Celebrate in style with our show-stopping handmade cakes for 12+ people. Perfect for weddings, milestone birthdays, and corporate events, our large cakes combine premium ingredients, stunning designs, and the wow factor every big occasion deserves.

There’s something unforgettable about the moment a large, beautifully handmade cake makes its entrance at a celebration. The height, the craftsmanship, the promise of rich flavours, it instantly becomes the centrepiece of the room. Whether it’s a towering wedding cake adorned with fresh flowers, a show-stopping chocolate mudcake for a milestone birthday, or a sleek corporate cake proudly featuring your brand, our cakes for 12+ people deliver both visual and emotional impact.


At Dello Mano, we’ve been creating cakes for 12+ people for over 18 years, delivering throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast. Each of our cakes is baked in small batches, using premium Belgian chocolate, real butter, and fresh cream, to ensure every slice is as delicious as it looks. We believe that a cake should be more than dessert, it should be a shared experience that brings people together.



If you’re planning a big event, explore our Cakes for 12+ people Collection and find a design that will wow your guests and make your celebration truly memorable.

Why Choose a Cake for 12+ People?


Perfect Portioning for Large Groups

When you’ve got a big guest list, portion control matters. Cakes for 12+ people take the guesswork out of serving; each guest gets a generous, consistent slice, and no one is left out. It’s perfect for formal seating arrangements where you need to ensure everyone is served quickly and neatly.


Cost-Effective Celebration

Ordering one large cake is often more budget-friendly than purchasing multiple smaller cakes. You save on decoration costs, delivery fees, and set-up time. Plus, one grand centrepiece makes a far stronger visual statement than several smaller cakes scattered around the room.


Visual & Emotional Impact

A large handmade cake instantly commands attention. Guests gather around it, photos are taken, and anticipation builds before the first slice is cut. Whether it’s an elegant wedding tier or a bold single-tier design, the visual impact can set the tone for the entire event.


Sustainability Benefits

One large cake means less packaging waste, fewer courier trips, and one central display, a thoughtful choice for environmentally conscious hosts.

Perfect Occasions for our Cakes for 12+ people


Weddings & Engagement Parties

A wedding cake is a tradition, a symbol, and a focal point of the day. Our large cakes are crafted to cut cleanly, hold their shape for photographs, and taste as exquisite as they look. Whether you choose a multi-tiered design or a single-tier statement cake, we’ll help you match flavours, fillings, and finishes to your wedding style.


Pro tip: Cakes for 12+people are large. For a smooth service, use a long, sharp cake knife and lightly score the top of the cake before cutting, it makes portioning elegant and efficient.



Corporate Events & Launches

From product launches to annual galas, a branded cake creates a memorable talking point. We can incorporate your corporate colours, create edible logo toppers, and design flavour profiles that reflect your brand personality. Our corporate cakes also travel well, ensuring they arrive at your Brisbane, Gold Coast, or Sunshine Coast venue in pristine condition.



Milestone Birthdays & Anniversaries

Celebrating a 50th birthday, golden wedding anniversary, or multi-generational family reunion? A large cake does double duty as dessert and décor. Guests will gather for the ceremonial cutting, and the photos will become treasured keepsakes. Pair your large cake with treats from our Birthday Cake Collection for a complete celebration spread.

Need a smaller cake? See our Cakes for 8–10 People or Cakes for 4–6 People, handmade with the same luxury and care, just in smaller sizes.

We also offer gluten-friendly large cakes. Note: While we do not use gluten-containing ingredients in these cakes, they are made in a multipurpose kitchen where gluten is present.

Serving & Presentation Tips for Large Cakes


  • Portioning: For rich cakes like mudcake, slices of around 2.5 cm wide are ideal. For lighter cakes, slightly larger slices work well.

  • Display: Use a handmade ceramic or timber cake stand to give height and presence. Surround the base with fresh flowers, herbs, or seasonal fruits to create a natural, elegant look.

  • Decorative Elements: Consider edible gold leaf, chocolate curls, or hand-piped designs for a luxury finish. Our cakes for 12+ people are stunning and look even better with natural foliage.

  • Storage Before Serving: Keep the cake chilled until an hour before cutting to maintain freshness and structure. There are often leftovers of cakes for 12+ people, so be sure to wrap and seal them and keep them refrigerated.
