Darling, custom is my middle name. Birthdays, weddings, divorces — I don’t judge, I just bake. Fill out my enquiry form and let’s dream up something decadent.
Custom cakes start at $180, but it depends how fabulous you want to be. Intricate florals, gold leaf, vintage piping? That sweet drama costs extra — and it’s worth every bite. You’ll get a quote before I turn the oven on, promise.
At least 2–4 weeks for customs, more for weddings (think 3–6 months if you're tying the knot). I’m a one-woman sugar show and dates fill fast, so don’t ghost me and expect cake.
I bake from a registered kitchen in Ballarat, Victoria. Pickups are by appointment only — I’m not a storefront, so please don’t rock up unannounced (unless you’ve got coffee and gossip).
Yes! I hand-deliver locally, especially for wedding cakes (because your cousin definitely doesn’t want that job). Delivery fees vary based on distance and level of stress required.
Yes, my wedding tasting boxes are pure joy in a box — available a few times a year and they sell out quickly. You’ll want to follow me on socials or risk missing out and sobbing into a Woolies mudcake.
I do offer some gluten-friendly and dairy-free options, but my kitchen is full of all the usual suspects (gluten, dairy, nuts, sass). If you have severe allergies, I may not be your girl — I like to sleep at night.
Yes, I love a good mood board. Send me your vintage dreams or Pinterest obsessions — just know I don’t do carbon copies. I’ll take your inspo and make it unapologetically Bitter Tart.
Yes — a 50% non-refundable deposit locks in your date and stops me from saying yes to someone else’s carrot cake fantasy. The rest is due the week of your event. No deposit = no cake. I’m firm but fair.
Absolutely. I hit a few local markets with slices, cakes, and sweet vintage vibes. Follow along on Instagram and get in early, I sell out faster than a 90s boy band comeback tour.
I do — and your café deserves better than frozen cake from a box. If you want nostalgic sweets with a handmade twist, please send me a direct email laura@thebittertart.com.au to discuss serious cake goals for your cafe.
