If you’re anything like us, selecting your wedding cake or sweet tooth alternative has to be one of the most ‘appetising’ parts of wedding planning. Whether you’re into the traditional cutting of the cake or more of a roaming dessert-style as you mingle on over to the dance-floor… We’re presenting you with Byron’s top wedding cake and dessert connoisseurs to consider for your wedding!
What sort of cakes or sweets do you offer?
Wheel and Spoon
Wheel and Spoon offer real-deal gelato served from a three-wheeled bicycle. The gelato master, Davide, studied at Gelati University in Bologna, Italy. Ah yep, you heard right… Gelati University. Sign me up! His traditional and authentic gelato-making methods ensure you and your guests experience a true taste of Italy, using the highest quality ingredients and lots of amoré (love, devotion and zest).
Rebellyous Cake Co
I offer yummy decadent mud cake is my specialty, it stays fresher for longer and so is perfect for the decorating process. It is also my preference for naked/semi-naked cakes as it will not dry out even after sitting out on display for hours at your reception.
Flossy Byron Bay
Flossy is fairy floss reimagined for the adult palate. Flossy hand-spins floss in front of you and your guests served during your day and in wedding favour bags for guests to take home. Turn the Flossycart into a mobile bar by welcoming your guests with floss topping glasses of bubbles or cocktails. It’s a fun nostalgic experience perfect for guests over cocktail hour.
Marina Machado Cakes
I offer fondant and buttercream cakes from single to multiple tiers (each tier may contain different flavours and fillings). I enjoy pushing the boundaries and are delighted to work with couples to design the cake of their dreams; something wonderful to ‘wow’ guests and delight their senses.
I offer dessert tables of delectable petit fours made from scratch with the finest ingredients. Some choices include mandarin and apricot amaretti, honey crème brûlée tart, pistachio financier with boysenberry sauce, piña colada mousse and, of course, macarons!

The gelato supplier “In The Pink” has been making gelati for more than 30 years in Byron Bay using the best local and Italian ingredients to produce what ABC’s Delicious magazine describes as “one of the 10 best gelaterias in Australia”. Baylato also offer profiteroles, ice cream tacos and coffee.

What flavours do you have available? How many different flavours can be chosen?
Wheel and Spoon
Maybe it’s our decadent salted caramel with layers of Nutella or our vibrant, Fuschia pink dragon fruit sorbet, with over 60 flavours to choose from. We are confident you’ll find what you’re after. Depending on the size of your wedding, I offer an option to have 2 – 4 different flavours.
Rebellyous Cake Co
At Rebellyous Cake Co there are so many flavour possibilities, everything from chocolate and vanilla through to a spiced caramel (Persian Love Mud). My signature flavour is a Coconut Lime Mud and it’s the most requested flavour however, the Persian Love is popular, especially amongst more adventurous tastes. You may choose a different flavour for every tier of your cake if you so wish. A double-height tier can often be made up of two separate flavours.
Flossy Byron Bay
For something really special, Flossy Byron Bay can collaborate with you to create a delicious signature flavour for your event. Otherwise, choose from our extensive menu. Here is a small sample menu:
- Sample menu – flavours inspired by all things seasonal, natural, and a bit out of the ordinary
- Creme Brulee
- Salted Caramel
- Davidson Plum
- Lemon
- Lychee Raspberry
Marina Machado Cakes
I typically have a flavour chosen for the baked cake and one or more for the buttercream and filling, so each tier can be a combo of flavours then you can choose different combo for each tier!
Flavours tend to seasonally change and I am happy to bake new flavours if the couple wishes. Popular offerings include Vanilla Butter Cake with Wild Orange and White Chocolate Buttercream, White Chocolate and Raspberry Mudcake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream and Raspberry Jam, Earl Grey Buttercake with Vanilla Bean and Lavender Buttercream, Coconut Cake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream and Lemon Curd.
