Baked to perfection...
I pride myself on producing cakes that not only look fabulous but taste great too! Quality ingredients are used to create each delicious cake.
All About The Cake....
Freshly Baked
My cakes are all freshly baked to order. I believe that tasting good is just as important as looking good. All of my standard size sponge cakes are 4" deep so there is plenty of delicious cake to enjoy!
Cake Flavours
Experience has taught me that you really can't beat the old favourites! I am therefore pleased to offer the following flavours, but am happy to discuss other requirements. VEGAN options also available.
- Vanilla A classic Victoria Sponge, flavoured with vanilla, filled with creamy vanilla buttercream and raspberry conserve.
- Chocoholics Chocolate A rich, moist chocolate sponge, filled with chocolate buttercream that is combined with chocolate.
- Luscious Lemon Sponge Made with the zest and juice of fresh lemons, filled with lemon buttercream and a hint of lemon curd.
- Coffee Hit A rich coffee sponge with a delicious coffee buttercream filling and a splash of Baileys Irish cream* for good measure!
- Salted Caramel A gorgeous caramel flavoured sponge filled with salted caramel flavoured buttercream and a layer of caramel sauce.
- Red Velvet A light sponge with a hint of cocoa and a fabulous colour! Filled with delicious vanilla buttercream.
- Carrot Cake A lovely moist cake filled with a subtle orange flavoured buttercream.
- Rich Fruit Cake A deliciously moist and rich fruit cake that is infused with French Cognac*, then covered with marzipan. Please note: this cake improves if given time to mature, therefore orders should ideally be placed a minimum of two months in advance.
Unless a customer requests otherwise, all iced cakes will generally have a chocolate ganache coating, as this provides a firm base for the icing. This will be either white, milk or dark chocolate ganache depending upon the flavour of the cake itself (but this can be varied if required).
* Alcohol can be omitted on request
Best Before....
Your cake will be baked from fresh ingredients and will not contain preservatives. It should therefore be correctly stored as you would any other fresh food items, taking account of seasonal temperatures. I would suggest that it is best eaten within 48 hours of collection or delivery. Fruit cakes covered in marzipan should last much longer if stored correctly.
Non-Edible Items
Some of the items used as part of the decorations on my cakes are not edible. I will always advise a customer if this applies to their cake. It is then the customers responsibility to ensure that any such items are removed from the cake prior to consumption.
Food Allergies and Intolerances
Cakes contain GLUTEN, MILK (including butter and cream), EGGS, and MAY contain SOYA, NUTS, and FRUITS or are made in an environment where these items are present. Therefore they may be UNSUITABLE for anyone who who has an allergy or intolerance of any of these items.
If you require a gluten or dairy free cake please contact me to discuss.
Ordering a Cake
Discussing your Requirements
If you decide to order a cake from me then we will discuss your requirements to ensure that you receive the perfect cake. Once the details have been agreed these will be confirmed to you in writing.
Cake Prices
Please don't feel too shy to ask for an initial no obligation estimate! But as each cake is unique the final price will be based on a number of factors, including the size and complexity of the cake, the number of tiers and the number and detail of any models and figures on the cake. But to give some idea of starting prices, please see the Cake Size and Pricing page (link below). All of my sponge cakes flavours are priced the same, but fruit cakes cost slightly more due to the higher cost of ingredients. Once I have agreed a price with you (for a specific design) then this will not change.
Payment
To secure an order and date I require a deposit for all cakes. Your order is not confirmed until a deposit has been received.
- For celebration cakes a 25% non refundable deposit is required. The remaining balance can be paid by cash on the day of collection, or via bank transfer a minimum of 48 hours before collection.
- For wedding cakes priced below £300 a £50 non refundable deposit is required. For wedding cakes £300 and over a £100 non refundable deposit is required.
- For all wedding cakes, the final balance must be paid in full ONE MONTH prior to the wedding, in cash or via bank transfer.
- If I have to cancel an order due to unforeseen circumstances, then the deposit and any monies paid, will be refunded to you in full.
Collection and Delivery of Cakes
Celebration cakes should be collected at an agreed time and date. For wedding cakes, delivery and setup is included in the price, based upon the location of the venue specified at the time of booking. If the venue is subsequently changed then this may incur an additional charge.
If you are collecting a celebration cake, or choose to collect a wedding cake, then I cannot take responsibility for any damage that occurs to the cake once it has been collected. Whilst every effort is made to ensure that cakes and their decorations are stable, by their very nature they are fragile and need to be handled carefully. But I will alway advise on the best way to transport your precious cake!
