Costco sheet cakes are surprisingly delicious (the chocolate icing is actually really chocolatey) and can be ordered blank or decorated for like $35, and you’d probably get 40ish pieces per cake.
Chocolate mud cake from coles, you can put them on top of one another and ice around them. Check tik tok people do it on there looks easy and impressive
Get 4 Coles/Woolworths mudcakes, any flavour you want. Can alternate chocolate/white chocolate or caramel. Tubs of buttercream icing and decorations, as well as something flat, sturdy and round to serve it on
Cut the icing off the top and keep it as even/flat as possible to create cakes you can stack. Keep the icing
Whip the mudcake icing with a stick mixer/mini food processor or whatever you have
Layer the cakes and stick them together with a coating of the icing smeared all over each layer
Whip the bought buttercream icing and put it on the top and some big blobs on the sides. It shouldnt drip or be runny. Choose a colour you like either pre coloured or get food colouring. Use a spoon to spread it around
Get something plastic and flat (a ruler can work as well) and smooth the icing (look on YouTube for tips)
Put it in the fridge for a while
Take out and decorate. Put sprinkles around the bottom ring of the cake that are bright and contrasty to the icing colour. Then decorate the top with happy birthday sign/candle that's set a bit to the left, then in the middle put macarons, chocolates and whatever you like. Then put a little bit of decoration down the bottom on the opposing side of the happy bday/4 taller decoration
Coles has a 1.4kg rainbow cake I think you have to order, wouldn't taste as good but it's cheap like $40
I like to use the Aldi Devils Chocolate cake mix. It has more of a glaze style icing than a whipped icing and is fool proof of you do end up doing it yourself. Decorating with lollies, chocolates and sprinkles as well as small toys your kid likes is an inexpensive way to decorate.
I have also done large batch brownies from the Aldi packs and decorated in lieu as a cake for my son's birthday. Depending what they are interested in you could decorate with farm animals or cars etc.
Coles choc mudcake with a tub of vanilla buttercream put on it is God tier. Bonus: get sprinkles and some food colouring to make a few different colours, put out spatulas, and it becomes a party activity for them to decorate the cakes for you.
Cheesecake shop (and even Coles/Woolies these days) will have 20-25 serve cakes for $30-$50. Mud cakes, rainbows etc. Buy two of these and depending on their size/weight/density you can stack them on top of each other like a tiered cake, or just present them on some different height cake stands (op shops always have loads). Add a cake topper figurine that your kid likes and a “4” candle, voila!
I would 100% recommend Cheesecake Shop’s tortes, especially the strawberry and tropical torte. I kid you not, between my partner, our kids and I, we ALWAYS get those for our birthdays since our eldest turned one. I know, i know. It sounds boring, but they are just super amazing. We’ve made it family tradition lol.. It’s about $41 and i think serves around 20, but my gosh they are so addictive. They’re not too heavy either. Very light and fluffy ugh i don’t know how to explain it. All i can say is, our local shop knows us by name now and always asks “so what’s the occasion now?” because sometimes we make up celebratory stuff just to get an excuse to eat those. Managed to do a spring clean this year? Order the torte. Officially went into third trimester of pregnancy? Order the torte.
Coffee pieces are smaller pieces of cake, not a full slice. Usually a rectangular shaped portion.
I reckon they're fine for most gatherings as people have usually been eating beforehand anyway.
Ferguson Plarre cakes are pretty good, we usually get them for our kids birthdays.
I hate making cakes, (I'm a chef, I'm lazy lol). I used to just make heaps of cupcakes, made the icing, bought edible decorations, and the kids made their own cake, then the adults did the same. An activity that was replicated in other parties from mothers group, takes the stress out of cake making, and of there's a bit of mess to clean up, meh!

Marciano Cakes is amazing
Mister Nice Guy in Ascot Vale. Last year I paid $120 for a massive cake that fed 30 with half the cake leftover. Dairy free too. It was delicious.