You can choose 2 flavours with 1 and 2-hour packages or choose 3 flavours with a 3-hour package. To create a 100% bespoke experience, we can create a customised package with all your heart’s desires.

Byron Bay Cake Boutique
A range of flavours is available to tempt you and your guests. I have ensured there is a diverse selection so that you will be able to find something perfect. If you are having a tiered cake, you can select more than one flavour which makes the decision process a little easier.
Some couples like to choose the crowd-pleasers; Vanilla Buttermilk and Chocolate Fudge, however, some love a rich, decadent cake-like mud cake (chocolate, white chocolate or caramel). I have also included some less common but delicious flavours for those who would like something a little different for their big day. These include Spiced Banana, Classic Carrot, Sticky Date, Coconut Citrus and Red Velvet.

Do you offer tastings?
Wheel and Spoon
I offer tastings on the Gold Coast. I can also arrange to meet with you personally and help in your somewhat difficult choice to narrow down these flavours to just a few!
Rebellyous Cake Co
I don’t offer formal tastings, however, a complimentary tasting box is available (for collection in Mullumbimby) for all wedding cake orders that have been confirmed with a deposit. A fee applies to those ordering a tasting box without having paid a deposit. Tasting boxes may also be couriered in some circumstances.
Flossy Byron Bay
We don’t offer tastings, but we do promise you will love our fairy floss.
Marina Machado Cakes
Yes, tastings are complimentary with Marina Machado Cakes at my beautiful garden house at Tamborine Mountain. You can taste a variety of flavours including gluten-free and vegan options on request. I will also consult on cake design including a tour of my cake studio containing a range of display cakes. Tasting boxes are provided for those that don’t have the time to sit and enjoy the experience.
Let Them Eat Cake
Yes, I most definitely offer cake tastings for our couples.
Byron Bay Cake Boutique
Yes! This is one of the more pleasurable experiences of the wedding planning process and not to be missed. If you are having trouble deciding on flavours this is a very tasty way to make up your mind.
My sampler packages consist of 5 mini layer cakes and they come beautifully presented in our own original design. Many clients enjoy this as a special morning or afternoon tea with their loved one. They are available for collection to enjoy in your own personal setting upon request.
Baylato
YES! Baylato has a shop at Eat Street Northshore (Brisbane) and another at The Farm (Byron Bay). Couples can choose their favourite flavours from Baylato’s website and they are welcome to come to one of their shops for tasting. They can also make custom flavours if the couple has a favourite.
Just Add Flower
Yes upon request I offer tasting boxes.
Eclair at the Bay
If you find yourself in Byron Bay, we welcome you to visit our shop and try our daily selection. Alternatively, you can also order a smaller version of our Croquembouche.
Do you have vegan and gluten-free options?
Wheel and Spoon
The majority of our gelato flavours are gluten-free apart from the obvious Chocolate Brownie, Cookies & Cream, etc. All sorbets are dairy-free and vegan-friendly, including the creamy option like our Dark Chocolate and Coconut.
Rebellyous Cake Co
All mud cake flavours are available as gluten-free, however, whilst we do offer gluten-free cakes, my cakes are not produced in a nut, gluten or another allergen-free kitchen. It is, for this reason, I do not recommend my products to those with severe food intolerances/ allergies (such as coeliacs). At this stage, we do not have any vegan options.
Flossy Byron Bay
Our entire menu is vegan and gluten-free.
Marina Machado Cakes
Yes. Gluten-free, nut-free, raw and vegan options are available.
Let Them Eat Cake
All cakes at Let Them Eat Cake are available as gluten-free, some are dairy-free – best to ask. The following are available as vegan: Passionfruit & Vanilla, Chai Spice, Chocolate Fudge & Berry Vanilla.
Byron Bay Cake Boutique
Gluten-free and vegan cakes are available upon request at Byron Bay Cake Boutique. Please mention this in your initial enquiry and I will forward the menu options. I am constantly working towards expanding the gluten-free and vegan ranges. The macarons are all gluten-free.
