The Process
Step 1
Once you have secured your venue, reach out to me to confirm my availability for your desired date. To ensure that your cake receives the undivided attention it deserves, I limit myself to a maximum of two wedding cake orders per week. It is highly recommended to book your slot 12-18 months in advance, especially during the peak season from April to September.
If you are uncertain about the design of your cake at this stage, there is no need to worry as this is a common occurrence. Many of my clients change their minds multiple times before their consultation. Based on your chosen date, venue, and guest count, I can provide you with a rough estimate. However, since each cake is unique, an exact quote can only be given after our design consultation.
To secure your date, a non-refundable deposit of £100 is required. Once this is done, you can relax knowing that your date is reserved, allowing you to focus on the rest of your wedding planning.
Step 2
Once you have confirmed your reservation with a deposit, you can finally take a breather! The next step is where the real fun begins. Approximately 3 months before your wedding day, I will reach out to you to schedule an online chat or video appointment. During this meeting, we will discuss the final design of your dream cake. It's important to keep in mind that your ideas and preferences may evolve throughout the wedding planning process. Therefore, it's best to have your colour scheme, floral arrangements, and overall decor/style finalised before deciding on the cake design.
Additionally, I will also contact you to arrange a delightful tasting session. Trust me when I say that this will be the most challenging decision you'll have to make. To ensure a smooth experience, I offer these tastings at specific times throughout the year, avoiding the busy summer months. This will give you ample time to make a well-informed decision. Please note that there is a £35 fee per box of samples, along with next day delivery for your convenience.
Step 3
Let's begin envisioning the perfect presentation for your cake. The way you adorn your cake holds equal significance to the cake itself, and I offer a diverse selection of stands, plinths, and other props that can be rented. Additionally, I will collaborate with your stylist to guarantee that your cake becomes the focal point of your reception.
Step 4
Leading up to the big day, I will be working diligently behind the scenes, coordinating with your florist, stylist, and venue to ensure everything is perfectly aligned for the creation of your dream wedding cake.
Approximately one month before your wedding, I will reach out to you to go over all the intricate details, confirming the design, flavors, timings, and any other important aspects. It is during this time that the remaining balance will also be due.
Once that is taken care of, all that's left for you to do is sit back, relax, and fully immerse yourself in the joy of your wedding day... and of course, indulge in a delectable slice of cake!
