It’s the moment of truth. You’ve found the perfect dress. Now it’s time to choose your cake! Choosing a wedding cake can be overwhelming as there are so many styles and flavours to choose from.

Pastel and Bloom – Wedding Cake Ideas & Shop Melbourne
(03) 8406 7654
Hi, I’m Vanessa.
Welcome to Pastel and Bloom!
I started my cake journey in 2009 – by accident, really!
My sister-in-law had given birth to her first beautiful cherub, Ava, and her birthday was soon approaching. I had no idea what to get her. I soon came across a cake decorating class in our area and thought – what a lovely idea… To get a new Mummy out of the house once a week for just a few hours.
I fell completely in love!
I soon became completely enthralled in the world of cake, enrolling in decorating classes around Melbourne.
My obsession with flowers started well before that, though… I had to have fresh flowers in the house at all times, marvelling at their ability to brighten up any room and my mood!
So once I had really begun to sink my teeth into cakes, I decided to enrol into floristry school. Bringing those two passions together created what Pastel and Bloom are today.
Today…
Pastel and Bloom embody all that I love in cake and floral form. And with this ever-growing industry, I strive to create new and exciting designs that are not only amazing on the outside but taste amazing too!
Every cake creation and floral arrangement is customised specifically to each client and their event. I love how each creation can be a reflection of the celebration and as unique as the client it was made for.
Jump on my contact page and send me all the info for your special event, and I’ll send through a quick quote!

FAQs About Wedding Cakes
Who Should Cut and Serve the Wedding Cake?
Your Catering Team Will Have a Cake-Cutting Strategy.
Remember when you were ordering your wedding cake, and the baker asked how many guests you’d like it to serve? She would’ve then made the cake very specifically to suit the number of servings.
Your catering team will have all the information they need on serving quantities, and they have plenty of experience in how best to cut a cake to get all the necessary servings out of it. However, if you went willy-nilly and cut it yourself, without regard to serving size, you could end up with far fewer slices than you need to serve all your guests.
Cutting a Wedding Cake Is Very Time Consuming and Can Be Quite Messy.
Though the first slice is cut with everyone watching, caterers will usually take the rest of the cake to a private area to finish cutting it. This is because cutting a wedding cake can be messy, especially when there are many layers to take apart. It’s also very time-consuming. Most caterers begin serving cake to guests long before the cutting has been completed.
If you were to cut the cake yourselves, you’d probably miss out on being on the dance floor for quite a few songs you love. So instead, smash that first slice, raise a glass of bubbles to your partner, and let the pros take over so you can continue enjoying your party.
You Have More Important Things to Do.
Many guests see the serving of dessert as a sign that the evening is coming to an end. Even if you’re hosting a late-night reception or after-party, guests who do not wish to stay out all night will view dessert as their opportunity to take their leave politely.
This means they’ll want to get a little face time in with the bride and groom, thank them for having them, share their final well-wishes, and say goodnight. Unfortunately, if you’re cutting the cake, guests won’t be able to have the last conversation with you before the night ends.
What Is the Most Popular Wedding Cake Flavour?
The 1960s
Starting in the 1960s, the go-to cake was vanilla (37.5 per cent), locally made (94 per cent), three-tiered (65 per cent), and less than $100 (56 per cent). Interestingly, the ’60s look like the decade with the tallest cakes-more than 23 per cent of couples had four tiers or more, including 3 per cent who had a whopping seven tiers. Plus, a trailblazing 2 per cent of couples bucked tradition to go with confetti as their cake flavour.
The 1970s
In the 1970s, vanilla was even more popular (45 per cent), followed by yellow (18 per cent), though by then, approximately 60 per cent of couples paid more than $100 for their cakes, including nearly 2 per cent who paid $1,000 (that’s about $6,500 in today’s value).
More than 77 per cent went with a tiered wedding cake, of which 72 per cent went with the classic three. Only 36 per cent of weddings offered desserts besides cake at this point, but cookies were the most popular choice and would remain the favourite non-cake dessert until at least 2009, the year of the cupcake.
