About the Photo Cakes Melbourne

Photo Cakes Melbourne is an online subsidiary of The Gourmet Ice Cream Factory Pty Ltd. We are a 100% Australian, family owned business operated within Melbourne, Victoria. This site was created to bring our amazing ice cream birthday cakes to a wider audience via the world-wide-web.

Our Ice Cream

Lick Me™ is a premium consumer brand of ice cream produced by the Gourmet Ice Cream Factory in Camberwell, Melbourne, Victoria. Lick  Me™ represents the essence of a traditional European ice cream and sorbet recipes that have been nurtured by three generations. This cultural inheritance has resulted in the creation of the most natural and exclusive ice cream in Australia.

Our ice cream and sorbet flavours have won many gold medals at the Dairy Industry Association National Awards as well as Dairy Australia’s “Grand Dairy Awards.” We are committed to only using natural products (no artificial colours or artificial flavours) and the use of only the freshest ingredients, The Gourmet Ice Cream Factory is proud to promote its exclusive brand.

All of our ice cream is made gluten free, however we do add Oreo cookies to our Cookies & Cream flavour.

Our ice cream is made the old fashioned way – full cream milk, cream and real, natural ingredients. For example we use real strawberries in our strawberry ice cream and real bananas in our banana ice cream. Not only does this make our ice cream tastier, but it contributes to making it more allergy tolerant for many people with different intolerances. You can definitely taste the difference.

I cant recommend them enough if you are after an ice cream cake and delivery service was amazing. Will definitely be returning when the need arises for another cake.”

Leanne G – “We had your sorbet cake today for my sons 21st birthday. Due to him being anaphylactic to Dairy, Eggs & Nuts this was his first “store bought” birthday cake & all 3 flavours were delicious. I had fantastic communication by your team to assure me there would be no issues with regards his allergies. It was great seeing him & all my family enjoying the same dessert.”

Christina D – “The cake we selected was a builder cake. It’s was just amazing, the flavours were divine and not too sweet or sickly like supermarket ice cream cake. Very impressive, all our guests enjoyed it and asked for your contact so they can purchase a cake from you for various birthdays during this year. I also have to say, the service I received ordering the cake was very professional, as I ordered the cake from Queensland for my best friends birthday, and I was not arriving until the weekend. They helped me with the photo image as I couldn’t upload it on the computer, so had to email the image. Also they delivered the cake to the venue which was a plus, no hassles about picking it up etc. full recommendation to all, you will not be disappointed. Thanks so much, Christina D.”

Delivery

Deliveries are usually between 8.00 am and 2.00 pm on Saturdays and generally after 1.00 pm weekdays. Please call us prior to ordering a cake if delivery is required before 1.00pm on a weekday. Whilst this is usually possible,  prior notice is needed to ensure earlier delivery.

Our cakes will keep perfectly well in your freezer. All of our cakes are made fresh for you and will keep for up to 12 months in your freezer, but are best eaten within 90 days.  At present we do not deliver on Sundays.

As we cannot deliver to specific time requests, your cake will be delivered on or before the time you specify in checkout. The time you specify in checkout should be the function time or the latest time you require your cake. We will deliver your cake prior to the commencement of the party time, NOT at the time you have requested. Our drivers will send you a text message when they are approximately 30 minutes away from delivering your cake, so please ensure your phone is on. Cakes may also be delivered a day or so prior to when it was ordered for and are easily stored in your freezer. We will make prior arrangement with you when this is the case.

Cake Box Sizes

For all cakes up to and including our 2 litre size, the cake box is approximately 25cm x 25cm x 10cm deep.

For most 3 and 4 litre cakes the boxes are approximately 30cm x 30cm x 12cm deep.

For all rectangular and novelty shaped cakes, the cake box is approximately 39cm x 39cm x 10cm deep.

If freezer space is a concern, please ask us for the exact box measurement for your cake. If you have a smaller freezer space, just let us know in the comments section as we can usually cut the cake board so the cake can fit in your freezer.

We use our very own refrigerated ice cream delivery truck to bring your birthday cake order right to your door! That’s one less thing you have to worry about for your special occasion. Spend less time running around and let us deal with the cake end of the business and bring it to the party for you.
