Cake Price Guide
"GOOD CAKE ISN'T CHEAP AND CHEAP CAKE ISN'T GOOD"
While I aim to price my cakes competitively please be mindful that as well as the ingredients (which are also rising in price along with everything else in the supermarket) my time, skills, equipment, materials, packaging and utilities are all taken into consideration.
Prices include basic decoration, a fondant covered board (with lettering) and a suitably sized box. Cakes include 3 layers of sponge sandwiched with Buttercream and Jam/Curd if requested. (Taller cakes can also be accommodated)

Cake Ordering & Flavour Guide
Ordering a bespoke celebration cake is exciting and I aim to get it completely right and suitable for you. To help this process please take a few minutes to read the tips below.
- Unless you're happy to give me 'free artistic licence' please be as specific as possible - perhaps a particular colour, layout, style or name is required. I'm always happy to offer advice and ideas but it would be helpful for you to have a few things in mind that you would definitely like included.
- It's also helpful to send me pictures of cakes that you like, although I need to be careful not to plagiarise another design and also the copyright of characters and images.
- Consider the size of cake you'll need ie. how many servings. There's a size/portion guide above, but if you require a smaller cake, such as a 8" please remember that the layout and amount of decor that can be fitted onto it will be more limited than, say, an 10" cake.
- Fondant models are priced from £15 each for simple animal models and £25 for human and car models. If they are particularly detailed or challenging they will be priced accordingly. If the model is very tall or delicate then delivery and assembly at the venue will be required. Models are based on a caricature rather than true likeness. They are also likely to contain cocktail sticks and skewers to help support them. Whilst a hardening agent is added to the fondant they are still susceptible to gravity, and are for decoration rather than consumption.
- Cakes with more than two tiers will also require delivery and assembly at the venue.
Flavours
I'm always open to different flavour ideas but here's a few popular combinations:
Sponge | Buttercream | Jam/Curd |
Vanilla | Vanilla Chocolate Caramel White Chocolate Nutella Biscoff | Strawberry Raspberry Passion Fruit Lemon |
