FAQ's!

1. What flavours do you offer?
Just Cupcakes! flavour options are based on excellence in both flavour and texture, as we expect our cakes to taste as beautiful as they look. Our current flavour range includes: Chocolate Fudge, Vanilla Bean, Lemon Delicious, Mango Royale, White Chocolate and Raspberry, Dark Chocolate Almond, Caramel Mud, Classic Carrot, and White, Milk or Dark Chocolate Cakes.

2. I am not sure what design to choose!
At Just Cupcakes!, we believe that every cupcake that comes from our kitchen should match perfectly to the event that it is celebrating, and therefore, we spend as much time as necessary with you, well in advance of your event, to make sure that the finished design is as unique and original as you are. We also bring a design album of previous works for your inspiration, which you are also welcome to choose from.

Helpful things to consider when planning your cupcake design are:
* The theme of the day, for example, casual and laid back, or formal and elegant?
* The colours of the invitations, flowers and outfits chosen
* Any favourite design motifs that have already been selected for your event, such as butterflies, stars or the like.

We understand that the wedding cake is the focal point of the evening, and work closely with you to ensure that your ideas are brought to life.

3. How much can I expect to pay?
Our cupcakes vary considerably in price, however, as a guide, our cupcakes range from $4.50 to $10.00 each. The two influences on the price of your cupcake are design choice and quality.

It is difficult to provide an accurate price indication over the telephone, which is why we offer no obligation, free in-home consultations, where we also provide tasting samples for you to work from.

4. Does Just Cupcakes! deliver and set-up?
As we consider our cupcakes to be edible works of art, we do deliver and set-up your order as a standard service. The fee for this is based upon the location of your event.

5. Can you supply gluten-free cupcakes?
Although we attempt to accommodate all flavour choices, at this time we are not able to offer this option, as our recipes are only based upon wheat-based flours, and therefore cannot provide any guarantees of a quality cake result.

However, we are happy to decorate cakes that you provide, or recommend you to specialist suppliers.

6. When should I book my event?
For weddings and engagements, we prefer at least 2 months notice.

For birthdays and other occasions, we prefer a minimum of 2 weeks, but preferably 4 weeks notice.

During some periods of the year (Feb - April, and Sept - Nov), we book up very quickly, so if your event date is withing these periods, the sooner you book your date, the more likely it is that we can accommodate your order.

Often we can accommodate last minute requests, but acceptance of these is entirely dependant upon availability, and we do not recommend at all that you chance a last minute booking, and be disappointed.

7. I'll need a cutting cake as well, can Just Cupcakes! do those too?
Yes, certainly! We offer a cutting cake service in sizes up to 6" diameter, in round, square and heart shapes.

Cutting cakes are approximately 4" in height, and are baked in either the same flavour as your cupcakes, or a complimentary flavour.

It is quite popular for cutting cakes to be served to the bridal party, or the parents of the bride and groom, as a ceremonial part of the cake cutting.

All cutting cakes are decorated to match our cupcakes.


Yes, Just Cupcakes! can also supply your event with a suitable cake stand for your cupcakes.

These cupcakes (and cookies) were made for the 55-56-57 Chev Club of Victoria annual Summer BBQ.



These are Vanilla Bean cupcakes, with rolled fondant over buttercream. The fondant is then lustered with blue edible lustre dust, and over-piped with royal icing, which was then painted with edible silver.
