Wedding Cake Design & Tasting Consultations

Let’s talk about cake

Designing your wedding cake should feel relaxed, exciting and completely personal. Whether you’d like to meet in person over tea and cake or chat from home, I offer flexible consultation options so we can create something that truly reflects you and your day.

Choose Your Consultation Style

In-Person Design & Tasting Consultation

If you’d enjoy the full experience, you’re very welcome to visit for a relaxed one-to-one consultation. We’ll chat through your wedding plans, explore design ideas and sample a selection of my most popular flavours together.

During your visit you can:

  • See my workspace and cakes on display

  • Taste a curated selection of flavours

  • Share inspiration and ideas

  • Ask as many questions as you like

  • Design your cake together in a calm, informal setting

I take on a limited number of weddings each year, so availability for in-person appointments can be restricted.

Virtual Design Consultation

Perfect for busy couples, those living further away, or anyone planning a Scottish wedding from abroad.

We’ll chat via video call and design your cake together just as we would in person, relaxed, friendly and completely tailored to you.

  • Postal tasting boxes available UK-wide

  • Flexible appointment times

  • Email consultations available if video isn’t convenient

When to Start Designing Your Cake

I usually recommend starting once key details like your colour palette, flowers, attire and venue styling are confirmed. That way, your cake will complement the overall look of your wedding beautifully.

Before Your Consultation

To make the most of our time together, I’ll send a simple pre-meeting checklist beforehand. Using this, I create a personalised mood board so we can focus on ideas that suit your style from the start.

You’re very welcome to share inspiration such as:

  • Pinterest images or photos

  • Invitations or stationery

  • Fabric swatches

  • Colour palettes or floral ideas

Every detail helps shape a cake that feels uniquely yours.

After Your Consultation

Following our chat, I’ll send you a detailed design proposal including:

  • Hand-drawn design sketch (or options)

  • Personalised quote

  • Flavour details

  • Delivery information

  • Stand hire options

  • Any additional details discussed

So you can relax knowing every detail has been carefully considered.

Beautiful design is always in the details

NO OBLIGATION – VIRTUAL CAKE DESIGN & TASTING

If you’d like to explore your wedding cake design before securing your date, you’re very welcome to begin with a virtual design consultation alongside a wedding cake tasting box to enjoy at home.

This gives us the chance to focus first on your vision — styling, inspiration, colours, and overall feel, while you sample a selection of flavours in your own time. We can chat via video call or email, whichever feels most comfortable.

There’s absolutely no obligation to book, it’s simply an opportunity to experience both the design process and the cakes, and see if I’m the right fit for your day.

Booking Your Date

Once your £100 Save the Date booking fee is secured, your design and tasting consultation is included as part of my bespoke wedding cake service.

Many couples book 12–18 months ahead, so do get in touch early if you have your date and venue confirmed.
