When should I choose my cake?

It is responsible to book the services of your cake designer as early as possible, especially if you are considering an unusual design. The final design can then be chosen at your leisure once your order is booked

How do I choose which style?

First consider the look you want to achieve, whether traditional, quirky, elegant or a show-stopping centre piece. Once you have chosen how it should look, consider what flavor cake you would like inside. Discuss with your cake designer any practicalities that may affect your choice, and ways to overcome them.

Can I have different flavors inside each tier?

Absolutely, as the icing hides what is inside, so the tiers will still look the same. You may find that a number of guests will want to try each of the flavors, so we would advise against more than two options. Each tier is supported on dowels, so there is no risk of a cake sinking.

What size cake will I need?

Our advice is to choose the number of tiers that will look good and fit within your budget. Please use the chart below for generous portions of sponge cake, remembering it is usual to cut slightly larger slices for desert portions.

Can I have fresh cream in the cake?

Most wedding cakes are on display for several hours in a warm room and this
is not a safe environment for cream. By all means serve cream with the cake; chocolate cake served with bowls of ripe strawberries and jugs of fresh cream make a wonderful dessert.

Can guests with food allergies be catered for?

Cakes can be made for most food allergies but there is always a compromise on quality, so it is unusual to supply gluten, egg, dairy or sugar free cakes unless it is the bride or groom with the food intolerance.

Does a specialist need to set up my cake?

Generally cakes are supplied with all of the dowels, pillars and flowers already in place, so that the tiers simply need to be taken from their boxes and placed on the tier below. Individual or miniature cakes need a small degree of artistic skill to arrange the cakes onto the stands.
