Common questions
How much does a wedding cake cost in Hawke's Bay?
Depends on size, design & flavours, a simple two-tier starts in the low hundreds & climbs from there. Most makers offer tastings & quote to your guest count.
When should I order my wedding cake?
Around 6 to 9 months out for popular makers, especially over summer, leaving time for a tasting.
Can I get dietary options?
Yes, several Hawke's Bay makers offer vegan, gluten-free & dairy-free options. Flag your requirements early.
How big a cake do I need?
It depends on guest count & whether it's dessert. Your maker will help you size it, & a smaller display cake plus a hidden 'kitchen cake' to serve saves money.
