FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you make cakes for people with special dietary requirements?
Yes, all of our wedding and celebration cakes can be made 'without gluten' or 'without nuts'. We do however use products containing allergens in our kitchen using the same equipment (which is cleaned thoroughly) so we cannot guarantee traces of allergens will not be in the cake. We also offer 'without dairy' and vegan cupcakes.
Do you deliver?

Do you offer cake stand hire?
Yes, if you are purchasing a cake from us we have a range of cake stands available for wedding cakes, celebration cakes and dessert tables.

Do you make everything yourself?
Yes, everything is made by hand by Alison in our cake kitchen including sugar flowers, cupcake toppers (so all the little hearts, chocolate bars etc) and dessert table items. The only things we don't make are preserves, sprinkles and acrylic cake toppers.
How much notice do you need?
We only make a maximum of 2 - 3 wedding cakes per week to ensure they are of the highest quality. Wedding cakes are typically ordered 12 - 18 months in advance of the wedding and peak dates get booked up very quickly, however we do our best to accommodate orders with less notice.
Why are your prices higher than some other cake makers?
If your cake design is not within your budget, we can work with you to design other options for a more suitable price range. Our pricing reflects our level of skill, quality of finish and the quality of ingredients used.
