INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE!

For a truly personal cake, I naturally incorporate the colours, textures, shapes and, of course, flavours that you like. When I design a cake for you, whether you chose an ultra modern, funky or classic style (or a mixture of all three) 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, a sporting trophy, your grandmother’s necklace or a picture of Dad’s old MG, Personal things help to build a picture and from that picture, together, we can create a unique cake.

I can 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 will always be worth 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. A tasting, for which there is a small fee, may be included.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

• 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.

• Sculpted cakes
  • Sculpted cakes are restricted to the firmer style cakes.

  
  

  • 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. In particular Italian butter creams. Because I do not use a artificial butter cream, this will need to be taken into consideration when designing a cake in the summer months.
