INVESTMENT, design & delivery
Designing your wedding cake should feel enjoyable, relaxed and completely personal.
I create bespoke wedding cakes for a wide range of celebrations, from intimate weddings to larger statement designs. I’m always happy to chat through ideas and help you explore options that feel right for your day and your budget.
A luxury wedding cake is so much more than flour, sugar, and icing. It’s a carefully designed, handcrafted centrepiece that takes time, skill, and attention to detail, all delivered with a calm, stress-free experience from first enquiry to wedding day.
It's more than just cake, it’s part of creating a lasting memory.

SHARING YOUR BUDGET (OPTIONAL, BUT HELPFUL)
If you have a budget in mind, sharing it is always helpful, it allows me to suggest designs that reflect your priorities while staying close to your preferred spend.
If you’d prefer not to share a budget, that’s absolutely fine too. I can create design ideas from your inspiration or moodboard across a range of price points so you can explore what feels right.

I’d love to hear about your wedding plans.
Cake Design, Tiers & Portion Sizes
The overall design and proportions of your cake are often more important than the number of tiers. Some designs look best as taller, slimmer cakes. while adding a discreet kitchen cutting cake is a great way to increase portions without affecting the look of your design.
Standard tiers
Just over 5 inches tall
4 layers of sponge with 3 layers of filling
Taller tiers
Created with extra sponge or dummy layers
Add height and visual impact without increasing portion count
Dummy tiers
Lightweight and decorated to match the cake
Ideal for dramatic designs or reducing overall cake weight
Savings are minimal, as most of the cost is in the decoration. Please note I do not supply plain iced cakes.
Size Chart & Portion Guide
You’ll receive a detailed portion guide by email, which we’ll also discuss during your design consultation.
Portions are based on 1” x 1" x 4” wedding finger slices
Halved slices provide double portions
Final numbers may vary slightly depending on tier height and venue cutting style
If you love the look of a smaller display cake but need extra portions, kitchen cutting cakes can be added discreetly, giving you flexibility without compromising design.
At Scottish weddings, cake is often served with the evening buffet, so I usually recommend catering for around 80% of your guest count.
In the week leading up to your wedding, your venue will receive:
A portion-cutting guide
Full ingredient and allergen information
A copy of my public liability insurance
ELEVATE YOUR CAKE design
A beautiful cake deserves an equally beautiful stand. I offer a carefully curated collection of cake stands and accessories for hire, each chosen for its quality, stability, and timeless style. Prices range from £10–£30, with a refundable security deposit depending on the item. (Hire is only available with a cake order.)
Styling & Setup
Your cake display should feel just as thoughtfully styled as the rest of your celebration. From elegant linens and soft candlelight to floral details and personal touches, every element works together to enhance the overall look.
I’m happy to collaborate with your florist or décor team to create a picture-perfect setting that complements your cake design and venue beautifully.
SWEET WORDS
I may be biased but I’m convinced this was the most beautiful cake you’ve ever made! I was staring at it all day. I could not wrap my head around the fact those were sugar flowers and not real flowers… this cake was absolutely gorgeous from top to bottom!!! Thank you so much for bringing this cake to life!
Enquiries are always welcome, even if you’re just at the early planning stage.
