Flour and Frost

Flour and Frost is a home-based cake business serving Tuggeranong and the wider Canberra community, with a focus on made-to-order cakes and sweet treats for celebrations. Customers can order cakes, cupcakes and personalised designs, then choose a pickup time and collect from the dedicated Flour & Frost kitchen. The website presents it as an ordering and collection experience rather than a conventional sit-down dessert venue, making it a practical option when you need something prepared for a birthday, engagement, wedding, Valentine’s Day or another special occasion.

Custom cakes are the centrepiece of the offering. The ordering process allows customers to select a cake size, colour preferences, flavour and decoration style, then add details such as a theme, inspiration image and cake topper. The available flavour choices include buttercake, vanilla bean, red velvet, marble, funfetti, coconut and raspberry, caramel mud, chocolate mud and white chocolate mud, with gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options also listed. That level of choice suits customers who want a cake designed around a particular person, event or colour scheme rather than a standard supermarket cake.

For shorter lead times, Petite Treat Cakes are six-inch, single-tier vanilla bean cakes that can be tailored with colours and an occasion. The website says they serve around eight to ten dessert portions and require only a few days’ notice, although last-minute topper customisation may be limited. Other listed products include Sweet Heart Cakes, Tiny Cakes, Simply Slab Cakes, Signature Cupcakes and Classroom Minis, giving customers options for everything from a small gift to a larger gathering. The site also highlights Valentine’s Day pre-orders and wedding cake enquiries.

Behind the business is Carissa, who began making cakes for friends and family in 2015 before turning the hobby into Flour and Frost in 2017. As demand grew, the business moved beyond the family home kitchen and gained a dedicated kitchen space in 2023, which is also used for cake workshops and events. That background gives the business a personal, hands-on character, with celebration cakes and decorating treated as creative work rather than just a retail product. With a 4.9 Google rating from 92 reviews, Flour and Frost is worth considering for Canberra families, couples and anyone organising a celebration who wants a personalised cake collected locally.
