Your cake
My cakes start from £50 for a basic cake, carved cakes start from £90 and wedding cakes start from £120….
I am unable to secure a date in my dairy for a cake unless a 50% non-refundable deposit is paid.
The design of your cake…
There is a lot of thought and imagination that goes into designing a cake;
When I am contacted about making a cake, there are some very specific questions that are integral in turning the cake that is in your imagination into reality through me.
There are two useful questions to ask yourself before you start designing your cake, they are;
-
How much are you prepared to spend on your cake?
-
How many guests has the cake got to serve?
Once you have decided on the above, it helps to have a basic idea of the design of your cake. Things to bear in mind are;
-
The shape of your cake…. Square, round, hexagonal, heart shaped etc.
-
What type of cake do you want it to be… Sponge or fruit or a combination ie: a tier of each.
- What filling and covering do you want?
- What decorations do you want on the cake?
-
Do you want tiers or a flat cake.
-
If you want tiers how do you want them arranged… stacked directly on top of each other, do you want pillars, columns or a stand.
-
Do you want your cake to match the theme of your occasion if you have one: the same colours, or using the same flowers (it is also very useful if you can provide details or pictures of these to me to match).
Have a look at magazines and photos on the internet, have you seen something you really like that you would like to incorporate into your cake… Are there a few cakes that you like certain parts on each cake and would like to amalgamate into your own creation… The more information you have, the easier it will be to give you the cake of your dreams. Be as creative as you want.
But most of all enjoy designing your cake…
Things I need to know, to make your Bespoke Cake;
If you can already answer some of these, then great! If not… Please don’t worry, we can work together to discuss all of the below to create your unique cake…
This is a list of the information I will need from you in order to be able to start your quote and get an idea of the type of cake you want;
1) When’s it for and do you have a set budget?
2) Where does it need to be delivered to and when?
3) How many people does it need to feed?
4) What type of cake do you want? i.e. shape, covering, flavour, filling, arrangement, colours and decorations?
5) Any dietry requirements or allergies?
There may still be some additional questions I need to ask, but that will depend on the answers to the above.
