The Design Experience
My approach to cake design is all about YOU!
I work collaboratively with you to create a unique masterpiece that stands out as a work of art inspired by your love story.
I am a ‘details’ person which is a great skill to have when working with couples at the design stage. This allows me to tune into what coupes want there to be- usually this is more than just being a dessert. Couples who choose to work with me want to capture a specific vision which becomes the focal point of their special day.
Working closely with couples helps me to understand their story, style, preferences, and overall wedding theme. By listening to their ideas and incorporating my own design expertise, we’re able to work together to create something completely original.
I understand that modern couples often have diverse and unique tastes, hence I offer a
wide range of flavours and cake options. From classic favourites to bold and trendy flavours. One of my goals is to satisfy every taste bud and create a sensory experience that you and your guests will remember.
Overall I am a firm believer that every part of the wedding preparations should be exciting, inspiring and enjoyable- this includes the all-important cake! I strive to make the cake design process a simple, calm and enjoyable environment in order to spark inspiration and creativity, allowing me and you to design that all important focal, edible masterpiece.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
01
Check my availability
Once you’ve chosen a date and secured a venue, it’s a good idea to get in touch and check my availability. To ensure I give every cake the love and attention it needs I do limit my wedding cake orders per week, which means I can get booked up quickly on popular dates such as summer months and bank holiday weekends.
You can send me an email or complete
my wedding cake enquire form to check my availability. It will ask you a few details about your visions and inspirations for your wedding cake. Whether you have a clear vision or or haven’t got a design in mind at all , don’t worry I just need basic information at this stage, we can iron out the finer details at the consultation stage.
02
Consultation
A £150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date. This amount will be deducted from the total cost of the cake.
Next approximately 3-6 months before your wedding date I will arrange a suitable time for your design consultation. The meeting will be held virtually on Zoom and it’s an opportunity to discuss the finer details- your dream wedding, venue features, Styling, stationery, lighting, Florals, colours and most importantly your story
I send out my wedding cake tasting boxes twice a year in February and in October, so if you’ve already tasted my cake flavours we can decide on which ones you would like or if you haven’t yet tried them, I will arrange to send my tasting box by post.

03
The Cake Sketch
Once the details have been finalised, I will begin working on a digital sketch so that you can visualise your wedding cake along with a more accurate quote. This also give us an opportunity to tweak the design until you are completely happy with it.
Lastly, we can start thinking about the set up for your cake, styling your cake is just as important as the cake itself and I have a range of cake stands, height extenders and props available for you to hire. This will further enhance your cake to the be the show stopping masterpiece is deserves.
04
Your dream wedding cake
The countdown begins, around 4 weeks before your wedding I will be in touch to confirm all the finer details. This is also when the final balance is due.
The week of your wedding I will begin liaising with your venue to arrange the delivery and setup of the cake. I will contact your florist and stylist to ensure everything works together seamlessly.
Then, on your wedding day I will arrive at your venue at the agreed time and will set-up your wedding cake discreetly.
All allergen and cake and cutting information will be handed to your catering team or venue
co-ordinator, allowing you to sit back, relax and enjoy your big day.
