Custom Shape Cakes

 

All you wanted to know about ordering custom cakes (Theme cakes/Party cakes/Shape cakes/Designer cakes/Fondant cakes).

 

So you are planning a party and want a cake that wows your guests. Or maybe you are planning to send a theme cake to your friend as a surprise gift. We understand that you may have a lot of questions in your mind before you are ready to place an order. Here is a list of commonly asked questions about custom cakes for you to read through.

 

Do you do custom cakes?

Yes we do, in fact custom cakes are WarmOven’s specialty. Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, weddings, graduation, baby shower, whatever the occasion or celebration, if you desire a customized or themed cake then WarmOven is at your service.

 

How are the customized cakes made?

Your choice of cake is first layered with buttercream or freshly whipped cream on the inside and then covered and designed with fondant, buttercream or fresh whipped cream or chocolate ganache externally (depending on the flavor you choose). The toppers/designs on the covered cakes are made with fondant.

 

What is fondant?

Fondant icing, also commonly referred to simply as fondant, is an edible icing used to decorate or sculpt cakes and pastries. It is dough made out of sugar that is rolled out into sheets to cover the cakes or molded to create figures and other cake toppers. Please note that fondant is 100% edible, however it has sugary dough like taste. If you do not like this taste, you can peel it off after cutting the cake and before distributing to your guests.

 

Are the numbers, figures and flowers on the cake edible?

Yes. Everything on the cake is edible. However, for certain themed cakes, we use readymade non-edible toppers, this will be discussed with you when placing the order. Also, if there are huge toppers on your cake, look below to ensure that there are no wooden dowels (thin cylindrical wooden rods like toothpicks) for supporting the toppers.

 

What colouring do you use?

We use FSSAI certified Food Grade colors of the best quality for the fondant. If you wish, you can request vegan organic colors and fondant, however this will be charged extra per kg. Also note that organic and vegan fondant does not always provide the best finish and look.

 

Can you match the colours of my requirement?

We try our best to match the colours as per your request but please bear in mind that due to food colouring constraints we may not be able to match all colours and cannot assure an exact imitation.

 

How do I order a custom cake?

We have a limited selection of theme cakes shown on our website. If you like one of those, you can directly place an order on our site. You will be provided an opportunity to customize the message during the ordering process. However if you have a theme in mind, and you do not see a similar cake on our website, you can search on google for an image of a cake that you like. Download the image (has to be at least post card size) and send it to us along with your preference of flavor and weight required. We will revert confirming if it can be made, minimum weight constraints and our quote. You can reach us in any way that is convenient to you
