THE PROCESS
Booking a wedding cake is so much more than just choosing your design and flavours, although the latter is rather fun! It's about working alongside and putting your trust in someone to create a work of art that represents you both as a couple, and that compliments your wedding day perfectly, as well as tasting exceptional.
From the moment you catch a glimpse of one of my cakes right up until your cake is sat pride of place at the venue, I endeavour to help you throughout the whole process ensuring you can well...have your cake and then eat it!
Take a look below at the step by step process of how things work when you enquire about your wedding cake with me.
HOW IT WORKS
As soon as you have booked your venue it is best to get in touch to check my availability. Dates can book up quickly, especially popular ones such as bank holidays, and as it is just myself running the show, I do limit the number of cakes I make each week to ensure I can give each one the love and attention it deserves.
If you like my work and know you would like to book me to make your wedding cake, then you can secure your date with a non-refundable deposit of £100 and we can finalise the design of your wedding cake at a later date. Otherwise, have a little read of the steps below on how the process usually works.
STEP ONE
Enquire & secure your date
Once I’ve received your initial enquiry and confirmed availability, I’ll put together a rough quote based on your ideas, number of servings and venue. At this point, the creative cogs will already be whirring away, dreaming up ways to turn your vision into your perfect cake.
If the quote aligns with your budget and you’d like to go ahead, your date can be secured with a £100 deposit. You’ll also gain access to your personal online portal, where everything cake-related will live from start to finish.
STEP TWO
Design & consultation
Depending on how far away your wedding is, I’ll ask you to send as much inspiration and information as possible before booking in a video consultation. This gives me time to really immerse myself in your style and ideas.
During our call, we’ll chat through your inspiration, cake design, set-up and timings for the day. After the consultation, I’ll create digital cake sketches, bringing both your ideas and mine to life so you can visualise the design and choose your final look.
STEP THREE
The best bit… cake tasting
Between November and March, you’ll have the opportunity to order a box of tasters, available for collection or delivery straight to your door.
You can choose any six flavours from my menu to help decide which flavours will feature in each tier of your cake. This is, without a doubt, everyone’s favourite part of the process.
STEP FOUR
Final details & delivery
Around one month before your wedding, I’ll be in touch for a final run-through to make sure every detail is just right. This is also when the remaining balance is due.
In the lead-up to the big day, I’ll coordinate with your venue and other suppliers to ensure your cake is delivered and set up beautifully - so it’s one less thing for you to think about.
