- Can we collect in store?

 Absolutely! Give us a call before or after purchase or pop it in the notes before checkout online. You are more than welcome to collect in the weekends as well.  

 

- How do you ensure the cake arrives safely?

 We have taken years to perfect our delivery packaging and designed a unique cake box where the cake can be easily carried and transported.  All cakes are delivered as a fragile item which is printed clearly on the packaging. Our courier delivers nationwide with over a 99% success rate.

 

- What happens in bad weather conditions?

 In the case of an adverse weather forecast, we suggest you order 3 working days in advance or call us to change your delivery date.

 

- When do you suggest I order my cake before the event?

 In normal weather conditions, we recommend you order your cake 2 days in advance as the cake is sealed airtight under the sugarpaste fondant, and will remain fresh for up to 10 days! 

The reason we suggest you order in advance is because of unforeseen circumstances, like adverse weather conditions or a delayed courier. We know that the cake is a centre piece of the party and the last thing we want to see is a party with no cake! PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE LEAD UP TO CHRISTMAS AND BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY PERIODS WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND SCHEDULING YOUR DELIVERY DATE AS TWO FULL WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT. 

 

- How many portions do your cakes provide?

 8" cakes will serve 20-25 portions 

 10" (extra large) cakes will serve 30-35 portions 

 12" (XXL) cake with 3 layers will serve 40-50 people(Hand Delivery collection only)

If you are looking to serve more guests at your event we can send out a separate plain cutting cake with the colour of your choice or we can try our best to add more layers to increase the number of portions (depending on the design of the cake). Give us a call, we can always come up with a solution to suit your needs.  

 

- Do you make tiered cakes?

 Absolutely!

Option1: We can make as many tiers as you like for collection in our Berkshire based workshop, or we can hand deliver for an additional charge.

Option2: We can delivery each tier in separate boxes, and all you have to do is place one on top of the other.
