How much will my cake cost?
All my cakes are bespoke so prices vary depending on the design. A minimum spend of £500 (excluding delivery and stand hire) for a multi-tiered wedding cake and £300 (excluding packaging and stand hire) for a single-tier wedding cake applies. You’ll find a price guide and average prices on my Prices page.
How far ahead should I book?
Usually, if you’re marrying in peak wedding season (May to October) it’s best to get in touch 9 to 15 months before your wedding date. Outside of peak wedding season 7 to 9 months ahead is usually sufficient. For more information please see my Service page.
Could I taste some cake samples?
Yes, of course! For wedding cakes of three tiers (70 portions) and over I offer a face-to-face consultation to include taste samples once you have secured your date with me.
Could I have fresh flowers on my cake?
Sorry, no, I don’t use fresh flowers on any of my cakes. All the designs in my cake portfolio feature handcrafted sugar flowers. Delicate sugar flowers and foliage are my speciality which I create in my signature style bespoke to you.
A relative is baking my cake, could you decorate it?
Whilst I appreciate this is a lovely sentiment, unfortunately not. From a Health and Safety perspective I cannot guarantee to you or your guests what the cake contains or prove where the ingredients were sourced. Should there be any problems with the cake it could pose a risk to my reputation and that of my business. However, I do offer either sugar flowers for collection or ‘forever flowers’ by post for you to decorate your own cake. See my Flower designs portfolio for more details of both options.
Could I have a variety of flavours?
Yes, of course – a different flavour per tier if you wish! For my menu of 17 flavours please see the Taste page.
Do you make novelty wedding cakes?
Sorry, I don’t. Floral design with intricate hand piping is my signature style. Your wedding cake is important so it’s essential to choose a designer you are ‘in tune’ with. To see if my style is a good fit for you please feel free to browse my Wedding cakes portfolio.
Do you make birthday cakes?
Yes! I offer bespoke milestone birthday cakes, Christenings/naming ceremony cakes and anniversary cakes with a minimum spend of £150. Also, for those smaller, but special, days with your loved ones my vintage cakes Lambeth Love ready-to-order range is available from £115.
Could I collect my cake?
For cakes of three tiers and over I recommend opting for my delivery service but for smaller cakes there is the option to collect by prior appointment. I will provide full, written, transportation instructions.
I'd like to keep my sugar flowers, how do I go about this?
Simply ask your venue to carefully remove your sugar flower arrangement(s) prior to cutting your cake and place them in the box and protective biodegradable packaging I provide. You may also wish to add silica sachets to the box to divert any moisture away from your flowers. Alternatively, if you’d like to display them choose a location away from sources of moisture, heat and sunlight, ideally in a cabinet or a display box to protect them from dust. Stored or displayed correctly your sugar flowers will last indefinitely and serve as a lovely memento of your special day!
Do you make wedding or party favours?
Yes, I offer bespoke hand piped iced biscuits. See my Taste and Prices pages, Wedding cakes portfolio and Iced biscuit favours blog post.
