Notes from the studio
a little more about our kids birthday cakes
Kids birthday cakes in Melbourne, made the Bakeology way
A child's birthday cake has one job: to make them gasp when it comes out. Every cake in the Junior Edit is designed around that moment. They are tall, bright, textured buttercream cakes with hand-made figurines, painted scenes and a name and age piped on, and every one of them is baked from scratch in our Burwood East studio in Melbourne's east.
Themes we make most often
- Dinosaurs: blue is our Jurassic cake with deep green scales and layered texture; levi is his calmer, sage-toned cousin. Our dinosaur cake guide has sizes and prices.
- Safari and farm: leon the lion with brushy taupe strokes, meadow with hand-piped farm animals, millie the cow-print cake with daisies.
- Storybook: peter the garden bunny, marlowe the hand-painted bus, winnie with soft, dreamy colours, xavier the powder-blue train.
- Sport and play: miles with hand-crafted balls and a bold number topper, hudson full of colour, finn in soft playful tones.
- Under the sea: mariana with pearls and sea treasures, iris with her sleepy lavender octopus.
If the theme you need is not here, it does not mean we cannot make it. Tell us the character, the colours and the age on the custom enquiry form and Sithumi will design it from scratch and quote it in writing.
Sizes and what they cost
Most kids parties land on our 6-inch, which serves 15–25 dessert slices (or 30–40 party slices) and starts from $220. A 5-inch serves 10–15 and starts from $165 for simpler designs. For a big family party, a 7-inch (25–35) starts from $260 and an 8-inch (45–55) from $350. Handmade figurines are $35 (small) or $40 (large), an acrylic name topper is $35, and a piped inscription is always free. See the full custom cake price guide.
Flavours kids actually eat
Classic vanilla with vanilla buttercream is the safe favourite; classic chocolate with chocolate ganache filling is the crowd-pleaser for the adults. Cookies and cream, Biscoff and fresh strawberry are the most requested premium fillings for children's parties. Everything is nut-free as a listed ingredient (see our FAQ on allergens) and there is no fondant on any of our kids cakes unless you ask for it, so they cut cleanly and taste like cake.
Ordering for a party in Melbourne's east
Order online with at least two days' notice (order by Thursday 10pm for a weekend party). Collect from our Burwood East studio any day between 7am and 10pm, or choose delivery: free within 10 km, which covers Burwood, Box Hill, Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, Blackburn, Forest Hill, Vermont, Nunawading, Wheelers Hill and Doncaster East, and quoted by distance beyond that. Every cake leaves boxed and chilled with our transport tips so it arrives at the party the way it left the studio. For the full list with prices, see kids birthday cakes Melbourne.

Can I change the colours or add my child's name?
Yes. Every design is a starting point. Pick a base colour and up to three accents in the configurator, or keep it exactly as pictured, and add a free piped inscription with the name and age.
How far ahead do I need to order a kids cake?
