Brisbane Broncos Cupcakes

These cakes for a Brisbane Broncos fan's birthday were cookies and cream cupcakes with vanilla buttercream grass, hand-piped bronco jerseys and chocolate truffle footballs.

Its a Boy! Baby Shower

These cupcakes were ordered for a baby shower. The cupcakes with love-hearts were cookies & cream, and the ones with the cute baby teddies were choc-mint. Only the love-heart design from the samples was kept for the actual shower order. 

Orders Unavailable July 9th - 17th

Just a quick note to let everyone know that cupcakes will not be able to be ordered for between the 9th and 17th of July inclusive, as I will be away on holidays. Thanks to the two very understanding ladies who wanted to place orders for this week, who I had to turn away. Again I apologise for not being able to make cupcakes for your occasions, it really is a horrible feeling being unable to fulfil customers' wishes.

Thanks,
Tamara

How do I order custom cupcakes?

To place a custom order or make an enquiry, please either email (perfectdozencupcakery@gmail.com), drop in to our cupcake shop at 86 Russell St Toowoomba, or call us at the store on 07 4639 1548.

One week's notice is preferred when placing custom orders, however this is subject to availability (as the number of orders we can accommodate per date is limited). The earlier you place your order, the better chance you have of your date still being available for custom cupcake orders! Particularly for wedding orders we suggest ordering at least 2 months prior to the wedding date as these periods can book up quickly.

Please note that a 50% deposit is required upon booking to secure your order. If we do not receive this deposit, we assume you no longer want to place an order. Deposits must be received by at least one week prior to the order collection date.

Cupcake decorations and colours can be customised to suit a theme or occasion, so keep this in mind for when you place an order. The minimum quantity of one flavour that can be ordered is 12 of the regular size and 24 of the mini size.

How it all started

It was on a trip to Melbourne in early 2006 that I first discovered the wonderful world of the modern cupcake when I sampled one of the gorgeous Life's Sweet cupcakes.

Having been a keen baker since learning the basics in high school, and being extremely fascinated by the delicate buttercream roses that topped the Life's Sweet cakes, I began baking cupcakes and experimenting with different decoration techniques.

After nearly a year-long quest for the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe, finding some new favourites, as well as converting some old faithful cake recipes to cupcake form, I sold my first cupcakes at the Cabarlah Markets at the start of 2007. Things have just grown from there!
