If you do book your cake this is taken off the cake price. We also have a term agreement form that must be signed by both parties at your appointment –this covers both parties.

Booking

We suggest you book your cake in with us no later than 4-6 months ahead of your wedding day. Some of my clients have booked 1 year ahead. We wish to make the cake to be perfect for that very special day, and so do you. Some months are busier than others. Please keep this in mind when booking your cake.

Accessories

flower1   flower2   flower3
These flowers were made by Margaret.

Good things do take time to make especially flowers and leaves plus cake tops as these are all hand made from scratch.

ribbonsRemember that your ribbon around your cake and your decoration whether it be handmade flowers /fresh flowers check our website re using fresh flowers on your cake or other decorations makes your cake to be elegant.

We have a wonderful selection of ribbons for your cake or cakes to choose from.

Flavours

We offer to our clients 32 cake flavours including gluten free cake flavours as well, including 10 cup cake flavours which are individually made with each order to homemade recipes and only made fresh with each order to fresh cake ingredients. Cupcakes cannot be made until the day before and then iced so they are as fresh as can be for the special day.

Fruit cakes are made are from our family recipe.

These need to be made at least 2-3 months ahead to mature in flavour.

A full list of our cake flavours available can be found here.

Modern brides of today are stepping away from the traditional fruit cake but some brides still prefer this for their cakes, this allows the cake decorator to finish the cake/ cakes ahead of time.

For those brides who like modern cakes like chocolate mud they can be made a week in advance but chocolate carrot banana etc. cannot be made until the week of the wedding then decorated but only will keep up to 3 months in the freezer, where as a fruit cake can be frozen for a longer length of time.

Remember cutting your cake at your reception which takes pride at any wedding reception which many hours has gone into the making and decorating of the cake. It takes pride of place where many of your wedding guests will admire the cake and many photos will be taken.

This is your first task as a married couple you do is cut your cake. The bride inserts the knife into the cake assisted by her husband.

History of the Wedding Cake

The baking of a wedding cake is believed to be one of the oldest traditions going back to the Roman and Greek days.

It is certainly a well-established tradition of every wedding celebration.

You can view a variety of wedding cakes made by Margaret here.
