Butter Cream Cake - Simple Message Cake

Simple Message Cake (Heart or Round) — Personalised, Vintage-Piped & Less-Sweet Celebration Cake

Say it with cake using our Butter Cream Cake – Simple Message Cake, handcrafted onsite at our Unley patisserie studio (113 King William Road, Unley, SA 5061). Designed with a smooth, minimalist canvas framed by delicate vintage buttercream piping and your custom hand-piped message across the top, this cake is an iconic centrepiece for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, hen's parties, baby showers, and farewell celebrations in Adelaide.

Beneath our silky, less-sweet vanilla meringue buttercream lies our moist, fluffy Victoria Sponge—crafted from scratch so your cake tastes as light and refined as it looks in photos.

Step 1: Choose Your 8" Height & Serving Capacity Every Simple Message Cake is crafted in a generous 8" diameter to give your custom piped wording clean, balanced spacing, available in three height options:
