The Process
As a one-woman business I only take on a limited amount of commissions per week to ensure that I give each and every cake the time and care it deserves.
When you initially get in touch I can give you a guide price and make suggestions on the size of cake required to serve your guest numbers. Your booking is confirmed in my diary after the completion of a booking form alongside a £150 deposit. Once confirmed you will be invited to an exclusive consultation to discuss your wedding cake and try lots of my delicious flavours. From the consultation, I will produce your cake package & your cake design as well as a detailed quote.
1 month before your wedding I will run through the details of your cake to ensure there are no changes and the balance of your cake is then due.
During your wedding week, behind the scenes I liaise with your venue to discuss delivery and any other requests, speak to any other wedding suppliers involved with the cake such as your florist and keep a very careful watch on the weather forecasts as this may affect where a cake is set up and dictate delivery times.
On the day, I personally deliver and set up your cake to ensure it looks perfect and, in the lead up to your wedding I am always available to answer any queries.
Pricing
Each wedding cake is a bespoke design therefore individually priced. The final cost depends on the cake size, flavours and complexity of the design. Below is just a guide price to help you with budgeting.
All of our cakes from the smallest cupcake to largest of wedding cakes are baked using the finest ingredients, I work alongside many Dorset food producers to bring locally sourced ingredients to my bakes such as artisan curds and preserves and fresh free range eggs which are delivered on the day of baking from a local farm. The key is freshness and you can really taste the difference in my cakes.
Cupcakes – All of my cupcakes either have a filled centre or an addition such as fresh fruits or sauces swirled within the batter. From £3.50 each (minimum order of 12)
Novelty Cakes – My novelty cakes are hugely detailed with lots of handmade sugar work, not only will the top of the cake be decorated but the sides and cake board. Each novelty cake is a piece of art. From £100
Iced Tiered Wedding Cakes – My iced wedding cakes are made from indulgent sponge cake and fillings, then coated with a Belgian chocolate ganache before covering with an artisan fondant icing. From £450 for 3 tiers
Naked Cakes – Baked just hours before your wedding to ensure the freshest cake possible, decorated with berries, fruit and flowers. All the flowers are specially prepared and arranged on the cake by myself to ensure they are safe and look beautiful. From £350 for 3 tiers
Semi Naked Cakes – With 2 thin layers of butter cream skimmed around your cake just allowing the sponge cake to peek through. From £425 for 3 tiers
Dessert Tables – A real treat for your guests, dessert tables really inspire conversation around your wedding cake. Price on request
Stand and Prop Hire – From £20 plus a refundable deposit
