Miss Muffet Cakes is a cake shop at 163 Ritchie Street in Richmond, Invercargill, seen by appointment only and holding a perfect five-star rating from its two Google reviews, with its Facebook page as the place to find it online. Cake shops that work by appointment usually bake to order rather than sell from a cabinet, so expect a conversation before anything reaches the oven: the occasion, how many the cake needs to feed, flavours and finish. The good makers ask for plenty of notice, weeks rather than days, and more still around weddings and the Christmas rush. Come with a clear brief: a photo, a colour scheme, a serving count, any allergies. Regulars know a made-to-order cake is at its best close to the day, so time the pickup accordingly. For an Invercargill cake made just for the occasion, Miss Muffet Cakes in Richmond is worth messaging well ahead.
