WEDDING CAKE ORDERING PROCESS
A simple, creative and delicious process.
Taste some cake and chat to me about amazing design ideas then leave the rest to me.
Feel confident in the knowledge that I will personally guide you through the whole process from your initial enquiry through to delivery on your wedding day.
STEP 1
Check the availability of your wedding date
Please submit an enquiry to see if your wedding date is available and tell me a bit about your wedding and ideal cake style.
I recommend you book your wedding cake at least 9-12 months prior to your wedding to guarantee availability of your date.
I aim respond to you within 24 hours and provide an initial quote.
STEP 2
Secure your date with a deposit
If you're date is available and you are happy with your estimate quote I ask for a £100 non-refundable deposit to secure your wedding date in my diary. You will also receive a copy of my terms and conditions to take a look through.
Feel confident that your date is now booked and the tasting, planning and design can now begin!
STEP 3
Wedding cake tasting
Surely the best bit...
You'll receive a complimentary wedding cake tasting box with five delicious pre-chosen flavours and some French macarons or handmade truffles to sample in the comfort of your home.
If you haven't yet booked your date with me you are welcome to purchase one of my tasting boxes online for £35. Do check availability of your wedding date first.
STEP 4
Wedding cake design
Let's imagine your perfect cake.
We will then schedule a convenient time for a Zoom consultation where together we will discuss in detail design ideas, cake size and flavours as well as the presentation of your cake.
You will receive an online questionnaire to fill out beforehand to share relevant logistics of your day and suppliers.
Afterwards I will send you a digital sketch of your wedding cake to approve (and keep) and alongside this create a mood board to capture the colour, design, textures and style elements of your wedding cake.
STEP 5
Little details
Several months before your wedding I will contact your wedding venue to arrange delivery times. I will also liaise with any relevant suppliers such as your planner, stylist or florist. Should you be having florals on your cake I will discuss these with your florist and dress the cake on the day at the venue.
Six weeks before your wedding date I will be in touch to confirm all the details with you. At this point the balance of your wedding cake will be due which you will receive as an invoice. This will include the deduction of your deposit.
STEP 6
Delivery
Enjoy your wedding day preparations while behind the scenes and before the arrival of your guests, I deliver you wedding cake.
If you are hiring one of my cake stands I will bring this with me and present your cake beautifully in the chosen location.
A cake cutting guide and allergen chart will also be left with your caters.