The 1980s
By the 1980s, though nearly half of all couples went for vanilla (48 per cent), followed by yellow (15 per cent) and chocolate (13 per cent), more than a third (35 per cent) began incorporating multiple flavours into their cakes. In addition, 81 per cent went for a tiered cake, including more than 10 per cent who got four tiers or more.
The 1990s
Though you can guess the top three flavours for the next decade (hi, still vanilla, yellow, and chocolate), it was in the ’90s that the needle began moving, if just the tiniest bit, toward unconventional cake flavours like spice, angel food, and banana (all one per cent), strawberry (two per cent), and red velvet (three per cent). By then, more than a quarter (26 per cent) of couples had a single-tiered wedding cake.
The 2000s
Finally, by the 2000s, there was a shift in the cake trinity when chocolate moved to second place (17 per cent) after vanilla (a stable 40 per cent); red velvet took third at 11 per cent, relegating yellowcake to fourth place (9 per cent). Elsewhere on the dessert table, cookies (44 per cent) and cupcakes (31 per cent) supplemented the dessert menu for the 40 per cent of couples who offered something beyond cake.
The 2010s
That leads us to the current decade, in which the top three flavours are still vanilla (26 per cent), chocolate (20 per cent), and red velvet (14 per cent). However, in the modern wedding landscape, yellow cake, once a reliable third-place pick, is requested as much as strawberry (5 per cent), while 3 per cent went with coconut or “a different fruit flavour.”
How Much Should You Order for a Wedding Cake?
Guest List
One of the first questions your wedding cake baker will ask you is how many servings you’d like for your guests. There are plenty of people who attend a wedding and never take a slice of cake, so you can usually get away with ordering enough cake for 77 to 85 per cent of guests. And since your venue and baker may have different ideas about what constitutes a “slice,” you may still have more than enough cake to go around.
Budget and Aesthetics
Some couples love the look of a large wedding cake but don’t need the number of servings that come with it. If you think you’d like a five-tier cake, chat with your baker about creative ways to keep it small but still accomplish the look you’re going for. Some couples opt to have a layer or two of “fake cake” so they can cut into a multi-layer cake but can still offer other desserts to guests.
Additional Desserts
If you plan to have a dessert display or serve a plated dessert at the dinner table, you’ll need much less cake. You can probably order about 50 per cent cake in this case and fill in with the other desserts for everyone else.
Service Style
In the rare instance that you may be planning to serve slices of wedding cake while guests are seated at the dinner table, you’ll, of course, need to order enough cake for each guest. But as most wedding cakes are served while guests are mingling and dancing, it’s usually not necessary to account for each individual.
Importance
Since the cost of a wedding cake ranges from $3 to $20 per slice or more, this bill can add up quickly. It’s often helpful to come up with a total you’re comfortable spending on the wedding cake and work backwards from there to determine the right size, style, and serving amount. If the cake isn’t a big priority, allocating that money toward desserts you love may be a better option for you.
Do People Eat Cake at a Wedding?
Pro: You Need Just One Dessert Option.
If you’re planning to get a wedding cake that’s large enough to feed all of your guests, then it’s okay to offer just one dessert option. This can be a money saver, depending on how large your guest count is and how you choose to have your cake decorated.
Con: Not Everyone Likes Cake.
When there’s only one dessert option, there’s a good chance you do not please everyone’s palate. Whether they don’t love the flavours you’ve chosen or detest cake in general, not everyone at the party will choose to eat your dessert. Only about 50-60% of guests will grab a slice when the cake is offered.
Pro: You Can Still Mix Flavours.
Most bakers allow couples to choose two or more flavours for a traditional tiered wedding cake, so you can still offer a variety of options to guests without splurging on a full dessert table. Another option would be to order a cake in one flavour, then offer other options in sheet cakes cut in the kitchen. No one will know the difference.
Con: Guests May Not Get What They Want.
