How can I get a quote?
Do you require a deposit to secure my booking?
Yes we do. A 50% Deposit is required to book in your cake and secure your date.
I need to cancel my order, can I get a refund?
If an order is cancelled within 14 days of the due date we cannot give a refund or a credit and you will forfeit your deposit.
How much notice do you need?
For wedding cakes we usually reccommend at least 6 months if it is wedding season. The warmer months are our busiest months, generally between October-April for wedding cakes. This will also allow us enough time to get ideas together, get you in for a tasting and discuss the cakes final details.
Do you need a photo of the cake I'd like?
If you have a photo of what you'd like that's great! Seeing photos helps us get to know what style of cake you're after. Of course we always put our own artistic flair and style into the design when making them, visit our instagram page to see our latest work!
Can I come in for a consultation?
Yes! We love meeting our customers! We are open by appointment only so please contact us in advance to book in a time as we may not always be available if you walk in.
Do you offer complimentary tastings?
