My main aim for couples is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable process from beginning to end.
The very first thing I do is check that I am available for your wedding date. Once confirmed I will ask you the following questions....
Name of venue
​
This will ensure that it is within a reasonable travel distance for delivery and set up of your cake. I will liaise with the venue coordinator on the run-up to your day thus taking that stress off your hands.
​
Number of guests day and evening
​
This will allow me to understand how many servings you will likely need.
The style of your wedding décor and any ideas you may already have for the cake design and flavours.
Although I aim to learn more about your personal style during the consultation, it is good for me to learn a little in advance as it will spark my imagination on design ideas.
​
Your budget
​
This will give me some idea of styles I can work with to maximise the wow factor in the design choices and send you and estimated quote based on all the information you have provided.
Next steps..... Securing your date!
Once you are happy to go ahead and start creating your dream cake I require a £100 booking fee. This will ensure that I do not take on any other orders for that week and I will be exclusively working on your creation.
The booking fee will be redeemed against the final cost of your cake and you will be invited for an in person consultation (Fondant designs only) and you get to sample some flavours.
The option of a zoom call is also available if travel is difficult and your taster box will be posted.
During the consultation we discuss everything in more detail and I will show you some ideas that I may have, based on the information you initially provided. From there we design your dream cake.
Following the consultation I will email you to confirm details we've discussed and send you a sketch of your creation which can be tweaked or adjustments made as necessary.
Once finalised I send a confirmation email of all details for you to double check and confirm.
6 weeks before delivery I will send you a reminder to pay the remaining balance so you don't have to worry about remembering, I will also be liaising with the florist and or wedding planner (if applicable), the venue wedding coordinator and anyone else that will ensure a smooth transition on the day.
Lastly The Big Day!!
The day of your wedding I deliver your cake along with a flavour sheet for the kitchen.
I set up the cake, style it as planned and add any last finishing touches. The cake then awaits its big moment to be cut and enjoyed by all!
​
THE PROCESS
Every cake I create is designed to the specification of the client, therefore I unfortunately cannot provide a set price list.
I will however with your help design you a cake that will reflect your style and theme and as such the time and materials used will have baring on the overall price.
I do understand that 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 of your cake will depend on the size, the detailing such as sugar, wafer or fresh flowers, mouldings, piping etc and does not include delivery cost.
The price guide is based on round tiers with a ganache coating and a crisp white fondant covering with modern sharp edges. I also offer more rustic ganache covered semi naked cakes.
PRICE GUIDE
2-tier wedding cakes from £450
(average investment (£500-£600)
3-tier wedding cake from £600
(average investment ££650-£900)
4-tier wedding cake from £800
(average investment £900-£1200)
5 tier wedding cakes from £1100
(average investment £1300 + £2000

Happy so far? for a more bespoke quote or a discovery call to discuss your ideas in more detail.
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!
Twenty-Twenty Media Group
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.