If your cake contains two flavours-say, chocolate and vanilla-you will undoubtedly have guests who don’t receive the flavour they want. They can usually swap with someone nearby or ask the waitstaff for an alternative slice, but this could do more work for your vendors in the end.
Pro: You Can Do the Math.
Because ordering wedding cake is a science, you can be very specific with the quantity of cake you’re ordering. That means you’re able to purchase just enough for each guest.
Con: There Will Probably Be Leftovers.
Yes, you can order the right size cake for your guest count, but that doesn’t mean it will all get eaten. You could still end up with a lot of cake wasted if many guests choose not to grab a slice.
Pro: You Can Make Dessert Into Its Course.
If you love the idea of a formal, seated four-course meal, serving wedding cake at the table helps make it possible without too much-added expense.
Con: it Will Be a Long Meal.
Guests tend to get antsy when they’ve been sitting for too long at a wedding, so many will get up and start wandering around while the cake is being served. If the dance floor isn’t going at this point, it could be awkward in the timeline where guests don’t know what to do with themselves.
What to Know About Wedding Cakes?
They Were Originally a Symbol of Fertility.
Wedding cakes have been steeped in tradition since medieval times. Originally they were made with only wheat (a symbol of fertility and prosperity) and thrown at the bride. Eventually, they became edible, although they were broken over the bride’s head as a symbol of breaking the bride’s virginity and the groom’s dominance over her. (Was this the forerunner for smashing the cake into one’s face?)
Wedding Cake Crumbs Were Kept Under Pillows.
Fortunately, as cakes became larger, this tradition disappeared. During the 17 century, wedding cakes were simple tiered plum cakes. During this time, the wedding cakes crumbs were often found under pillows of single attendees, hoping to dream of future spouses.
They Are Based on a Church.
In 1703 a man named Thomas Rich, a baker’s apprentice, fell in love with his employer’s daughter and asked her to marry him. He wanted to make an extravagant cake, so he drew on St Bride’s Church in London (see photo on the right) for inspiration.
Originally, such cakes were reserved for royalty only. Today, with pillars and hardened icing, it is not unusual to see five-tiered cakes, although Kim Kardashian had to have eight (see the image above – it cost $20,000!) However, three-tiered cakes seem to be more in vogue; the bottom for the reception, the second layer for sharing and the third layer to keep for the first anniversary.
They represent the first task that a pair does in public as a married couple.
By the 19th century, cutting the wedding cake became the symbol of the first task that the wedding pair did jointly as a married couple. Then came the tradition of feeding a piece to one another, a symbol of the commitment of the newly married that they could provide for each other. This was supposed to be a romantic gesture, showing love and affection.
Wedding Cakes Are Not Always White.
It is not necessary to have a white wedding cake, another traditional symbol of purity. In contemporary times, brides coordinate their cakes with colour schemes and textures (laces, ruffles, etc.) of their wedding apparel. Cakes have different tiers of hues, usually darker to lightest. Real flowers, leaves or fruit can adorn the tops. Other tops have stencilled scenes or portraits of the bridal couple.

ABOUT US
My baking journey began in 2009 in a high school food technology class. To my surprise, I quickly realised that I loved being in the kitchen baking delicious treats, and I seemed to be quite good at it! I had found a new hobby; baking.
In 2010 I suffered a serious injury while playing professional badminton. Suddenly I was an athlete who couldn’t train and a competitor who could not compete. During this difficult time, I turned to bake. What had once been a hobby was now helping me to heal, and the thought crossed my mind, “can my hobby become my career?”. All I knew was, I had to try.
As a perfectionist and a competitive perfectionist at that, I started to bake for hours on end, not stopping until I had mastered a recipe. My passion for baking grew deeper as I began to realise that what made me happy also made those around me happy. My friends and family were eating a lot of cakes while I refined my baking techniques.
With the encouragement of my brother, Sawan, I started an Instagram account, #ruwiscakes, to showcase my creations. Eventually, people started to take notice, and customers began to call. Sawan is now my business partner, and together we have started a business that offers custom cake designs unique to each and every customer.
