Celebration Cakes & Desserts — Sydney

Cakes and sweet things, made properly.

Birthday cakes, cupcakes, sweet platters and custom tiered cakes, made from scratch in our Castle Hill kitchen. Delivery across Sydney.

The sweet stuff

A celebration deserves something made with care, not pulled from a shelf.

We bake our celebration cakes, cupcakes and sweet treats in our commercial kitchen in Castle Hill. What you get is real: proper buttercream, real fruit, good-quality chocolate. Not a factory finish.

We make cakes for birthdays, baby showers, corporate events, family gatherings and everything in between. If you're organising a function that also needs catering, we can handle both in a single booking. And if you just need a cake, chat to us about what you need.

Gluten-free options are available across most of our range. Let us know your requirements when you enquire and we'll confirm what's possible.

Desserts

From $82.80 — serves 12–16

Classic desserts made properly. For example our rich tiramisu, or our delicious baked cheesecakes. Both suit any event where you want a dessert course without the fuss of plating on the day. Ask us about desserts to complement your menu.

Individual cakes

Persian Orange Cake & Chocolate Fig and Hazelnut Cake

Individual-sized cakes at $9.80 each. The Persian orange is gluten-free and a consistent favourite. The chocolate fig and hazelnut is rich and works well as a plated dessert at seated events.

Both are available in quantity for events. Mention them when you enquire if you'd like to include them in your order.

Custom celebration cake by Dinner on the Table
Bespoke cakes

Custom and tiered cakes for milestones that matter.

For weddings, significant birthdays, baby showers and any occasion where a standard cake won't cut it, we make custom and tiered cakes to order. Tell us your flavours, design ideas and guest count and we'll work with you on the brief.

Custom cakes take more lead time. We recommend coming to us at least three to four weeks ahead so we have time to plan, source and bake properly.

Custom cakes from approximately $355

Pricing is typically calculated at around $4.5 per portion depending on design complexity, number of tiers and flavour selection. Every custom cake is quoted individually.

For platters, morning tea and everything in between

Individual sweet items and small-serve options for events, corporate morning teas, grazing additions and gift boxes. All made in our Castle Hill kitchen.

Cupcakes

From $45 per dozen

Frosted and decorated to match your occasion. Vanilla, chocolate and rotating seasonal flavours. Minimum order one dozen. Gluten-free options available on request.

Bakery Box

Available by box

A mixed selection of our freshly baked sweet treats. Good for morning tea drops, end-of-year office events or anything where variety matters more than uniformity.

Sweet Finger Food

Per person pricing on enquiry

Mini tarts, petit fours and bite-sized sweets for cocktail-style events or as a dessert course alongside canapés. Works well paired with our grazing and canapé packages.

Slices

From $3.50 per piece

Caramel slice, lemon slice, rocky road and seasonally rotating options. Cut and ready to serve. A practical choice for large morning teas or self-serve table settings.

Scones with Jam & Cream

Per dozen pricing on enquiry

Freshly baked scones served with jam and whipped cream. A reliable choice for school fetes, high teas and daytime corporate events. Crowd-pleasing and easy to serve.

No-Added-Gluten Treats

Pricing on enquiry

A dedicated range of sweet treats for guests who can't eat gluten. Includes the Persian orange cake, almond-based biscuits and rotating baked options. Not produced in a certified gluten-free kitchen; ask us about our protocols if you have a severe allergy.

For bigger events

We can set up a full dessert table.

For private functions, corporate events or weddings where you want a proper sweet station, we can style and supply a complete dessert table: cakes, sweets, platters and servingware, arranged at your venue. Get in touch to talk through what you have in mind.

The process

How to order

1

Send us the details

Use the enquiry form below. Tell us what you're after, how many people you're feeding, your event date and any dietary needs. The more you tell us, the faster we can quote.

2

We come back with a quote

We'll respond with pricing, flavour options and lead time. For custom cakes we may ask a few follow-up questions before quoting. For standard orders we're usually quick.

3

Confirm and we'll bake

Once you confirm the order we'll lock in your date, bake fresh and deliver to your address or venue. For large orders we recommend booking at least two weeks ahead.

Dietary requirements

We make a range of gluten-free and dairy-free options. Our no-added-gluten treats are a genuine option for most guests with gluten sensitivity. We are not a certified allergen-free kitchen, so if you're managing a severe allergy please mention it when you enquire and we'll give you an honest answer about what's safe. We will always tell you what's in our food.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

For standard cakes, cupcakes and sweet platters, a week or twos notice is usually enough. For custom and tiered cakes, three to four weeks gives us the time to plan and execute the design properly. If your event is sooner than that, get in touch anyway. Depending on our schedule we will do what we can to help you.

We deliver across Sydney, with a strong focus on the Hills District, North Shore and Parramatta region. Delivery is available to private addresses, offices and venues. If you're outside these areas, mention your location when you enquire and we'll let you know what's possible. Collection from our Castle Hill kitchen is also be available by arrangement.

Yes. Our Persian orange cake is naturally gluten-free and one of our most popular items. We also bake other no-added-gluten cakes and treats depending on the season. Our kitchen is not certified allergen-free, so if you're managing coeliac disease or a severe allergy please ask us directly. We'll give you an honest answer about our processes and what's safe for your guests.

Yes, and this is often the most convenient option for events. We can include cakes, cupcakes or a full dessert table as part of a combined catering booking. Everything arrives together and there's one point of contact for the whole event. If you're also looking at our private function catering or our grazing and canapé packages, mention it when you enquire and we'll quote for the full scope.

Our flavour range rotates with the season. Core options include vanilla, chocolate and red velvet. Specialty flavours like Persian orange, chocolate fig and hazelnut, and fruit-based cakes are available depending on the time of year and the order. Tell us your preferences when you enquire and we'll confirm what's available for your date.

For custom and tiered cakes, yes. We work with you on decoration style, colour palette and finish. Edible photo prints are available for some designs. The more detail you share when you enquire, including any reference images, the better we can brief the cake. For standard birthday cakes, personalised lettering is included if you'd like it.

Yes. Our custom tiered cakes are well-suited to weddings. We can also handle the full reception catering if that's useful. Weddings need more lead time than most orders, so the earlier you get in touch the better. We'd recommend coming to us at least six weeks out for a custom wedding cake with a full design brief.

About Dinner on the Table

We've been cooking for people since 2014.

We're a social enterprise based in Castle Hill. Almost everything that comes out of our kitchen is made from scratch by our team of chefs using real ingredients. The cakes and sweet things are no exception. What we don't bake ourselves, we source from suppliers we trust and would be happy to put our name on.

Every order supports a program that gifts meals each month to families living with disability. You can read more about our impact here.

If you're planning an event that also needs savoury catering, visit our private function page or see all our catering services.
