FAQ
Where do I start in choosing a design for my wedding cake?
A good idea is to incorporate a theme, colours or flowers into the cake which is in keeping with what you might already be doing. Researching cakes on the internet and in magazines will give you some inspiration, unfortunately the list of designs is endless and it can easily get too much so keep your ideas simple and we can do the rest.
How big does my cake need to be?
The number of guests usually determines the size of the cake however just because you have a small wedding doesn’t mean you have to have a small cake and visa versa. At the end of the day its up to you. See our price guide for portion sizes.
Can I have different flavours in my wedding cake?
Wedding cakes of two or more tiers can have a different flavour on each tier ie four tiers four flavours
How much should I spend?