As I take great delight in delivering exactly what my customers want on their special day, I use this as a force to continuously drive me to innovate the experience of ordering a custom cake. We want to make your special day even more memorable by customising the cake exactly to your needs that will be both beautiful and tasty 🙂

Our brand-new range of “Every Day Cakes” are designed to delight, and contactless delivery is available to your Melbourne home or office!
Get The Party Started
Whatever your style is, we’d love to create the best cake or cupcakes that will suit your taste. If you want to embrace a rustic theme, celebrate a religious tradition, or impress clients and employees, we can handcraft a dessert perfect for the event. Our custom-made creations are the perfect centrepiece for every event and taste as good as they look.
We also love children’s parties-between the balloons, the dancing, and the streamers, we can’t seem to get enough of the fun. And what better way to top it off than with a perfect birthday cake for your loved one that shows their special interests. Or how about an impressive 3D cake to bring more life to the party?
No matter what your special cake needs or occasion, we have you covered.
We Love A Bit Of A Challenge
We are artists who love a challenge; however unique your design is, we will make it! We will work to understand your needs and make sure the end result is just as you imagined it. We can also make matching cookie favours and custom cupcakes to complement your event theme. Our Melbourne team gets a thrill out of being creative and can suggest options if you need some inspiration.
We have a range of delicious flavours as well as options for multi-tier designs or custom shapes. We specialise in wedding, corporate, christening, special occasion, novelty, and custom cupcakes to delight guests at your event. For extra convenience, we provide a Melbourne-wide delivery. We can deliver straight to your event, Monday to Sunday, during business hours (or at another time for an extra fee).

About our Wedding Cakes
Our Pastry chef has been designing cakes for over 20 years.

From Magical creations, romantic designs, vintage or rustic, Regnier Cakes is in the top 10 wedding cake businesses in Melbourne.
The History Behind Regnier Cakes
Like all good stories, mine starts way back, before I was even born.
My great-grandma, President of the CWA, expert cake maker, winner of all CWA competitions (hence the reason for her becoming President, so someone else could win), a strong woman and leader in the community.
I wish I had known her. But her love for cakes and baking was passed down through the generations, skipping a few to get to me.
This explains me, full of strength, determination and absolute love for baking.
As a child, I was always helping mum in the kitchen every chance I had. Grade 5 became the start of what would be my baking dreams. I entered my very first cake competition at my school fete. I selected the piggy cake from the famous Women’s Weekly cake book. To my surprise, I won my first competition.
Once I reached high school, my parents sent me to a local cake decorating school to learn some exciting cake decorating techniques. From that day onwards, every family members birthday and every public holiday gave me an excuse to bake and decorate.
At age 16, I decided it was time to take my love of baking to a new level. I left high school and started my baking and pastry apprenticeship. Thanks to my dad driving me to work at 3 am I was able to follow my dream.
In 2001 and 2002, I represented Victoria in the National Bake Skills competition, where I won many awards, including the best chocolate base invention cake (which today is known as my wicked Belgian mud cake). There I was lucky enough to work and be mentored by some of the best pastry chefs and bakers in Australia. In 2002 I was awarded Victoria’s food apprentice of the year and once again was lucky enough to represent my state again in the National LA Judge Baking Awards.
Then Regnier Cakes was born, crafting cakes for friends and family. I worked for years refining my skills and inventing new recipes on my days off from my full-time job. Today Regnier Cakes is my full-time business. Using my skills and knowledge from my pastry background, I’m not only designing amazing cakes but creating mouth-watering flavours to tempt all taste buds. June 2015, I secured my first premises, a kitchen to call my own, with a meeting area for cake clients.
Now the dream continues, finding a new space to share our love of everything sweet.
Every day something amazing is being crafted in the Regnier Cakes kitchen, and I hope I will be able to assist you and your family in designing and creating something special for your next occasion.
