Allergens & Intolerances

As I work from my home kitchen, I handle all ingredients and allergens. I store all of my ingredients in the same cupboard and bake my cakes in the same tins. I cannot therefore provide any cakes that are completely free of allergens and cannot guarantee that cross-contamination has not taken place. Please be mindful of this when ordering your cake. I do have a number of flavours that I can bake dairy free and gluten free - this is NOT the same as providing a gluten free (etc.) cake. It is simply baked using gluten free ingredients. I cannot cater for anyone that has an allergy or intolerance. If my cakes are consumed by someone who has a food allergy or intolerance, they do so at their own risk. Only you know the severity of your own food allergy or intolerance and if you are in anyway doubtful, then you should not consume any of my cakes. All of my cakes are produced in a kitchen that handles the following allergens : Cereals containing Gluten | Eggs | Peanuts | Rice | Nuts | Celery | Mustard | Sesame I have written a blog piece on this with more details. Please read this for your own information.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a cake related question, hopefully I have answered it here, if not, please feel free to send an email to hello@wedcakes.co.uk I aim to reply to all queries within 48 hours, or next business day if over the weekend.
1

When should I book my cake?

You can book your wedding cake as soon as you have your wedding date confirmed with your venue! It is never too early, but it can be too late! My order book is currently open to all dates up to the end of 2026
2

What size cake should I order?

You should cater for a minimum of 90% of your wedding guests. All wedding cakes are a portioned to be 1” x 1” x 5” tall. I will always send you a range of different sizing options to choose from, with their corresponding price and serving guide. Which size you opt for will be entirely up to you.
3

Do you deliver the wedding cake?

All bespoke wedding cakes are personally hand delivered and setup by me the morning of your wedding at your venue. This is included in the cost of your wedding cake. Delivery is not included for the Budget, Dummy or Rental wedding cakes.
4

Do you do taster boxes?

Yes I do! Taster boxes are available to purchase from my online store. All boxes can be sent to any UK address by 24hr Royal Mail tracked postage. If you have ordered a bespoke wedding cake with me, you receive 1 taster box as part of your order. Please click on this link to see more details about the boxes online store
5

How much will my wedding cake cost?

All of my wedding cakes are individually priced for each and every wedding as each and every single wedding is different. Please see the Pricing page for greater detail on the pricing of wedding cakes. Click Here
6

Will you decorate a cake that I have baked

or bought elsewhere?

No, unfortunately not. I will only decorate a cake that I have baked myself.
7

I am raising money for a charity, can you

offer/donate any cakes for free?

Unfortunately not. I have a range of different charities that are personal to me that I already donate to when I can.
8

I’d like you to do my wedding cake, do I

have to pay a deposit?

Yes. All orders are confirmed ‘booked in‘ on receipt of a £100 booking fee. Full details will be sent with your order form. Unfortunately you do not have an order with me until this booking fee has been received - regardless of how many times we have emailed/discussed/met up regarding your cake.
9

Do you have any offers or discounts

throughout the year or if I pay in cash

I do not offer discounts or offers on my cakes. I always offer the best price to all clients regardless of how they pay or who they are.
10

I am getting married over Xmas/NY, can

you do my wedding cake for me?

No, unfortunately not. I do not work over the Christmas and New Year holidays as I am closed for the holiday season.
11

I would like a naked/semi-naked,

buttercream cake for my wedding, can you

do this?

No, unfortunately not. I only work with ganache and fondant. Buttercream/naked cakes are well known for melting/drying out over the course of the day and are unstable. I do not recommend them whatsoever for a wedding cake.
12

I’ve been quoted the same wedding cake

at a cheaper price with a different wedding

cake designer. Will you price match?

No, I do not price match. My price is based on my experience, quality of ingredients, time, effort and attention to detail spent on each and every cake I do.
13

Will you send progress shots of my wedding cake when it is in production?

Unfortunately not. I do not send progress shots at any stage in the production process. All of my wedding cakes are in prep for many days before your wedding day and only finished on site at your venue ready for when you arrive for your reception. Seeing your wedding cake all setup at your venue when you arrive adds to the excitement of the day
14

We discussed a wedding cake design with you a while back but now you are saying you can’t do

my wedding cake. why?

All wedding cake orders are only secured once a booking fee of £100 has been received. Regardless of how many times we have talked or emailed each other, if no booking fee has been paid, you do not have a wedding cake order with me. My advice is always to book your wedding cake as soon as you know your wedding date.
15

Help! I had my wedding cake booked with my friend/relative/other designer and they’ve cancelled -

can you do it (short notice)?

All wedding cake orders are taken according to my own availability. If I have availability for your date I can do your cake for you. Minimum notice is 7 days for a wedding cake.
16

I have 100 people going to my wedding and a £50 budget for the wedding cake. Will you do my

wedding cake?

Unfortunately not. All of my wedding cakes start at £350 and increase depending on the date, design and size required. My price also includes delivery and setup on your wedding day and also a wedding cake taster box. It is best to create a more realistic budget for your wedding cake or perhaps bake your own cake to keep your costs down.
