Frequently asked questions
Yes, of course, this is one of the undeniably best bits of planning! I offer cake sample boxes, which are mailed to your home address, with a selection of five delicious flavours to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. The price for cake sample boxes is £45, including postage and packaging, this amount will be deducted from your deposit when you book your wedding date in my diary.
The earlier, the better. A £150 initial non-refundable payment is required to confirm your booking, so it’s a good idea to get in touch as soon as possible, and we can finalise the details closer to the time if necessary. 3 months is the minimum notice, with 6–12 months preferable to allow enough time for recipe and design development. As I only take on a handful of commissions, popular dates will get booked up in advance. The best thing is to get in touch to check availability.
During your Zoom consultation, we will discuss everything from you and your partner’s likes and dislikes to how you met and your journey to your special day. Inspiration comes from so many sources, and it is my expertise that pulls it together to create your bespoke wedding cake design. Elements in your floral arrangements, venue, stationery, or wedding gown details can all influence the final creation.
The nature of a bespoke service means that every last detail is designed just for you. This includes the price. You’ll receive a full quote following our consultation, but I can usually give you an approximate total once we’ve had a chat and you’ve told me the essential info, such as the date, number of guests, and style you love. The price is based on the size of the cake and the time taken to create your design. I have a minimum order of £450.
My cake studio is in Bristol, but I travel far and wide for my couples. For me, it is more important to have a mutual affinity with my couples and their wedding cake design than to restrict myself to physical boundaries. I have venues in Bristol, where I am a preferred supplier, and often create cakes for couples in London venues. I have created many cakes that have travelled further afield, including Scotland. Normally, delivery on the day of your wedding is charged at 50 pence per mile return trip, although there are some exceptions.
Absolutely. I can adapt recipes for many dietary needs, and dessert tables are a particularly great option because you can have a variety of sweet treats to suit everyone. Please note that although every care is taken, these cakes and patisseries would be created in a kitchen where gluten, nuts and other allergens are used, so I can’t guarantee against traces of these in your products.
Yes, I hand deliver every wedding cake and painstakingly set everything up to ensure it looks its absolute best. My designs often include delicate detailing that just isn’t suitable for collection, so I much prefer to take the responsibility, leaving you to relax on your big day.
I have a beautiful collection of cake stands available to hire which will stylishly display your wedding cake or dessert table. I can advise which ones will work best with your design. A refundable safety deposit is required on all hire items, and it is your responsibility to return your items within 3 days of your wedding date, in their original condition. I also have a large range of other items which can also be hired to style your entire cake table.
