Wedding Cake Design & Tasting Consultations
Let’s talk about cake
Creating your wedding cake is a special part of the journey, and it should feel enjoyable, inspiring and uniquely yours. I offer a range of consultation options to suit your schedule, from an in-person design meeting with a tasting, to a video consultation with a cake sample box sent to your home, or a relaxed email discussion if you prefer flexibility. However we connect, we’ll thoughtfully shape every detail to design a cake that feels perfectly suited to you and your celebration.
When to Start Designing Your Cake
To capture the feel of your wedding, I usually suggest starting the cake design once things like your colour palette, flowers, outfits and venue styling are decided. It just helps everything tie together beautifully. And if you’ve got a Pinterest board, I’d love to see it, they’re such a great way to share ideas and inspiration.
Choose Your Consultation Style
In-Person Design Consultation
Once your date is secured, you’ll be invited to a wedding cake design consultation with a cake tasting, included as part of my bespoke service. If you’d like the full experience, you’re very welcome to visit for a relaxed consultation for two, where we can chat through your plans while you enjoy sampling some of my favourite flavours.
It’s a lovely opportunity to explore design ideas together, share inspiration and start bringing your cake vision to life in a calm, informal setting.
During your visit you can:
See my workspace and cakes on display
Taste a curated selection of cake flavours
Share inspiration and ideas

*Postal tasting boxes available UK-wide
Flexible appointment times
Email consultations available if video isn’t convenient
Virtual design via emails
If you’d prefer a more flexible approach, the entire design process can take place via email. I’ll send a short pre-meeting checklist beforehand, which I’ll use to create a personalised mood board tailored to your style.
From there, I’ll develop initial design sketches and we’ll refine them together until you’re completely happy with the final design.
Before Your Consultation
To make the most of our time together, I’ll send a simple pre-meeting checklist beforehand. Using this, I will create a personalised moodboard 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
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.
NO OBLIGATION – VIRTUAL CAKE DESIGN & TASTING
If you’d like to explore your wedding cake design and taste 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.
