Once you have set your wedding date, get in touch to check availability.\u00a0 Your wedding cake is important to me, and I want you give all of my attention, so I don\u2019t take on more than two wedding cakes each week.\u00a0 It is best to email me or use the contact form on the website.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n I can establish your basic requirements at this point and provide you with an initial quote.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” admin_label=”Cost and budget” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=”Hand baked” text_orientation=”center” content_max_width=”75%” admin_label=”Cost & Budget” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”Satisfy||||||||” title_text_align=”center” title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font_size=”35px” content_font=”Open Sans||||||||” content_text_align=”center” content_text_color=”#000000″ width=”75%” max_width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”377px” height=”475px” max_height=”475px” custom_padding=”0px||68px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n There is really no answer to the question of how much a wedding cake costs! Every cake maker will charge differently and obviously, the cost will depend on how large your cake is and the style and complexity of the design which you settle upon.<\/p>\n A simple semi naked cake will be less expensive than a multi-tiered fondant covered cake adorned with sugar flowers.<\/p>\n As a guide, my three tier wedding cakes start from \u00a3300.<\/p>\n A couple\u2019s wedding cake budget will depend upon how important the cake is to them. If you are choosing to have a wedding cake simply because \u2018you feel that you should have a cake as your guests expect it\u2019 then you are less likely to want to have it use up a large proportion of your wedding budget. If however, your cake is an integral part of your wedding and it is important to you that it looks sensational and is an integral part of the wedding meal, then you are likely to be willing to spend a larger proportion of your budget on it.<\/p>\n Whichever of these best describes you, I look forward to planning your cake with you and ensuring that you have the most amazing and delicious cake, tailored to your budget. I am happy to provide a no obligation quote for you as you start your cake journey.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” admin_label=”Cakes

cake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you are serving the cake with coffee or champagne at the end of the meal, you will probably require smaller pieces than if you are serving it as a dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n

that you are able to select a different flavour for each tier, should you wish.<\/span><\/p>\n There is a list of flavours in the Flavour section of my website and I will be happy to discuss the

venue.\u00a0 I will deliver your cake to your venue on the morning of the wedding and assemble it in situ, adding flowers and decorations as appropriate.\u00a0 This means that your cake is set up as I envisaged it and that the flowers or decorations are in the correct place and I can leave knowing that I am 100% happy with how it looks and that your wedding co-ordinator knows if there are any elements which are not edible or need to be removed prior to serving.<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n Most venues provide a cake stand and cake knife, however, I have a small selection of cake stands which you would be welcome to use should you prefer.\u00a0 I just ask that these are returned to me in the week after the wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section

your wedding theme.\u00a0 I am happy to source flowers locally, however, if you would like the flowers on your cake to match those being used in the wedding displays and bride\u2019s bouquet, then I can liaise with your florist and arrange for some flowers to be set aside for the cake.<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n Please bear in mind that not all flowers are edible or safe to use on cakes, so do check

flowers can be made in any colour to match your theme and can provide an alternative to fresh flowers if a chosen bloom is not in season at the time of your wedding or is not available in the colour you are looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n \n It is worth noting that sugar flowers can work out more expensive than using fresh flowers as the work is detailed even an arrangement of two or three flowers can take many hours to create.\u00a0 However, if stored properly, sugar flowers can be a lasting keepsake from your wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are happy with this, then we can arrange to meet and discuss your wedding cake in full detail and finalise the design.\u00a0 This is also an opportunity to have a cake tasting session in order for you to try out your flavour choices.\u00a0 I usually provide a selection of three flavours of cake \u2013 and a cup of tea or coffee, naturally!<\/span><\/p>\n
If you are happy to go ahead at this point, I ask that you pay a deposit to secure a place in my diary for your chosen date.<\/span><\/p>\n
I will contact you again in the weeks leading up to your wedding date just to check that there are no changes to the design\/timings of the day etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
I will begin the cake making process in the week leading up to your wedding day and will deliver the cake to your venue on the morning of the wedding to set it up in situ.\u00a0 All you have to do at this point is enjoy your day and eat your cake!<\/span><\/p>\n
I base my recommendations on the cake being cut in to 2\u201d x 1\u201d slices.\u00a0 I make my cakes with three layers per tier, so this is a fairly large serving which could be reduced to 1\u201d x 1\u201d if you require smaller portions.<\/span><\/p>\n
