Do you make replica cakes? arrow_down

No, I don’t copy a complete replica of other designers’ creation. But I am happy to recreate and use it as inspiration. 

Will you draft sketch for me? arrow_down

Yes, on wedding cake order. I will draft a sketch which we can alter depending on your preference.

Can I order a cake flavour outside of the menu? arrow_down

Currently, I offer a curated menu where I've tested and perfected each flavour. However, I'm open to discussing custom flavours to make your cake truly special. Let's chat about your preferences and see how we can create a unique taste experience for you. 

Do you offer cake tastings?arrow_down

Yes! Cake tasting packs are typically offered once in 6 months, however this may change depending on my calendar. Dates will be posted where you can pre order and it will be discussed before booking the date. Charges are applied for taster box. 

What do you use to fill and cover cakes?arrow_down

PETI GATO cakes are typically filled and covered with Italian meringue buttercream. Ganache is also frequently used for the outer covering of the cake to accommodate certain designs or hot weather.

I mainly do fondant on wedding cake. 

Can my florist decorate the cake?arrow_down

Unfortunately, for both food safety and insurance reasons, I don't permit external decorators for PETI GATO cakes. Additionally, I avoid using fresh flowers due to pesticides; they shouldn't come in contact with the cake. Your understanding is appreciated. 

Considering a dummy cake for your dream creation? arrow_down

You can opt for ganache or fondant, and for added height, I recommend origami separators or spacers, not only are they on-trend, but they also provide a model-like look.  

As for cost-saving, while dummy cakes might seem like an option, they don't significantly reduce expenses due to the high price of dummy foam. Their lightweight nature can also pose challenges during decoration, often leading to added time and effort.
