Wedding Cakes

Ideally organic edible flowers are best to decorate cakes as they are not toxic varieties of flowers nor are they covered in non food safe pesticides. If you want fresh florist flowers to decorate your cake then we will liaise with your florist directly to ensure non toxic varieties are being used and we will fix your flowers in place on the cake so as to ensure the cake remains safe to eat and is not penetrated by stems oozing sap into the food which can cause your guest breathing problems if ingested.

It is never too early to order a wedding cake, we take bookings up to 3 years in advance and the sooner you book the more chance you have of your favourite wedding suppliers being available for your wedding date. Most weekend dates from April to September get booked up a year in advance, but if you are getting married on a Wednesday in November then just a few weeks notice is likely to be fine as the date will probably not be in high demand. Contact us as soon as you have your wedding date to get your wedding cake booked into the diary so you can relax and then all the details can be discussed and arranged at leisure.

A wedding slice is 1inch by 1 inch by 5 inches (the height of each cake tier) so an average 3 tier cake comprising of a 5” diameter top tier, a 7” diameter middle tier and a 9” diameter base tier serves 120 wedding slices.

The price of a cake depends on the size, the icing, the decorations, how much time to create the sugar decorations and the delivery distance. Each cake is unique and created for every couple’s specific styles. The most cost effective cake style is a semi naked cake decorated with fresh fruits, whereas a fondant iced cake covered in hand made sugar flowers takes days of extra work and the price reflects the hours and materials involved.

Yes, it is high risk to travel with a stacked wedding cake as it can very easily be a disaster en route which is too much stress to give to anyone collecting such an important cake. We always deliver each wedding cake tier in their own sealed patisserie box and once safely in the venue we stack and secure the cake and add all the final decorations to ensure a perfect wedding cake every time. Delivery is charged at 50p per mile for the round trip from the cakery to each venue.

Yes, but so as to avoid any cross contamination during the slicing of the cake we would recommend an entire allergen free cake for a couple with food allergies so you can enjoy eating your wedding cake with full confidence. Guests are totally unaware of an allergen free cake as they still taste amazing. For your guests with allergies we recommend an individually boxed allergen free cupcake with their name and a list of the ingredients so they can enjoy some wedding cake safely.

Yes each tier of a wedding cake can be a totally different flavour. Every tier has a base board underneath the cake so they are not in contact so the flavours do not blend in anyway.
