Contains Eggs, Gluten, Milk
Product Description
Some kids want a cake they can play with. This one's exactly that - a tall tower of buttercream in bright site-safety yellow, with a toy excavator and front loader parked up top in a pile of crushed Oreo "dirt", little orange traffic cones scattered about, and a black-and-yellow hazard stripe running round the base. The trucks are toys, not fondant, so they lift straight off before you cut.
If you're planning a construction themed party, this construction birthday cake does a lot of the work for you - it's the centrepiece and the entertainment in one.
Choose your size from a 4" two-layer serving 5–6, right up to an 8" four-layer serving 50–55. Then pick your flavour: Classic Butter Vanilla, Belgium Chocolate, Lemon Curd, Strawberry Jam, Nutella Ferrero, Lotus Biscoff, Mango, Coconut or Chocolate Orange. Add a name topper and a piped message and we'll build the cake around your theme.
Every one is made by hand by our team, so no two are quite the same. Most construction cakes are ready in 2–4 days — order online for delivery across Sydney, or collect from us at Minto Mall.
How much does a construction cake cost?
Our construction cakes start at $150 for a 4" two-layer that serves 5–6, up to $450 for an 8" four-layer serving 50–55. Optional extras like a name topper or a piped message are added at checkout.
Are the diggers and the "dirt" edible?
The excavator and front loader are toy trucks rather than fondant, so they lift straight off before you cut — and the birthday kid gets to keep them. The "dirt" heaped around them is crushed Oreo, and that part is very much meant to be eaten. Worth knowing it contains gluten.
Can you change the yellow, or make it match our party theme?
Yes. The bright site-safety yellow is what you see in the photo, but it's your cake — tell us the colours you're after and we'll work to them. You can add a name topper (up to 15 characters) and a piped message (up to 10 characters), so "Mia is TWO" or similar sits right on the front.
What flavour goes best with a construction cake?
Any of our nine work: Classic Butter Vanilla, Belgium Chocolate, Lemon Curd, Strawberry Jam, Nutella Ferrero, Lotus Biscoff, Mango, Coconut and Chocolate Orange. The Belgium Chocolate is a natural fit next to the Oreo dirt if you want the whole thing to read as one. You choose when you order.
How far ahead should I order a construction birthday cake?
Most are ready in 2–4 days, so order at least that far ahead to lock in your date. This cake is also part of our Last Minute Cakes range - if the party is sooner than that, message us and we'll tell you honestly what we can do.

Cake Dimensions
View our full size guide & serving estimates →
We offer single, two and three tier cakes in a range of sizes. Serving estimates are based on standard 1.5" × 2" portions, so actual servings can vary with how the cake is cut.
For custom tiered cakes we recommend ordering at least 2–3 weeks in advance.
Cake Care Guide
Always carry your cake box from underneath — don't squeeze the sides. In the car, sit it flat on the floor (ideally with air conditioning), not on a seat.
Refrigerate your cake promptly when you get home. Take it out before serving — around 2–3 hours in cooler weather and 30 minutes in summer (about 20 minutes year-round for vegan/dairy-free cakes) — and serve at room temperature.
Keep your cake away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture to stop it collapsing. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 3–4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
Handmade With Love
Every CCT cake is handcrafted by our team, not machines. That means colours, sprinkles and finishing details may vary slightly from the photos — it's part of what makes each cake one of a kind.
On cakes with a smooth top and base, a faint seam may occasionally be visible. This is completely normal for a handmade product.
Returns & Cancellations
Because our cakes are fresh and made to order, we can't accept returns or exchanges once an order has been collected or delivered.
To cancel or change an order, please give us as much notice as possible. Whether changes are possible can depend on the cake and any items ordered in specially for you.
To request a change or cancellation, email hello@cctsydney.com with your order number.
