SWEET FLAVOURS
Our amazing range of flavours is a real highlight of ordering from Sweet Bakery & Cakery! Here's a little bit more info about each of our delicious flavours to help you pick.
Icing colours:
Some of our flavours have certain coloured/textured icing from the natural ingredients we use (as noted below for each flavour). But if you don't like that look, we can use the flavoured buttercream inside the layers of sponge, and vanilla buttercream outside the cake (which can be any colour you fancy!). This is great if you'd prefer a certain colour on your cake, or for example if you'd like a raspberry cake but it's for a boy who doesn't want a pink cake! This only applies to cakes - sadly we can't hide the coloured/textured icing on cupcakes. If you'd like a colour scheme on your cupcakes the flavour options are only: Vanilla, Choco-Vanilla, Lemon or Chocolate Peppermint. Happy choosing!
Flavours:
These flavours are for both cakes or cupcakes. For cupcakes, you can choose 1 flavour per 12 big or 24 mini (or more if you order more - e.g. 2 flavours per 24 big or 48 mini, and so on), or if you can't decide, go for our "Lucky Dip" option (a random mix of 3-4 yummy flavours).
Chocolate-based flavours keep the best, so if your cake is ordered a day ahead, we recommend chocolate based flavours.
We also create lots of one off special flavours (think Tim-Tam Smash, Cookie Dough, Caramel Popcorn and Cinnamon Donut...) for our cake shops on Karori Road and Cuba Street - make sure you pop in to try them soon.
Naked Cake Flavours:
These special crazy flavours are only available in our delicious "Naked Cakes" range. Check out our Cakes page for more info!
Decadent Cake Flavours:
These deluxe flavours are ONLY available in our "Decandent Cake" range. Check out our Cakes page for more info!

Important note: We do use lots of gluten, eggs, butter, milk and nuts in our kitchen at all times, and so there is always a reasonable risk that any of our products may contain traces of these allergens.

OUR SWEET PHILOSOPHY
Here at Sweet, we always make sure your cakes and cupcakes both taste amazing and look amazing - after all, it's what's on the inside that counts! We have a wide range of yummy flavours for you to choose from - whatever takes your fancy from good old vanilla, to fruity raspberry ripple, to a-little-bit-different Nutella or salted caramel.
We take pride in using top-notch, natural ingredients, sourced locally in New Zealand wherever possible (we love Whittaker's chocolate, Mainland butter and Chelsea sugar to name a few). We choose to flavour our products with real ingredients, rather than artificial essences. All Sweet products are lovingly hand-baked fresh to order each day, in small batches - never mass-produced or frozen.
Please note: While we always strive to use all-natural and local ingredients in our cakes, some ingredients aren't available locally, and some of the decorations we use contain artificial colourings and ingredients (e.g. sprinkles, fondant models, etc). We always use paste colourings to keep the amount of colour needed to a minimum. If you want to avoid food colour paste entirely, let us know and we can work around this.
