Celebration Cakes

We provide a personal and professional bespoke celebration cake service backed up with a life time of baking experience. We are here to advise and guide you through the design process to ensure that your cake is perfect for you on your unique and special occasion. A wedding, anniversary, birthday or simply what ever it maybe!

We bake a full range of cake bases from our dark rich ripened fruit cake baked with brandy, dark chocolate, vanilla, lemon and many more flavours baked using the freshest of local ingredients where possible in our fully registered purpose built studio kitchen. Cake also must taste good as well, so we are more then happy to provide a small cake sample by arrangement when planning a large special cake as all cakes are baked fresh to order.

The service starts with your no-obligation consultation where we meet with you at our studio to discuss your ideas, your style and your tastes. If you have something specific in mind then we can help you achieve your vision of the perfect celebration cake. We can work from your design or we can create a totally bespoke one off design just for you including a theme and colour to compliment the occasion.

After your consultation we will provide design sketches so that you can visualise your cake and at this point we also provide you with a comprehensive quotation. Your quotation will detail the design, flavour choices, size and shape and includes costs such as stand & knife hire, delivery and set-up costs where applicable so there are no nasty surprises when it comes to settling the bill.

If you are happy with the quotation and wish to order a non-refundable deposit is required. Your written quotation will give you all the deposit details and when full payment will be required to secure the delivery or collection date. Please read the terms and conditions for our cancellation policy.

We only undertake a limited number of celebration cakes each week so we give dedicated attention to every individual commission, so dates fill very quickly!
