At a glance
The local setting
Carlton has heritage terrace and university-precinct venues, restaurant function rooms along Lygon Street, and rooms within the Carlton Gardens and Royal Exhibition Building precinct. Many are older two-storey buildings with the function room upstairs and no goods lift, so confirm whether the cake table is on the ground floor or up a flight of stairs before the delivery plan is set.
Getting it inside
Delivery from Hoppers Crossing runs in on the M1 and across to the north of the city, usually around 40 minutes outside peak, with the slow part being the grid of one-way streets and tram lines around Lygon Street. Carlton has very little off-street parking and timed loading zones, so confirm the nearest legal stopping point and whether the cake has to be carried any distance from the van to the room.
Design direction
The heritage terraces and Lygon Street rooms suit classic tiered cakes with restrained sugar work or fresh florals that sit well against ornate cornices and warm interior light. Older rooms upstairs can hold heat on a still day, so ask whether the room is air conditioned before choosing a soft buttercream that needs to hold its edge through a long sit-down dinner.

Local questions
Around 40 minutes via the M1 outside peak, though the one-way streets and tram lines around Lygon Street and the Carlton Gardens mean the last few blocks and finding a legal stop usually take longer than the freeway run.
We carry the tiers up and assemble or steady the cake in the room, but please tell us if the function room is up a flight of stairs with no lift, as that changes how we box and carry the cake.
