Should your child have an allergy, please feel free to call us to discuss both your concerns and requirements – I’m sure together we will easily be able to find ingredient substitutes and a workaround for you.

Please note that we offer a bring-your-own cake/party food option, so if you are a guest attending please check with your party host first.

Generally your host family will communicate any allergies and special requirements for their party directly with us – so we suggest that you discuss your special needs with them. However if the allergy or special requirement is of a complex nature please feel free to contact us directly, or let us know in advance to work through all your concerns.

For anyone with a food allergy concern, please relax – our knowledgable staff have years of experience in the business, and we list all of our ingredients both in our recipes. We can also provide substitute recipes and food items, simply let us know before you attend a party or class.

  • No nuts are used during Gourmet Kids baking parties, however please be aware that manufacturers carry nut-trace warnings on the packaging of cocoa (used in our baking) and chocolates (used in our baking and our lolly bags).

Birthday Cakes

No Gourmet Kids birthday party is complete without one of our special personalised cakes. We order your cake based on the number of guests, and we provide napkins, plates, spoons and candles – and excellent Happy Birthday voices as well!  If you plan to share the birthday cake with the adults, we suggest that you upgrade to the next size.  

We can have our professional cake maker copy any design and style you have in mind, supply an icecream cake with 3 flavours with any printed image or writing on top or you have the option of bringing your own cake with a small cover charge for the supply of plates candles napkins and spoons.  However, if you would like to bring all your cake requirements (bar the knife) we are happy to remove this charge.

Our ice cream cakes are all well presented and decorated with your choice of imagery in photographic quality printed onto edible rice paper (your choice is limitless – Disney themes, animals, sport or abstract, as well as the ability to scan your child’s photo).
