FAQs

 

How much do your cakes cost?

Each cake is different, so I price each cake seperately. For a quote you can contact me here

How should we contact you?

Please use the contact page and include as much information as possible. Be sure to include the date, and the number of guests you wish to cater for. You can also contact me via Facebook, Instagram or by phone.

How much notice do you need for my cake order?

It really depends on how busy I am! Some weekends are booked up a year in advance, due to weddings or family commitments. The sooner you order, the better.

Delivery & Pickup?

Delivery: I deliver wedding cakes within Taupo and other cakes on request. (Fees apply.) Once the cake is delivered and set up the responsibility of the cake is transferred to the purchaser.

Pick up: Yes, you can pick up your cake. Each cake will come in a box and is prepared for transport. I recommend that you use a vehicle with a flat service surface, or if the cake is to go on a seat, bring a rolled up towel to place underneath so the cake isn’t sitting at an angle. Once the cake leaves the Calamity Cakes kitchen the responsibility of the cake is transferred to the purchaser
