Questions we are asked often

How much notice do you need?

Two days for a single tier cake and three for anything with tiers. Cupcakes and brownies, two days.

In Ramadan and for the fortnight after Eid, make that a week for everything and three weeks for gift boxes. Those are the busiest weeks of our year and they are also the weeks people leave it latest.

How do you price a cake?

By how many people it feeds and how it is finished, in that order. A seven inch round feeding ten starts at 450 rufiyaa, a nine inch feeding twenty at 700, a full sheet feeding fifty at 1,450, and tiered cakes from 3,500.

Flavour does not change the price. Finish does, because fondant and piped work are hours rather than ingredients.

Can you copy a cake from a photograph?

Usually, and we will tell you which parts of it will not work here. Most cake photographs on the internet were taken in a cold country, and a tall stack of piped buttercream is one of the things that simply does not hold at thirty degrees.

Send the photograph anyway. We will say what we can match exactly, what we would change and what it costs either way.

Is everything halal, and is there alcohol in anything?

Everything is halal and there is no alcohol in any recipe, including the extracts. Ordinary vanilla essence is alcohol based, so we buy the alcohol free one, which costs about four times as much and is worth it for the answer to this question.

The gelatine is beef gelatine and you are welcome to see the packet.

Do you deliver, and what does it cost?

We deliver ourselves in an air conditioned car. Malé is 100 rufiyaa, Hulhumalé is 200 with a slot agreed the day before, and Villingili is 250 including the ferry.

No deliveries on Friday mornings and none after nine at night. Tiered cakes are always delivered by us rather than collected, and they are built at the venue.

Can I collect it myself?

Yes, from the flat in Henveiru, and it is the cheapest option. Come in a car with an empty flat boot. We will carry the cake down and put it in for you.

We will not hand a tiered cake or a sheet cake to somebody on a cycle or a motorbike. That is not a rule about trust, it is a rule about what happens at the first speed bump.
