I take bookings for wedding cakes up to 18 months in advance. I would recommend at least 3-6 months in advance at the latest. Sometimes I can accommodate last minute requests but it all depends on my availability.

Yes, this is a great way to provide something for everyone depending on their tastes. It’s important to bear in mind that your bottom tier will provide the most portions so this should be the flavour you think will be the most popular.

I’m always happy to work with you to try and find ways to fit within your budget. If you let me know what your budget is from the start then I can design your cake to fit within that accordingly.

Yes of course you can, I often recommend my couples actually keep a tier for themselves to enjoy after the wedding as they don’t always get the chance to stop and enjoy it on the day. If you are planning to keep your top tier and freeze it for a future Christening or 1st Birthday I would recommend only doing this with a fruit cake and I will provide you with full freezing or storage instructions.

Of course, I love to do this because I get to be part of a family’s most special occasions from their wedding through to their 1st child’s Christening or 1st Birthday. I can only re-ice a fruit cake where I baked the original though. I’m afraid that if another baker or family member baked the original cake then I cannot decorate it for you. I will always inspect the condition of the cake first before icing it to ensure it has been stored correctly and is safe to eat.

Yes a dummy tier is a fake tier of cake that is iced to look like it is a real cake. It’s a great way of adding extra tiers and extra height to your cake without being stuck with leftover cake you don’t need. Perhaps your dream is a 5 tier cake but you only have 40 guests, a dummy tier is the perfect way to achieve this. Please note though that most of the cost with iced wedding cakes is in the decoration so while dummy tiers are cheaper than a real cake it’s not going to reduce the cost that significantly.

This is possible yes, however I wouldn’t recommend it. Some designs require assembly and final decorations applied on site at your venue so the best option is for me to set it up for you. If you do choose to collect I will provide you with care and set up instructions but I cannot take responsibility for the cake once it has left my premises.

I deliver wedding cakes across Hertfordshire, London, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Bedfordshire, Middlesex, Surrey & Oxfordshire. I can occasionally deliver further than this but as delivery is based on time and mileage this delivery cost could be significant for venues that are a long way outside my usual delivery zones.
