Discover our small handmade cakes for 4–6 people,  the perfect size for intimate celebrations, birthdays, and everyday indulgence. Crafted in Brisbane with premium ingredients and delivered across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast, these cakes offer the ideal balance of portion, flavour, and luxury.

There’s something undeniably special about a perfectly sized cake that feels made just for you and your closest circle. Our small cakes for 4–6 people are the sweet spot for cosy gatherings, big enough to share, but small enough to finish without waste. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, saying thank you, or adding a touch of indulgence to a dinner party, these cakes are as versatile as they are delicious.


Each one is handmade in our Brisbane kitchen, crafted in small batches with premium ingredients, and delivered fresh to your door. Browse our Small Cakes for 4–6 People collection to find your perfect match.

Why 4–6 People Is the “Just Right” Size


Choosing the right cake size can be tricky — go too small and you’ll run out before everyone’s had a slice, too big and you’ll be eating leftovers for days. Our small cakes for 4–6 people hit the perfect balance.

They’re ideal for:

  • Intimate celebrations with family or close friends

  • Small birthday gatherings where you want every slice to be fresh

  • Special dinners where dessert is the grand finale

  • Everyday indulgence when you feel like treating yourself


With just the right number of slices, you can enjoy your celebration without worrying about waste. Explore our Small Cakes for 4–6 People and see why this size is one of our most-loved options.


Not sure if 4–6 is right for your occasion? Our Cake Size Guide walks you through every size option so you can order with confidence.

How to Serve a Small Cake for Maximum Enjoyment


A cake for 4–6 people is all about savouring the moment without excess. For a gathering of four, each guest can enjoy a generous slice; for six, you’ll have perfectly portioned servings that leave everyone satisfied. Use a long, sharp cake knife for clean cuts, and serve on beautiful plates to elevate the experience.


Leftovers, if there are any, can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days, maintaining freshness and flavour. Pair your cake with a perfectly matched drink: a rich chocolate mudcake loves a strong espresso, while fruity cakes shine alongside sparkling wine or a fragrant herbal tea.

For larger events, you can also explore our Cakes for 8–10 People for the same handmade luxury in a bigger size.

Occasions That Call for Small Cakes


Birthdays & Anniversaries

For a small guest list, a cake for 4–6 is more than enough to mark the occasion in style. Choose from rich mudcakes, light tortes, or seasonal flavours that make the moment extra special.


Afternoon Tea or High Tea

Thank-You Gifts

A small handmade cake makes a thoughtful, heartfelt thank-you gift for friends, neighbours, or workmates.


No matter the reason, our Small Cakes for 4–6 People are designed to make every occasion memorable.

The Dello Mano Handmade Touch


Every cake we make begins with our commitment to luxury handmade quality. We use only premium ingredients, rich Belgian chocolate, real butter, and fresh cream, and craft each cake in small batches to ensure every bite is perfect.

Our cakes are elegantly packaged for gifting or easy transport, making them as beautiful to present as they are to enjoy. Order from our Small Cakes for 4–6 People range and experience the difference that care, craftsmanship, and 18+ years of baking expertise can make.

Perfect Pairings & Styling Ideas


The beauty of a small cake is that it invites a more personal, intimate table setting. Keep the focus on the cake by pairing it with a crisp white or neutral linen tablecloth, elegant dessert plates, and polished silverware. Fresh flowers in soft tones make a charming centrepiece without overpowering the scene.


For a complete sensory experience, pair rich chocolate cakes with dark roast coffee or dessert wine, while fruit-topped cakes pair beautifully with sparkling mineral water or champagne. Add a few handmade treats from our Little Luxuries Collection to round out the table and give guests something extra to enjoy.
