How close to my wedding should I book the wedding cake?
To maintain quality, Art ‘n Icing limits the numbers of wedding cakes it does. It is a good idea to make initial contact with Art ‘n Icing when you book your venue.

How do I order a wedding cake?
Contact Art ‘n Icing to make an appointment. We will find a time that is convenient with you (weekends are very popular) for a free, no obligation consultation.

How do I order a wedding cake if I’m currently overseas?
Contact Art ‘n Icing (or have a New Zealand friend or relative do it for you) to make an initial inquiry. You can pick out the design you want when you return/arrive in New Zealand or you can send Art ‘n Icing pictures/instructions.

Are the pictures on this website the only designs available?
No, Art ‘n Icing has hundreds of designs to choose from and we are happy to work with any ideas you have.

Do you supply flowers and/or sugar figurines so people can decorate their own cake?
No, Art ‘n Icing specialise in creating beautiful, personalised wedding cakes.

Can you make a plain cake so my florist can put fresh flowers on it?
Fresh flowers can be problematic on wedding cakes; they can contaminate the icing (both the flowers and chemical sprays), they can wilt, and they are often not an appropriate size for the cake. Art 'n Icing can ice plain cakes suitable for fresh flowers but can not take responsibility for items added to cakes by other parties.
All flowers shown on this website are made of icing.

What is the most popular flavour for wedding cakes?
The majority of wedding cakes are now chocolate. The most popular flavour is our Moist Chocolate, which is rich without being too heavy.

If I have a three tier cake can I have three different flavours?
Yes, you can have each tier of cake a different flavour.

My relative would like to make a fruit cake for our wedding, can you decorate it for us?
Yes, we are happy to ice and decorate your fruit cake. We do not ice soft cakes (chocolate, banana etc) made by other people.

Is it possible to keep the top tier for our first anniversary (or first child’s christening)?
Yes, if the top tier is a traditional fruit cake it can last several years with suitable storage. Soft cakes like chocolate and banana are not suitable for long term storage.

Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, a deposit is required at least a month prior to your wedding date.
