Absolutely. Every cake is custom designed to reflect your celebration, whether you have a clear vision or would like me to guide the design process. Together, we’ll create something that feels personal, beautiful and uniquely yours.

I’m always happy to use inspiration photos as a starting point. While I don’t create exact replicas of another artist’s work, I’ll design a cake inspired by the elements you love while making it uniquely yours.

Yes. I work with both buttercream and fondant, depending on the design, finish and structural requirements of your cake.

I offer a curated Signature Flavour Collection featuring cakes I’ve carefully developed using seasonal ingredients and thoughtfully balanced flavours. You’re welcome to explore the menu before enquiring. If you have something specific in mind, I’m always happy to discuss custom flavour combinations where possible.

Serving sizes vary depending on the size of the cake and how it will be served. If you’re unsure what size you need, I’ll happily recommend the perfect cake based on your guest list and your event.

Yes! I release a limited number of tasting boxes approximately once every quarter, giving you the opportunity to sample my Signature Flavour Collection before placing your order.

Tasting boxes are perfect for couples planning their wedding cake or for anyone who’d simply like to experience the flavours before choosing their celebration cake. Release dates and ordering information will be announced on Instagram and here on the website.

While I take great care when preparing every order, Bake + Sway is not an allergen-free kitchen. As ingredients such as gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts are used throughout my kitchen, I cannot guarantee that any product will be free from cross-contamination. If you have an allergy, please get in touch before placing your order so we can discuss your requirements.

Yes. Delivery is available throughout the Sydney metropolitan area. Delivery fees vary depending on your location and will be included in your personalised quote.

Each cake is individually quoted based on its size, flavour, design complexity and decorative details. Once I understand your vision, I’ll provide a personalised quote tailored to your celebration.

Yes. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking.

The remaining balance is due seven days before your event. Orders placed within two weeks of the event require full payment at the time of booking.

Minor changes may be possible depending on how far in advance you contact me. Once work has commenced, changes may no longer be possible. Please get in touch as soon as possible if you need to update your order.

As each cake is custom-made and your date is reserved exclusively for you, deposits are non-refundable. If you need to cancel your order, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss your options.

Your cake should be stored in the refrigerator until needed. For the best flavour and texture, allow it to come to room temperature for approximately 1–2 hours before serving, depending on the weather. Storage instructions specific to your cake will be provided upon collection or delivery.

Bake + Sway was created from a love of bringing people together through beautiful, delicious bakes. Every cake is handcrafted from scratch using quality ingredients and thoughtfully developed flavours, with just as much care given to how it tastes as how it looks. From your first enquiry to the moment your cake is served, my goal is to make the entire experience feel personal, joyful and effortless.
