Wedding Cakes Designed Around Each Couple
RealWeddings Guide
Get Caked by Lisa approaches wedding cakes as considered design pieces, combining refined composition with a playful, romantic edge. Led by pastry chef Lisa Van Zanten, each cake is individually designed to suit the couple, their celebration and the overall look and feel of the day.
The process begins with an enquiry covering the wedding date, venue, guest numbers, cake size, colour direction and budget. Couples can then visit Lisa’s Port Melbourne studio for a pre-booked tasting and consultation, with a selection of flavours ranging from vanilla and raspberry or passionfruit to chocolate, salted caramel, tiramisu and coconut and lime.
Gluten-free, nut-allergy and egg-free requirements can also be accommodated, with allergen limitations discussed directly with each couple. Lisa works personally with couples to refine the design, flavours and finishing details, with options spanning buttercream, ganache, fondant, fresh florals and handcrafted decorative elements. For wedding cakes requiring it, delivery and on-site setup can also be incorporated into the service.
The studio is particularly suited to couples looking for a contemporary, design-led wedding cake with clean lines, modern silhouettes and thoughtful handcrafted details, while still allowing the finished design to feel personal to their celebration.

Yes, including gluten intolerance, nut allergies and egg-free cakes. The kitchen handles gluten, egg, dairy and sometimes nuts, so traces of allergens can't be ruled out, and Lisa advises guests with a severe allergy not to eat the cake.
The minimum spend is $250.
Each cake is quoted individually. The price depends on the finish (buttercream, ganache or fondant), the number of portions, the level of design detail, colour matching, ingredients and packaging, any tools or stencils needed, and the number of tiers.
As a rough guide:
- basic buttercream finish: $7–$7.50 per head
- basic ganache finish: $8–$8.50 per head
- basic smooth fondant finish: $9–$10 per head
These are starting prices; fresh flowers, sugar flowers and intricate details are extra.
Lisa recommends no more than 2 flavours, so guests aren't faced with too many options.
More than 2 flavours carries a $1.50 per person surcharge.
Naked wedding cakes can only have 2 flavours, and red velvet can only be used as the top tier, not as structural layers.
Yes. For wedding cakes, florals need to be delivered the day before, and Lisa won't use flowers that aren't fresh.
