For example – ALL Beverley venues, Skidby Millhouse, Tickton Grange Hotel.
Venues further afield may incur an additional mileage charge for delivery – please get in touch and I will be happy to price this up for you.
How big should my cake be?
Below are some popular sizes for round tiered cakes, with approximate number of portions, based on a 2 x 1″ serving (mostly used for sponge cakes) and 1 x 1″ sized serving (mostly used for fruit cakes).
Points to consider, when deciding the size of your cake.
Will it be served as the main dessert after the meal?
Will it be cut as part of your evening celebrations?
Not everyone will necessarily want to eat a slice of cake, so you don’t have to cater for every single guest!

What flavours do you offer?
My most popular flavours ordered are below – but I am happy to explore other flavours on request.
My most popular cake flavours
Salted Caramel – caramel flavoured sponge, filled with salted caramel buttercream and sauce
Vanilla – vanilla flavoured sponge, filled with vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam
Chocolate – chocolate flavoured sponge, filled with chocolate buttercream
White chocolate – vanilla flavoured sponge, filled with white chocolate & raspberry buttercream and raspberry jam
All sponge cakes are coated wiht a layer of decadent chcolate ganache (white, milk or dark chocoalte – depending on the flavour of sponge) before covering with sugar paste. This gives a smooth, form surface for decorating with the design of your choice.
Other flavours such as fruit cake, carrot cake red velvet sponge and more are available on request.

Answers to more FAQ’s below:
How do I order my wedding cake?
Contact me to book a consultation, where we can discuss ideas for your cake and you get to taste some samples.
Or, if you don’t need a face to face consultation – I am just as happy to deal with your enquiry/order via email. Send me details of your date, venue and any theme/ideas and I will send you a quote.
Once your design has been finalised, I ask for a £50 deposit to confirm order and reserve your date.
The balance for the order is due for payment 4 weeks before your wedding date (or you can choose to pay earlier or in instalments if you wish).
When should I order my wedding cake?
As I only ask for a small £50 deposit to book your date in my diary, the earlier you book the better, in order to avoid disappointment. I do everything on your cake, from the baking, to the decorating and delivery, so I am limited to how many cakes I can book in.
Having said that, if your wedding is sooner than this, don’t panic – please do check with me, as I may still have your date available.
Summer Saturdays are traditionally the ones that fill up soonest!
How can I make payments?
Bank Transfer
Paypal
Do you deliver the cake?
Delivery to venues within 5 miles of me are delivered FREE (eg ALL venues in Beverley and others just outside, such as Skidby Millhouse and Tickton Grange Hotel).
Delivery to venues outside of this area will be charged an additional small fee to cover mileage etc.
When pricing your cake, I will factor any additional delivery cost into your quote, so there won’t be any surprises along the way.
Can I collect the cake?
We will discuss the best ways of transportation and storage.
