INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE!
For a truly personal cake, I incorporate the colours, textures, shapes and, of course, flavours
that you like. When I design a cake for you,
whether you chose an classic, vogue or
avant-garde style your cake
will tell the story you chose. So,
when you come for a consultation, bring with you things that are part of the
story: a piece of your bridal dress fabric, an invitation or your
grandmother’s necklace. Personal things help to build a picture and from that picture,
together, we can create a unique cake.
I try accommodate most budgets but it is important to remember that many complex cakes can be 25
plus hours of work and even the simplest cake will still be 5 to10 hours work from start to finish.
And, of course, quality ingredients and our famous creme
fillings will always be worth a little more.
Consultations and Tasting
Initial discussions about a cake are typically held over phone or
via email. During this discussion we can determine the need for consultation. Note:
All consultations are by
appointment only. Tastings
are for a maximum of 4 people.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Generally cakes are only limited by your imagination and my ability to keep them standing up! But there are some things to consider when designing your cake:
- Cake size
- The number of guests, cake type and portion size determine the size of the cake.
- The size of the cake will influence the cake design.
For example, a 5 tier Wedding Cake for 30 people, is simply too much cake for too few people.
However if its a show stopper your after faux tiers
are always worth considering.
- Sculpted cakes
- Sculpted cakes are restricted to the firmer style cakes
and truffle style fillings.
- Temperature and location
- If you are having your occasion
outside and/or it is in the warmer months of the year,
certain cake fillings are not suitable. As a rule of
thumb if you need air-conditioning the cake will!
