Pricing
Each cake is unique in terms of design, size, decoration and flavour, which is why we don’t have set prices for our wedding cakes. You are most welcome to get in touch to let us know what you want, and we are happy to provide a no-obligation quote.
Wedding Cake Consultations
We offer you and your partner the opportunity to meet us for a one to one appointment, to sample our cakes and meet Izzy, our cake designer.
This is a great opportunity for you to tell us about your big day, discuss your theme, colours and styles and share any ideas you have had about your wedding cake. We can price up different options for designs you choose and advise you on what will work best for your big day.
Book a consultation
Please visit our cake consultation booking page to check available times and dates
Please remember to check if we cover your venue first. Cakes do not like to travel, the roads are bumpy and cakes are fragile. We try to keep all deliveries within 30 miles of the shop. If you’re unsure, please contact us before booking your consultation.
We will add new dates, so please check back regularly. Alternatively, get in touch with us and we can arrange a suitable appointment to meet with you.
Wedding Cake Samples
During a wedding cake consultation, we give you both a sample of our cakes. After all, what’s inside is just as important as the outside.
Please click here to see a list of our delicious flavours – you can choose up to six flavours you want to sample, or let us choose for you and you’ll get a surpise.
If you are not able to attend a consultation, we can do a take-away box of cakes. These need to be booked in advance, so please get in touch to discuss.
Wedding Fayres
We attend a number of local wedding fayres and showcase events throughout the year. These events are a great opportunity to meet local suppliers, see the venue and get some ideas and inspiration. If you’d like to meet us in a relaxed environment, ask us questions, see our cakes and get to know us, click the links below to find out more.

Wedding Cake Galleries
Looking to see some of our work? Need some ideas and inspiration? We have lots of galleries with photos of our previous cakes. If you cannot see what you’re after, don’t worry, we don’t only make these cakes, we’re happy to make any cake to your specifications.
Inspiration
We have created lots of blogs, full of ideas, hints, tips and inspiration, especially as there is lots of jargon and questions when it comes to cakes. What is a tier? What is quilting? Which flowers should I have? Browse through our blogs to learn more or scroll down to learn more:
Wedding Cake Jargon
We imagine it must be overwhelming when trying to decide on cakes, especially if you’re not sure what everything means. We’ve listed a few terms you’ll often come across, which hopefully, will help when it comes to booking your cake:
Tiers
These are the number of cakes stacked on top of each other. The majority of weddings cakes are two or three tiers. This is necessary to get enough portions to serve to your guests.
Layers
These are layers of sponge inside each cake. (Often confused with tiers). Although standard cakes have two layers of sponge, with a filling in the middle (e.g. jam and buttercream) most wedding cakes contain three layers of sponge. Generally this gives a slightly larger portion and makes the cake taller. The more layers of sponge you add, the taller the cake becomes.
Textures
Wedding cakes are a great opportunity to add some style and creativity to your cake to turn it into a piece of edible art. We can create textures using icing and other edible items such as cake lace, and isomalt. You can go for the clean modern look and keep it plain and elegant, or you can add some texture in the form of ruffles or quilting to the fondant to create patterns and illusions. See our blog for more details
Buttercream
Buttercream is soft icing made from butter, sugar and other flavourings (such as vanilla, lemon or chocolate) it goes in between layers of sponge to hold them together. It is also the swirly bit at the top of cupcakes. In order to create a smooth finished cake it is also applied to the outside edge of the cake, underneath fondant. It can be used a as full cake covering, on semi-naked or ribbed buttercream cakes.
Sugarpaste
This is a soft white or coloured icing that is used to cover cakes. Sugarpaste can be super smooth or used to create textures as listed above. It is sometimes referred to as fondant, or simply icing. It has a very gentle vanilla flavour.
Dragees
Dragees are little balls made of sugar (like a boiled sweet) which are often coloured or given a metallic texture. Sometimes called sugar pearls. These are used to add a touch of sparkle to cakes and cupcakes.
Royal Icing
This is the traditional icing used to cover cakes, it was used on the Queen’s wedding cake. Royal icing is made of whisked egg whites and icing sugar. It dries very hard and is very sweet, we use it to “glue” things onto cakes as it acts as a great bonding agent, and it is used to pipe words or decorations, read more about Royal icing here. Since the invention of Sugarpaste however, it is now rarely used. It is difficult to work with, it is not as smooth and takes a lot longer to do. In summary, we do not use royal icing to cover our cakes, we use sugarpaste.
Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it, here is what others have said about their wedding cakes.
The girls created an awesome wedding cake for us that exceeded our expectations! It was a highlight of our special day. The girls listened to our requests for the cake and went above and beyond. The cake was enhanced by the excellent cupcakes that we gave our guests as party favours.
Garry and Katy (Cambridge)
Thank you all for our beautiful wedding cake! It looked amazing! Just what we wanted ❤️ it also tasted perfect and it went down a treat! Brilliant service and the balloons were lovely too!
Mr and Mrs B (Atherstone)
From the moment I enquired about a cake the service was great, everyone was friendly and knew what I wanted. The cake itself was perfect and it exceeded all expectations. It looked the part and the bride and groom were overwhelmed with it. The cake tasted amazing and most guests did not realise it was gluten-free. The sponge was moist and the icing was tasty. Everyone complimented the cake.
