How much are your cakes?
We have no set designs, we tailor make everything to your specific requirements and all cakes can be made in a variety of sizes and flavours and with personalised decoration. Therefore, there are too many variables which affect the price to be able to publish full price details.
There is a guide to starting prices on the Prices and Delivery page which will give you an idea of where we start for a basic cake.

In order to keep our prices competitive we are unable to provide samples for celebration cakes. However, we make hundreds of cakes a year and always have positive feedback on the taste of our cakes.
I want a cake with a particular theme – can you help?
Our website shows only a small selection of cakes that we have made recently. It is intended only to give an indication of the work that we do and should not be treated as a full catalogue. Obviously, it includes those cakes which we feel might have a wide appeal to potential customers.
If you are looking for something particular as a theme, colour scheme, style or size please contact us with your thoughts and we’ll be pleased to give you some ideas as to how we can incorporate your requirements. We are always full of inspiration and haven’t been beaten by any strange or unique request yet – suffice to say our portfolio contains photographs of cakes representing lots of weird and wonderful themes!
I have seen a particular cake I like – will you copy it?
All cake makers are proud of their own designs and cake decorating is a bit like handwriting in that each individual has their own style. However, we are happy to take a look at the design that inspire you and create our version of your favourite or come up with a unique design incorporating different aspects of several different cakes.
As all cakes and decorations are handmade we cannot guarantee that even copies of our own designs will be exactly the same as the original.
Can we incorporate non–edible decorations such as jewels, diamantes and glitter in our design?
We are constantly updating our knowledge and training in the latest food safety and hygiene regulations. Our premises are inspected by local Environmental Health officers and our staff are regularly trained in basic food safety and handling. We will discuss with you any restrictions regarding the use of decorations such as fresh flowers, non–edible decorations such as jewels, diamantes etc and glitter and advise you on how we can incorporate these into the design of your cake so that you achieve the look you are hoping for without compromising the safety of your guests who will be eating it!

How much lead time / notice do you require?

Yes we are pleased to be able to offer cakes which are vegan, egg free, dairy free, or wheat free and sometimes a combination of these! However, we do require more notice for this type of cake so please give as much notice as possible.
Sugar free cakes are not really an option!
Although, our sponge cakes do not contain nuts or nut products and we do all possible to avoid any cross-contamination, we are unable to offer a 100% guarantee that they are free from all traces of nuts as we only have one work area where nuts are used and also our suppliers do not guarantee all ingredients are free from traces of nuts.

Yes, so long as it's a fruit cake that has been kept / baked we are happy to cover and decorate a fruit cake base that you provide.
