Character cake FAQ
Common questions, answered.
What characters can you make a cake of?
Most popular characters work well: Minnie and Mickey Mouse, Barbie, Frozen, Cocomelon, Paw Patrol, Spider-Man, Sonic, dinosaurs, princess and superhero themes. Sports team cakes (Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Dynamos, Highlanders) are popular too. If your child has a specific character in mind, send a reference and we will tell you whether we can match it.
How are the characters put on the cake?
Most character cakes use edible-print toppers: high-resolution images printed in edible ink on fondant or wafer paper, then placed on the buttercream or fondant cake. We can also hand-paint characters in food-safe colour for a more bespoke look, with extra notice.
Can you write a name on the cake?
Yes. Most character cakes carry the child's name as part of the design, either piped, printed on a fondant plaque, or as a wooden topper. Send the exact spelling when you order so we can proof it back to you before printing.
How much notice do you need?
Three to five days for most character cakes, depending on whether the design needs printed or sculpted toppers. For weekend parties, message us by Tuesday to be safe. Last-minute requests sometimes work, ask and we will be honest.
How much does a character cake cost?
From $35 for a single-tier 6-inch character cake with one printed topper. Larger sizes, additional toppers, sculpted features, and themed decoration add to the price. Full pricing →
What flavours do character cakes come in?
Vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, marble, and cookies & cream are the most popular for character cakes because they suit a child-friendly palate. Filling and frosting can be matched to the theme colours.
Can you deliver to a venue or home?
Yes. We deliver across Harare with a flat fee by zone. For party venues we can time the delivery to your start window so the cake is set up just before guests arrive. See delivery zones →
