FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
A few of our most popular questions...
Do you deliver the cake?
All wedding cakes are delivered and set up at your venue to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. This is included in your total price within 20 miles from our location. Further distances, and delivery into London, will have a further charge per additional mile.
Celebration cakes, cupcakes and other items are to be collected, however we can arrange delivery upon request.
How far in advance do we need to book?
Ideally as soon as possible so that you secure your date. You don't have to know exactly what you want at this stage as we can finalise the finer details later. People tend to book their wedding cakes around 12 months in advance but if yours is sooner, drop us a line as we may have availability on your date.
Celebration cakes are usually booked around a month in advance, but again get in touch as we may be able to take your booking.
Can we have more than one flavour?
Of course! You can have a different flavour for each tier of your wedding cake, although you may want to take into consideration what you choose if your sponge is going to be visible, We have a variety of flavours to choose from our 'Prices/Flavours' page, or if you have your own ideas then let us know!
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Surrey, and also cover areas such as Berkshire, Middlesex, Hampshire, Sussex and Buckinghamshire. We have been known to go as far afield as Newcastle so if your venue is in a different location, chat to us and we will see if it is possible.
How much is the deposit?
We ask for a 25% deposit on wedding cakes to secure your date. At this point you do not need to know all the finer details of your cake as these can often change as you start planning your wedding. We ask for your final design and the total balance, 2 weeks before your wedding day so that we have time to order your supplies. You are welcome to pay this in one final payment, or in instalments throughout the build up to your wedding - whatever is easier for you!
Celebration cakes, and other items, require a 50% deposit, and the full payment 2 weeks before the event date.
Do you hire cake stands?
Yes we do. We have a variety of stands available to suit different styles of cakes. We charge £25 to hire the stand with a £50 security deposit. Once the stand is returned to us in the same condition as it was rented, you will receive this deposit back to you. You are welcome to return it in person or via a secure postal service that we agree.
