The Process
Booking a wedding cake is so much more than just choosing your design and flavors, although cake tastings are pretty fun! It's about partnering and putting your trust in someone to create a work of art that represents you both as a couple, and that compliments your wedding day perfectly.
As soon as you have booked your venue it is best to get in touch to check my availability. Dates can book up quickly, especially popular ones such as holidays, and as it is just myself running the show, I do limit the number of cakes I make each week to ensure I can give each one the love and attention it deserves.
If you like my work and know you would like to book me to make your wedding cake, then you can secure your date with a non-refundable deposit of $125 and we can finalize the design of your wedding cake at a later date.
Take a look below at the step by step process of how things work when you book a wedding cake with me.
Step 1
If you haven't done so already, fill out an inquiry form to see if your date is available. The form will require some details about your day, including what your ideas and inspirations are for your wedding cake.
You may have a clear idea of what you want or be inspired by one of my previous designs. Or if at this stage you're still not sure, not to worry, we will choose a design together. Any ideas at this point will help me to work out a rough quote based on the information you have provided.

Step 2
Once you have secured your date with a deposit you can relax! The next bit is the fun part. I will be in touch to arrange an online chat/video appointment to discuss the design of your cake. Your ideas and visions can change during the planning of your wedding so it is best to have your colors, flowers and decor/style sorted before deciding on the design of your cake.
I will also be in touch to arrange a cake tasting for you. I offer optional tasting boxes at selected times throughout the year to avoid the busy summer months and to allow you plenty time to make a decision. There is a $40 fee per box, and you’ll receive tasting portions of your top 4 flavors from my menu. Tasting boxes can be picked up, delivered, or shipped if needed.
Step 3
Once we have the design finalized, I'll begin working on a digital sketch based on everything we discussed to help you visualize your wedding cake, along with a more accurate price. Don't worry if things aren't quite right, I can tweak your chosen design until the details are exactly as you envision.
Lastly, we can start thinking about the set up for your cake. How you style your cake is just as important as the cake itself and i have a range of different stands and other props available to rent. I will also work alongside your planner to ensure your cake is properly showcased at your reception.
Step 4
Now the countdown to seeing your cake in real life and enjoying those delicious bites is on! Between now and the big day, I will be doing lots of things behind the scenes such as liaising with your florist, planner and venue and putting things in place for the making of your wedding cake.
A month prior to your wedding date I will be in touch to run through all the details and confirm the design, flavors, timing and everything else is correct. This is also when your remaining balance is due.
After that all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding day...oh and a slice (or two!) of cake!
