Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

My creation studio is located in Sydney city centre.

Do you have a shop for me to visit?

I do not have a store front. However, I am available for consultations at my studio by appointment only.

Do you deliver or allow for pick up?

Yes to both. Pick ups don't cost any extra but delivery costs are based on location. Contact me for a quick quote. Please note that certain cakes, like those requiring on site assembly, can not be picked up and must be delivered.

What factors influence the cost of the cake?

The final price of the cake is determined by the amount of detail, number of hours that will go into creating the cake and the shape of the cake.

Why do I need to give you my budget?

If you are upfront about your budget, I'll be able to design something that will achieve what you want (visually) and also suits your budget. There is no point of me designing something you really like only to realise that is over your budget.

If you don't have a budget, or are unsure, that's fine too. I'm happy to design a range of creations with different budgets for you to choose from.

Do you offer cake tastings?

Currently cake tastings are free for wedding cake orders or for orders over $250. Please book in a time with me if you'd like one. You'll get to taste both base flavours – Vanilla Bean and Chocolate Mud.

For all other orders a cake tastings are available on request and I will try my best to accommodate but can't guarantee availability.

How much notice do you need?

Ideally 2 to 3 weeks is needed (I would recommend approx 2 months notice for wedding cakes), especially if I am designing something exclusive for you. Sketching and revising design concepts can take up to a week or two.

I'm happy to try and accommodate last minute orders, but please book your date early to avoid disappointment.

Do you have other designs?

I am here to design a custom cake/cupcakes for you. So please don't feel like you are limited by what you see on my website. I love dreaming of new designs and would love to create something exclusive for you.

How does the whole creation process work?

If you already have a design in mind, I'm happy to quote on that. If you want something designed exclusively, I'll usually work out all the details of the occasion/event and then offer some design ideas and rough pricing.

Once you decide you like the sound of those ideas, I prepare some sketches and final pricing for you. If required, we can arrange a consultation where we brainstorm any additional ideas and finalise details.

Are all the figurines on your cakes/cupcakes hand made?

All the figurines, flowers and details you see on my creations are all hand made by me except stated otherwise (occasionally, my clients do provide their own cake toppers).

I'm not sure what I want, should I get a cake or cupcakes or both?

I know it's hard to choose when the possibilities are endless so let me help you work it out! Give me your budget and let me know you would like to consider both cakes and cupcakes. I will then present you with a few different combination and cost options.

Do you provide cupcake stands?

With cupcake stands you can either purchase them from me or rent them. To buy, they start from $55 as they are customised to suit your theme/event.

To rent, it will cost $30 as it will also be customised to suit your theme/event. A $50 deposit is also required (which will be returned to you after you return the stand).

How big are your serving portions?

My cakes are generally made with coffee portions in mind and each serving is generally 2.5 x 2.5 x 8 cm high.

What makes a Sharon Wee creation so special?

I put a lot of care and detail into each of my creation and treat each order as if I was baking and decorating it for my loved ones. I use only quality ingredients and each design is made with great passion for what I love to do.

I will work with you to ensure you get the result you are after and will do my best to add value in any way I can. Whether it'd be through design consultations, custom flavourings or exclusive designs you'll be guaranteed to have something that is truly stands out and is unique.

How do I store my creation?

Do not put your creation in the fridge. Creations should be kept in a cool area away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Can I keep the sugar decorations?

Yes, again, just keep it in a cool dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

How is my creation packaged?

Because of the size of my creations, most of them do not come in a box. They are presented on a cake board and will be wrapped with plastic for protection.
