable to guarantee the condition of the cake.
Cupid’s Delight cakes are customized and prices start from $400. The final price will be dependant upon
your chosen design.
Cake artistry is a form of visual art. As a sculptor creates a work of art, Cupid’s Delight creates a visual
masterpiece. Our cakes are made from the finest ingredients to produce a deliciously tasting cake which
is visually appealing.
Cupid’s Delight will not be the cheapest cake artists in Perth. Our focus is on quality products and
customer service. However, we will work with you to provide you with a cake that is suitable to your
budget. If we are unable to accommodate your needs then we will refer you to other reputable cake
decorators
Prices will vary between cake decorators as does the quality of the cake artistry. Ask the decorator for
information on the cake sizes, servings guide, view their work, taste the cake and read testimonials We
have received calls in the past requesting assistance to fix a cake disaster or make a replacement cake.
We recommend you base your decision on quality, not price. Check our page on “What to look for in a
wedding cake” as this is explained in more detail.
No. All of our cakes are delivered by our own cake artists who are well experienced with assembling and
setup. You may collect the cake if you so wish.
Our cakes are baked fresh on site in our commercial kitchen.
Yes. The Cupid’s Delight team are very experienced with food intolerance either through past work
experience or via personal history and understand the importance of this.
Custom designed/couture cakes are specifically designed for you. Whether you are having a particular
theme, have a hobby you want captured in a cake, particular colours and flowers – custom designing a
cake ensures you have a cake that is uniquely handcrafted for you.
Petite Cakes ™ are Cupid’s Delight’s branding of our cup cakes. We wanted to define our cup cakes as
a unique design. Our petite cakes ™ are not made from the packet mixes or sponge cake that most cup
cakes are made from. They are made from the exact same recipes we use in our mud cake range. This
means that our cup cakes are of the best quality, will last longer than the average cup cake, and that the
cup cakes are not dry. Our cup cakes also contain a cardboard
wrap around them which defines their uniqueness. Each cup cake
is adorned with handcrafted decorations, ready to roll icing, ribbons
and bows. The wrap arounds are available in over 200 different
colours and designs to choose from.
Prices of our petite cakes start at $9.00 per cup cake.
Our team take pride in producing innovative designs and therefore
cannot produce the standard cup cake with buttercream on top.
The average cup cake will last for around 1-3 days, at which after this time it can lose moisture and dry
out and/or develop mould. Our petite cake range has a life span of 4-7 days depending on which mud
cake recipe is chosen.
Do you charge to hire cup cake stands if I order cup cakes from you?
No we do not charge for hire of cup cake stands, however we do charge a bond which is fully refundable
upon return of the stand.
You can transport your own cake, however this does depend on the design and complexity of the cake.
Our team can advise you if your cake is safe for you to transport yourself. Cupid’s Delight is not liable for
any damages to cakes after pick up from our showroom as the environmental conditions will no longer be
under our control i.e. temperature, storage, and the speed in which you travel.
All of our cakes are made fresh and are baked 1-3 days prior to your function (depending upon flavour
chosen) Decorations for your cake are prepared well in advance as all our decorations are handcrafted