Please note, all of the kitchen equipment is used to make all cakes. If you have a severe allergy or concerns about the same equipment being used it is recommended you source a specialist in either gluten-free or vegan products.
Baylato
Baylato has plenty of vegan, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free options for any special needs.
Just Add Flower
Yes, and most of my cake flavours can be made gluten-free.
Eclair at the Bay
While we do provide Gluten-Free options for some of our cakes (excluding Croquembouche and products made from choux pastry), we regret to inform you that we currently do not offer vegan options.
Can you create different sized cakes based on guest numbers so there’s enough for everyone and not too much waste?
Rebellyous Cake Co
Whilst it is not always possible to achieve the exact number of serves required, with different tier sizes to choose from you can get very close. Who doesn’t love leftover cake? I always bake fresh so there is also the option of freezing for later indulgence.
Flossy Byron Bay
Our packages include unlimited hand-spun floss on sticks during your event so there will always be plenty for everyone and, as we spin the floss on demand, there is no waste at all. We’re really proud to have a strong environmental commitment to minimising waste across all areas of our business.
Marina Machado Cakes
Yes. So, whether the cake will be the only dessert to be served on your wedding will determine the size of the portions – dessert and coffee portions. The portion type in combination with the guest count will guide the size of the cake. Next step will be to find the best size – in terms of tiers, for the desired cake design.
Let Them Eat Cake
All cakes are individually tailored to your guest numbers whether they are dessert or coffee/canapé size so there’s no wastage and always enough to go round!
Byron Bay Cake Boutique
Yes, certainly. Each cake made is individually quoted because each and every cake is bespoke and made to your requirements. When you make contact with me about your cake, please include the number of servings that you require so that we can match this with the size of your cake tiers. I can then send you a quote based on your unique specifications.
Just Add Flower
Yes, I work with couples to make sure the cake is the perfect size for the number of guests they have attending. Dessert or coffee portions are considered to determine and size of the cake.
Eclair at the Bay
Absolutely! We offer three standard sizes of Croquembouche, ranging from 15 to 30 and 60 choux. Based on your guest count, we can customize them and add more choux, ensuring that there’s enough for everyone without any unnecessary waste. Additionally, our individual cakes and dessert items provide an excellent alternative to a traditional large cake, allowing for a personalized and varied dessert experience.
Do you offer individual cakes/dessert items instead of one large traditional cake?
Rebellyous Cake Co
I offer baked doughnuts which shouldn’t be confused with the traditional fried kind. They are, after all, a cake baked in a doughnut shape – they still taste great! Not one for the traditional? Then a brownie stack might be more your style. These look amazing decorated with flowers and are definitely on the menu along with jars of salted caramel and individually wrapped biscuits for bonbonnieres.
Flossy Byron Bay
Every serve of hand-spun Flossy is individual, either on a stick or packed in a sealed bag as a wedding favour for guests.
Marina Machado Cakes
Yes. Some wedding couples prefer to serve individual mini cakes instead of a single portioned large cake. Also, I love to design dessert tables! It seems to be on very popular demand as guests can delight their palettes with an extensive variety of flavours provided.
Let Them Eat Cake
Yes, I offer cupcakes, brownies, doughnuts and slices.
Byron Bay Cake Boutique
The individual dessert alternatives that I offer are macarons and cupcakes. They can be presented as a tower or part of a dessert table display. If you would like to hire a macaron or cupcake tower please let me know so that I can reserve one for your wedding date. Custom made cookies and macarons make great wedding favours for your guests and can be individually packaged depending on your requirements.
Just Add Flower
Yes, I offer custom stamped cookies, cupcakes and brownies to either accompany a cake or to be ordered separately.
Eclair at the Bay
Yes, we do! We have a delicious selection of individual-sized treats available, including mini-eclairs, individual tarts, craquelins, profiteroles… These individual options offer versatility and allow guests to indulge in a variety of flavors and textures.
