Cake inspiration! 🎂 We love how a fun character theme can turn a celebration into something memorable. What character would you choose for your next birthday cake?

East Auckland cake decorators — Halloween supplies are still only a parcel away. 🎃📦

If you used to pop into Sweetiepie for those last-minute cutters, sprinkles and decorations, The Cake Mixer now carries the range online with delivery around NZ.

Halloween is getting closer, so now is a good time to get the decorating box sorted before the October rush really starts. 👻

A little cake-design reminder: simple doesn’t have to mean boring.

A limited colour palette, one strong focal point and a few beautifully finished details can often have more impact than trying to fit every idea onto one cake.

It’s especially useful when you’re working with a smaller cake — scale the design back rather than shrinking every single element.

Sometimes less really does give the details more room to shine.

From Sweetiepie to The Cake Mixer… there have been a LOT of cakes along the way. 🎂

We might now be creating them from Ruakākā, but it’s still the same love of edible art behind every order. Designs have changed, trends have come and gone, and somehow there is always another new cake idea to try!

Thank you to everyone from our Auckland years who still follows, comments, orders online or recommends us to friends. We notice you. 💕

Cake inspiration ✨

One of the best things about custom cakes is seeing how one idea can be interpreted in so many different ways. Colour, texture, piping and toppers can completely change the feel of a design.

When you’re saving cake inspiration, don’t worry about finding one cake that is absolutely perfect — save the individual details you love. A colour palette from one cake, piping from another and a topper style from somewhere else can become something completely unique.

What cake style are you loving at the moment — vintage piping, clean buttercream, fondant or something completely different?

A whole lot of cupcakes have been made since the Sweetiepie days… and some things definitely haven’t changed. 🧁💕

We’re still baking, decorating and playing with new flavours — now as The Cake Mixer in Ruakākā. It’s always lovely having our Auckland followers along for the ride.

🎃 Remember coming to Sweetiepie for your cake decorating supplies?

The shelves may have moved north, but you can still shop with us online through The Cake Mixer — and Halloween is giving us plenty of excuses to bring out the sprinkles, cutters, cupcake cases and spooky decorations. 👻🦇💀

Orders can be sent throughout NZ, so our Auckland cake decorators don’t have to miss out.

Still making cakes — just a little further north these days! 🎂

Sweetiepie may have evolved into The Cake Mixer and moved to Ruakākā, but the cake decorating certainly hasn’t stopped. We’re still creating celebration cakes every week, and we still love seeing familiar names from our Auckland days pop up.

For our East Auckland followers: Auckland delivery can sometimes be arranged for custom cakes, depending on the date and location.

It’s lovely to still have so many of you following along after all these years. 💕

A little hello from us 👋🎂

A lot has changed since the Sweetiepie days in East Auckland — including a rather large move north!
