Frequently asked questions

How much should I budget for my wedding cake?

Each cake is completely bespoke so they all vary in price. Size and design have a big effect on this. Please see my price guide for starting prices.
What areas do you cover?

I deliver cakes in Essex, Hertfordshire and London subject to a delivery fee. If it's anywhere further a field please feel free to chat to me about it.
How far in advance do I have to book my cake?

In order to keep a personalised, bespoke service, I only take on a certain amount of weddings per month so it's best to book your cake 9-12 months in advance but it's always worth checking availability if your date is sooner than that.
What size cake do I need?

This depends on the number of guests you have at your wedding in the day and evening combined. Have a look at my price guide to compare different size cakes with the amount of servings they have. My cake servings are based on wedding finger portions (1" x 1" x 5") but if you wanted dessert portions (1" x 2" x 5") then we can discuss this at the time of enquiry.
How do I choose the design of my wedding cake?

If you have seen any photos of cakes you like on pinterest, instagram or in magazines, please feel free to send these to me. They will give me an idea of the styles you like. Each cake is bespoke to each of our clients so during your consultation we can discuss design ideas and I will offer suggestions. That is my job so please never worry if you don't know where to start. We will create a design together that will be a beautiful centre piece on your big day. If you have any colour swatches or stationary proofs it's also worth bringing these to your consulation.
Do you make wedding favours?

Yes! I would love to discuss making delicious sugar cookies for your wedding favours. They can be designed to match your cake / theme and even be personalised. Please mention your interest at the time of enquiry and we can discuss this further. I have some examples in our gallery so please take a look.
Do you cater for allergies?

I am happy to create you a dairy-free, gluten-free or vegan cake but please be aware all cakes are made in a kitchen which uses Wheat, Gluten, Eggs, Milk, Sulphites & Nuts so I cannot guarantee your cake is 100% allergen free. Please discuss with me at the time of enquiry.
