Frequently asked questions.
How much can I expect to pay for my cake?
All cakes are bespoke so it is impossible to give an instant price but if you would like an estimate of price please provide the following information.
- Portions/ servings required
- Date and location of event
- Type of cake required sponge or fruit
- Theme, style or design ideas
- Delivery or collection of cake
How do I order a cake?
I am happy to take an order by email, phone, facebook or you can book a consultation, whichever suits you best.
Will you decorate a cake that I provide?
Yes. I am happy to decorate a home baked cake but only fruit cakes and by arrangement.
Can I mix and match the types of cakes I choose?
Yes. It is not a problem to have different flavours for different tiers or parts of the cake.
Do you hire cake stands?
Yes, but only to display my own cakes. A deposit is required.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes. I have “free from” recipes and can exclude nuts. However please note the kitchen is not a nut/ gluten free environment.
