Bespoke from start to finish
Every wedding cake is designed from scratch.
There are no templates. Instead, your cake is created to suit:
- Your wedding style
- Your venue
- Your colour palette
- Your preferred flavours and requirements
- and how you want the cake to feel on the day
Some couples arrive with a clear vision. Others don’t. Both are absolutely fine. You’ll be guided through ideas, styles and options so the final design feels right for you.
Your wedding cake will often reflect the overall style of your day. Rustic barn venues often suit semi-naked or textured buttercream cakes, while town-centre hotels may lend themselves to clean, contemporary finishes. Summer weddings often feature softer colours and florals, while winter weddings can look beautiful with deeper jewel tones or subtle metallic details.
If you’re unsure where to start, looking at Pinterest or Instagram and saving anything you’re drawn to can help identify what you naturally prefer.
Design & inspiration
Wedding cakes range from classic and elegant to modern and statement-making.
Common design styles include:
- Clean, contemporary finishes
- Timeless tiered cakes
- Unique wedding cakes and hand-crafted details
- Cupcake wedding cakes
You might choose fresh flowers to tie in seamlessly with your wedding florals, or hand-crafted sugar flowers if you’d like something more detailed that you can keep afterwards. Some couples prefer traditional tiered cakes, while others opt for cupcake towers, brownies or cookies for something more relaxed and informal.
If you have inspirational images, they’re always welcome. If not, your venue, flowers and overall theme can be used to shape the design.
And if you’d like to have fun with it, you absolutely can. I’ve created themed cakes, detailed models, and completely bespoke designs that reflect couples’ personalities and interests. Your cake doesn’t have to follow a rulebook.
Flavours that guests actually remember
A wedding cake should taste as good as it looks.
We’ve come a long way from fruit cake being the only option. The vast majority of wedding cakes are sponge, and different tiers can have different flavours if you’d like.
You’ll be able to choose from a range of popular flavours, and different tiers can have different flavours if you’d like. Cakes are baked fresh, and designed to be enjoyed by your guests - not just photographed.
Season can also influence flavour choices. Lighter flavours such as lemon or strawberry are often popular in summer, while chocolate, carrot or salted caramel are favourites in autumn and winter.
Tasting samples are available so you can feel confident in your choices before booking. Design is important, but cake is food first and foremost – it needs to taste equally amazing.

Size, Structure & practical decisions
Wedding cakes are designed to provide enough portions for your guests, but there’s flexibility depending on how and when your cake will be served.
Larger weddings often require multi-tiered cakes, and tall cakes provide more portions than shorter ones. If you’re planning to serve cake in the evening, portion numbers can sometimes be adjusted slightly.
If you love the look of a larger showstopper cake but are having a smaller wedding, additional tiers can be created using cake dummies or acrylic separators. Equally, if you prefer a smaller design, additional sheet cakes can be provided for caterers to cut and serve alongside your display cake.
Some couples also choose to save the top tier, whether for an anniversary or another special occasion.
Fondant or buttercream?
This is often debated, but in reality it comes down to the finish you prefer and the practicalities of your venue.
Buttercream is ideal for textured finishes, semi-naked cakes and softer styling. Fondant provides a smoother, flawless surface and allows for detailed decoration such as hand-painted elements or intricate piping.
Weather and venue conditions can also play a part. For summer weddings, particularly in warmer venues, certain finishes may be more suitable than others. Guidance will always be given based on your specific plans.
Pricing & what affects the cost
Wedding cakes are priced individually because each design is different.
The cost is influenced by:
- Number of servings
- Size and number of tiers
- Design complexity
- Hand-made sugar flowers or detailed decoration
- Delivery and setup at your venue
I have created a size guide to give you an idea, and a personalised quote will be provided once your details are known.
Delivery, setup & peace of mind
Your cake will be delivered and set up at your venue on the day.
This means:
- You don't have to transport a fragile cake yourself
- No last-minute stress
- The cake is positioned and finished exactly as planned
Wedding cakes are delicate and best set up as close as possible to when they will be displayed. Liaising directly with the venue ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, so you can enjoy seeing your cake in place without worry.
The business is fully insured and holds a 5-star food hygiene rating, so you can relax knowing everything is covered.
Timing & booking
Wedding cake diaries fill up well in advance.
It’s recommended to enquire as early as possible, especially for peak wedding season. A deposit secures your date, with the remaining balance due closer to your wedding day.
Whatever cake you opt for, remember to relax and have fun with the choosing process, and try all the samples!
