FAQS
Are your designs bespoke?
Absolutely! Each of my cakes is designed uniquely for the couple in mind and I work closely with you during the design process to create something truly bespoke. Sometimes a client has a very specific idea of what they'd like or may just throw in some ideas to help inspire a design, which is my dream scenario as I can let my creativity fly and design something completely bespoke. Either way, I will sketch up an idea as a starting point and then work with you to get to a final design that you’re completely happy with.
Where do you deliver?
I work from my kitchen based in Finmere, Buckinghamshire, and also deliver to the neighbouring counties of Oxfordshire (including The Cotswolds), Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire, as well as West London. Delivery is free within 10 miles of Finmere and any further distances are charged at 50p per mile for a round trip. Please note that delivery of wedding cakes is highly recommended as it includes set-up of the cake at your venue, which is much less stressful for you! I will often travel with the cake in separate tiers and assemble it in situ, adding the decoration and finishing touches once stacked.
What is your consultation process?
The first step is to get in touch to check availability, subject to which we can schedule a consultation and tasting to discuss your requirements and chat further about your cake design. You can choose four flavours to try from my menu and consultations are charged at £40, which is deducted from the cost of your cake if you proceed with a booking. I also offer tasters by post followed by a phone or video consultation so that you can enjoy the experience from the comfort of your own home. Shortly after your consultation, I will sketch a colour design for you along with a quotation. The design can be amended until you’re completely happy with it and if you wish to proceed, a non-refundable deposit of £150, which will be deducted from the final cost, will secure your date and the balance will be due 4 weeks before your big day.
Do you cater for allergies?
I can cater for gluten free but please be aware that gluten products are produced in my kitchen so I cannot guarantee that cakes have not come into contact with substances that may cause an allergic reaction. That goes for nuts too. Please be aware that I do not offer vegan, dairy free or egg free cakes.
How far in advance should I book my wedding cake?
Ideally, I would need as much notice as possible as I am unable to hold dates without a booking fee, but I would suggest at least 6-9 months’ notice (12 months for peak season dates) is required for wedding cakes. I do limit the amount of orders I take, as I like to give each cake the attention and time it deserves so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. If you do need a last-minute cake then do contact me, I might be able to fit you in!
