Handcrafted with care
Bespoke Wedding Cakes in Auckland
At Ruby Cakes Boutique, every wedding cake I create is a one-of-a-kind piece — designed in close collaboration with each couple to reflect their story, palette, and vision. Drawing inspiration from Whangaparāoa's coastal beauty, I bring a natural, refined aesthetic to every design: soft textures, delicate botanicals, and an elegance that photographs beautifully from every angle.
Whether you picture a softly textured buttercream finish adorned with fresh florals, a sculptural tiered centrepiece, or something entirely your own, I work with you from first enquiry through to your wedding day to make it happen.
The Design Process
A bespoke wedding cake begins with a conversation. Once you submit an enquiry, I'll reach out to discuss your date, guest count, flavour preferences, and design vision. From there, I craft a proposal tailored specifically to you — no templates, no off-the-shelf designs.

Wedding Cake Prices in Auckland
Wedding cake pricing reflects the artistry, ingredients, and time that go into each bespoke creation. Rather than fixed menus, I provide a personalised quote based on your specific requirements.
Key factors that influence your wedding cake price include:
- Number of tiers — and whether each tier serves as a cutting cake or display tier
- Guest count & serving size — more guests means more cake, and cost scales accordingly
- Design complexity — hand-painted details, sculpted sugar flowers, and intricate textures require additional time
- Flavour selection — signature flavours vary slightly in ingredient cost
- Delivery & setup — distance and venue access may affect delivery fees
To receive an accurate quote for your wedding cake in Auckland, submit an enquiry with your date, approximate guest count, and any design inspiration you have in mind.

Flavours & Serving Size Guidance
A wedding cake should be as memorable on the palate as it is on display. My signature flavours are made from quality New Zealand ingredients — each one a little indulgence worth celebrating.

Serving Size Guide
As a general guide, a 6" round tier serves approximately 14–24 guests, an 8" round tier approximately 24-38 and a 9" tier around 30-48, depending on your cake slice sizes. For multi-tier wedding cakes, I will recommend the right configuration based on your guest count during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book my wedding cake?
As early as possible — ideally 5–6 months before your wedding date. Popular dates, especially in Summer and Spring, fill quickly. Enquiring early gives you the best chance of securing your preferred date and allows time for a thoughtful design process.
What factors affect the price of a wedding cake in Auckland?
The main considerations are the number of tiers, total servings required, the complexity of your design, and delivery location. Intricate hand-crafted details such as sugar florals or painted finishes naturally require more time and are reflected in the price. I provide a personalised quote once I understand your needs.
Do you deliver wedding cakes across Auckland?
Yes. I deliver to most areas of Greater Auckland, including the North Shore, CBD, West, East, and South Auckland, as well as the Hibiscus Coast. Collection from Whangaparāoa is also available. Delivery fees are based on distance and are confirmed at the time of your quote.
Can you match my wedding colour palette or design theme?
Absolutely. I work with you to align your cake design with your overall wedding aesthetic — whether that means matching specific colours, incorporating your floral arrangements, or reflecting a venue's style. Sharing mood boards, Pinterest links, or floristry inspiration helps me bring your vision to life.
What information should I include in my enquiry?
The more detail the better — but at a minimum, include your wedding date, approximate number of guests, any design ideas or references you love, preferred flavours, and your delivery suburb. I'll follow up with any further questions before preparing your personalised proposal.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Please include any dietary requirements in your enquiry and I'll advise on what can be accommodated. My cakes are made in a home kitchen and may contain or have come into contact with common allergens including gluten, dairy, eggs, and nuts.
