Choosing your wedding cake shouldn’t feel complicated or overwhelming.
I’ll guide you through the process, helping you shape your ideas into something that feels right for your day, your venue and your style. Whether you have a clear vision or you’re starting from scratch, we’ll create something that feels personal and considered.
Every cake is made fresh to order, using quality ingredients and flavour combinations designed to be enjoyed, not just admired.
Pricing
Due to the nature of my bespoke designs, each cake is priced individually based on their complexity of design and a number of other factors we will discuss during the cake consultation including:
Size (number of tiers, number of portions required, extra tall tiers)
Shape (round, square or hexagonal)
If your cake is being served as dessert or in the evening
The use of sugar/wafer paper flowers or fresh flowers, ruffles etc.
The below pricing guide is based on round tiers covered in ganache and a sugar paste finish. Simple buttercream cakes are also available. Decorations such as sugar flowers, intricate stencilling, ruffles, hand-painted elements etc will add additional cost. Delivery is not included.
Please note that I have a minimum spend of £650 for peak wedding season which can include a smaller cake and edible wedding favours as gifts for your guests or a dessert table (excludes delivery).
Here’s some useful information on pricing:
-
2-tier wedding cakes from £550 (average investment £600-£800)
3-tier wedding cake from £750 (average investment £800-1200)
4-tier wedding cake from £1000 (average investment £1200-£1600)
5 tier wedding cakes from £1400 (average investment £1500-£2500)
-
a wedding portion is defined as 1" x 1" x 5-6" tall and a dessert portion is 1" x 2" x 5-6" tall.
-
my recommendation is to allow for around 70-80% of your guest numbers to have a slice of cake as not everyone will want one.
-
cutting cakes can be provided if you require additional portions or if you would prefer a smaller cake but to cater for larger numbers.
-
consider replacing real cake tiers with artificial 'faux' tiers should you prefer a big cake but not as many portions. There is a slight cost reduction with this option but please note that a significant proportion of the price of your cake is for the decorating time.
-
Set-up at the venue is generally between 1 -1.5 hours and travel is charged at £0.50 per mile plus travel time at £15.00 per hour return from my studio in Essex. Both will be included in your quotation.
Design Consulations
Planning your wedding day is such a wonderful time, and you should feel truly special throughout the journey without ever feeling overwhelmed.
My process is designed to be straightforward and enjoyable. I’ll guide you through the options, helping you discover what you love (and perhaps what you don’t!), so that together we can design a cake that truly reflects you as a couple and complements the style of your special day.
-
Once you’ve confirmed your wedding date and venue, it’s the perfect time to get in touch.
The first step is simply to check my availability for your wedding date. You can contact me by email or by completing the enquiry form on my website. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours.
If I’m available for your date, I’ll send you a few follow-up questions to help me understand more about your wedding day including the style and theme of your celebration, the type of cake design you’re drawn to, and the size and location of your venue.
Using this information, I’ll provide you with an initial price guide based on your guest numbers, cake size, and the style of cake you have in mind.

If you would like to move forward and secure your wedding date, this can be done with a £200 non-refundable booking fee. Once your booking is confirmed you will receive a tasting box sample of four of my pre-selected most requested flavours and two Madagascan vanilla sugar cookies which are perfect as wedding favours and can be made to compliment your wedding cake. At this time you will also be invited to a design consultation via Zoom. This relaxed video consultation gives us the opportunity to talk through the details of your wedding and explore ideas for your cake.
During the consultation we will discuss elements such as flavour options and recommendations, your colour palette, textures, and any design features you would like to incorporate. We will also consider how the cake will be styled and displayed within your venue to ensure it complements the overall look and feel of your day.
Following our discussion, I will create a selection of digital design sketches inspired by the ideas we have explored. These will be shared with you along with a personalised quotation based on the proposed designs.

Around eight weeks before your wedding, I will invite you to schedule a call with me to confirm the final details of your cake. During this conversation we will review the design, flavours, and any finishing touches to ensure everything is exactly as planned. This is also when the remaining balance for your cake will be due.
In the week leading up to your wedding, I will liaise directly with your venue co-ordinator or wedding planner to confirm delivery and set-up arrangements. If your cake includes fresh flowers, I will also coordinate with your florist to ensure the blooms complement your cake design perfectly.
On your wedding day, I will arrive at your venue at the agreed time to deliver and carefully set up your finished cake. The cake will be styled discreetly and professionally, with any additional table styling arranged if required. All relevant allergen information, along with cake cutting and serving guidance, will be provided to your catering team or venue co-ordinator. Please note that not all flowers and foliage are food safe and suitable for use with cakes, this can be discussed with yourselves and your florist.
From that point on, you can simply relax and enjoy your special day, knowing that everything has been taken care of.
Wedding cakes are extremely delicate and require careful handling during transportation. For this reason, all tiered wedding cakes are personally delivered and professionally set up by me at your venue on the day of your wedding. This ensures that your cake arrives safely and is assembled and presented exactly as intended.
I also offer a cake table styling service should you wish to enhance the presentation of your cake even further. Thoughtful styling can help create a beautiful focal point within your venue, ensuring your cake looks truly stunning and perfectly complements the overall aesthetic of your wedding day.
