GET IN TOUCH

We typically carry out our consultations via email, so feel free to reach out to us at contact@noughtsandcrosses.co.nz, fill out the online form below, or pop into our store. If you’d like to visit us in person, please contact us in advance to book an appointment, as our cake designer isn’t always on site. 

All custom cakes and cupcakes are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. For larger cakes, we recommend getting in touch at least 2 to 3 months in advance, while smaller custom cakes usually require 1 to 2 weeks’ notice.

Please note: Due to a high volume of enquiries and our cake designer also a busy parent to two young toddlers, our response time may take up to 5–7 days. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding!

ALLERGENS

While we do our best to accommodate special dietary requirements, we are not an allergen-free kitchen. Our dishes are prepared in a shared environment where eggs, nuts, gluten, and dairy are regularly used. As such, we cannot guarantee the absence of trace allergens.
