Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book our wedding cake?
We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your wedding date, particularly during peak wedding season. Most couples book between 6–12 months in advance.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, consultations are available to discuss your design, colour palette, inspiration and wedding styling in more detail.
Do you offer tasting boxes?
Yes, tasting boxes are available throughout the year and include a selection of signature flavours.
How much cake will I need?
The size of your wedding cake will largely depend on how you plan to serve it.
Standard wedding portions are approximately 1" x 1" x 5–6" tall, whilst dessert portions are approximately 1" x 2" x 5–6" tall.
For evening service, we typically recommend catering for around 75–80% of your guest count, as not all guests will choose to have cake.
For larger weddings, additional portions can also be provided through discreet cutting cakes prepared for kitchen service. This allows you to maintain a smaller display cake whilst still catering comfortably for higher guest numbers.
Alternatively, if you would like a larger statement cake without requiring additional servings, faux tiers can be incorporated into the design. These tiers are finished to the same high standard as real cake tiers and offer a modest reduction in cost, though much of the investment in a wedding cake reflects the artistry, craftsmanship and time involved in the decoration and design process.
Will you deliver our wedding cake?
Yes, all cakes are personally delivered and professionally set up by us. Wedding cakes require a great deal of care and expertise when transporting and assembling, particularly larger designs or cakes featuring intricate sugar florals and structural elements.
Where required, cakes will be assembled on site to ensure the highest standard of presentation and finish. Delivery and setup fees are calculated based on the venue location and the time required for installation.
Can I choose different flavours for each tier?
Absolutely! Lots of couples opt to have different flavours on different tiers.
