International Men's Day Cupcakes
Understated cupcakes for International Men's Day events on 19 November — workplace morning teas, sporting club gatherings and community events. Styled in navy, charcoal, timber tones and cream, with no novelty finishes unless you want them. Baked to order in my Redland Bay studio. I'm an independent baker, not affiliated with any organisation behind the day.

Grown-up styling
Most requests for this day want something that doesn't look like a birthday party: flat or lightly swirled buttercream, dark and neutral tones, maybe a single gold accent. Flavour tends to matter more than decoration here, so caramel, chocolate and salted caramel are common picks.
Fits alongside a barbecue or a talk
These events often already have savoury food organised. A smaller cupcake order for the end of the session usually works better than a full dessert table — tell me the format and I'll suggest a quantity that won't be left over.
Available flavours
Choose from my full cupcake menu: White Chocolate, Chocolate, White Choc/Raspberry (also available Gluten Free), Caramel, Red Velvet, Cookies & Cream and Funfetti. Additional flavours are available on request, and splitting an order across two or three flavours usually suits a shared table best.
Sizes and box options
Standard cupcakes come in boxes of 6, 12 or 24, or as larger sets for bigger events. Mini cupcakes stretch a headcount further, and cake pops or cakesicles can be added if you want something people can pick up one-handed at a stall or reception desk.
Gluten Free availability
Gluten Free is available across White Chocolate, Chocolate and White Choc/Raspberry. My home-based studio also handles gluten — please review my Dietary Information before ordering if anyone attending has a serious gluten intolerance.
How ordering works
Send through your date, headcount, event colours and any inspiration. I'll reply with a design proposal and quote, and orders are secured with a deposit once the design is approved. Every request includes a mandatory Dietary Acknowledgement.

Frequently asked
How much notice do you need?+
Please allow a minimum of 7 days for smaller orders. Larger or fully themed orders benefit from 2–4 weeks' notice, and awareness dates that fall in busy months book out earlier.
What flavours are available?+
White Chocolate, Chocolate, White Choc/Raspberry (also available Gluten Free), Caramel, Red Velvet, Cookies & Cream and Funfetti. Additional flavours are available on request.
Can you match our event colours?+
Yes — every order is styled to your palette or inspiration references. Send through your colours or any images you like and I'll design accordingly.
Are you affiliated with the organisation behind the day?+
No. Sweet Exchange Cakery is an independent home-based cupcake studio. I bake cupcakes for events people hold; I'm not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with any campaign, charity or organisation, and no part of an order is a donation.
Do you offer dietary options?+
Gluten Free options are available across selected flavours. My home-based studio also handles gluten and other common allergens — please review my Dietary Information before ordering.
How do I place an order?+
Submit a request with your date, quantities and any inspiration. I'll come back with a tailored design proposal, quote and next steps.
Storage Instructions+
I recommend enjoying your cupcakes on the day you collect or receive them for the freshest flavour and texture. If you need to store them, keep them in their original box or an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 2 days, away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Please avoid refrigerating cupcakes unless necessary, as refrigeration can dry out the cake and affect the texture. If the weather is particularly warm, or the product contains a perishable filling or decoration, refrigeration may be required. Store the product in an airtight container and allow it to return to room temperature before serving.
Disclaimer+
Every Sweet Exchange Cakery order is baked-to-order and individually handcrafted to order with care and attention to detail. As each product is handmade, slight variations in colour, piping, decorations and overall design are to be expected. While I will always strive to recreate your chosen design as closely as possible, an exact replica cannot be guaranteed. Decorations may also vary slightly depending on seasonal availability and supplier stock. However, the overall style, colour palette and quality of your order will always be maintained. These small variations are part of the handcrafted nature of my products and make every order beautifully unique. Thank you for supporting my small business. I am honoured to be part of your special celebration.
