​
My main aim for couples is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable process from beginning to end.
A DISCOVERY CALL / EMAIL EQUIRY
A brief chat to learn more about each other to decide if we are a good fit to work together.
I will ask the name of your venue, estimated guest numbers, your general aesthetic, and give you an idea of prices and answer any questions you may still have.​
SECURING YOUR DATE
Once you are happy to go ahead, I require a £100 booking fee redeemable against the final cost of your cake, which ensures that I will be exclusively working on your creation for that week.
Your luxury taster box is then sent to you to enjoy in your own home.
DESIGN CONSULTATION
This is when I learn much more about you as a couple, your wedding aesthetic, and your chance to show me examples of things like your bouquet, dresses, colour swatches, and anything that may be special to you that you may like to incorporate.
​
AFTER YOUR CONSULTATION
Following the consultation I will send you a design sketch or two which are then tweaked until perfectly finalised before sending a confirmation email order form with your sketch for you to confirm everything is correct.
TIME TO RELAX
​
6 weeks before delivery I will send you your invoice for the remaining balance so you don't have to worry about remembering that on top of all your other wedding plans, and meanwhile I liaise with the florist, the venue, coordinator and any other applicable wedding suppliers to ensure a smooth transition on the day.
THE BIG DAY!
The day of your wedding I deliver your cake along with a flavour menu, an allergen sheet and a cutting guide for the kitchen.
I set up the cake, style it as planned and add any last finishing touches before quietly making my exit, leaving the cake to await its big moment.
​
THE PROCESS
​
Every cake created is designed to the specification of the client, therefore I unfortunately cannot provide a set price list. The level of detail and materials used will have baring on the overall price.
A wedding almost always has a budget and therefore I provide below a starting guide price to make this process a little easier to envision.
The price guide is based on round tiers with a ganache coating and a crisp white fondant covering with modern sharp edges.
PRICE GUIDE
2-Tier wedding cakes from £450
(average investment (£500-£550)
3-Tier wedding cake from £600
(average investment £650-£800)
4-Tier wedding cake from £800
(average investment £900-£1100)
5-Tier wedding cake from £1100
(average investment £1300 + £2000)

Happy so far? .
Q & A's
How soon should I order my wedding cake? We recommend getting in touch with us as soon as you have booked your venue, this is usually a year in advance. I only focus on one wedding cake a week taking on a limited number of wedding bookings a year so my diary can bet booked quite quickly, particularly in peak wedding season.
How much does a wedding cake cost? The cost will depend on a number of factors including how many tiers, flavours, and how many hours are involved in creating your cake. For more information please see 'Prices' under the Information tab,
What size cake will I need? Ultimately, a wedding cake can be any size you want it to be! Usually, the size is guided by the number of guests, the number of the portions required and whether the cake is being served as a plated dessert or later in the day. This will be discussed in detail during your design consultation.
I love the look of a very tall cake but I dont want any cake wastage.... This isnt a problem as you can opt for one or two dummy tiers which are polystyrene cakes that are iced and decorated along with the rest of the cake. Nobody will ever know except the kitchen! Alternatively opt for all cake and freeze the remaining leftovers to look forward to after your honeymoon!

Can we have more than one flavour? and can we use fresh flowers? Yes absolutely, I highly recommend having multiple flavours for your guests to delight over. Fresh flowers are often safely used for wedding cakes and we can discuss options at your consultion.
Can I try some of the flavours? Once you have booked the date with me and attend a consultation when we get to go over all your requirements you can either try them at the consultation or have them in boxes to take away. For couples that cannot attend I am happy to post them. There is also an option to buy a box before booking at a cost of £25 which is deductable against the cost of your cake.
Do you supply cake stands? Not at this time due to a lack of storage. I will however advise you on an ideal stand and help source one if you need it.
Do you make wedding favours? Yes, I make bespoke wedding biscuits and bespoke chocolate bonbons, Please enquire during the consultion or by messaging me to find out more.
