Fay's quick GUIDE TO ORDERING YOUR DREAM CAKE in 5 easy steps
Our wedding cakes are known for their elegant look and smooth finish showcasing a stunning display of handmade sugar flowers. Each of our wedding cake designs are made for your specific needs. The final price of your wedding cake will depend on the complexity of the design, number of servings, flavours required, and the location of your venue.
Step 1 Securing YOUR DATE
It's best to check my availability as soon as you have booked your venue, I take bookings one-two years in advance, should I have your date free, I will email over a copy of my brochure *Your wedding cake guide* where you will find lots of useful information. At this stage, I can give you an estimated price based on your numbers and the location of your venue.
A €100 non-refundable booking fee is required to proceed and secure your date, allowing you to carry on with your wedding planning, once you have chosen your elements for your wedding day we will then proceed with the cake design, you will be emailed a copy of my useful *design checklist* to help gather all your ideas, once you have gathered your insparation, you will be ready for a design consultation appointment online or face to face, usually around 6 months before your wedding date.
Should you wish to have a design consultation prior to securing your date, design appointments are charged at £50, which will be deducted from your final cake balance should you go ahead and secure your date with Fay's Cakes.
Step 2 designing your dream wedding cake
Upon receiving your booking fee or consultation enquiry, you will be emailed a copy of my useful design checklist for you to complete and return prior to your consultation. This will help me understand your overall vision for your day and begin work on your personalised design and quotation. Once you have confirmed all your elements for your wedding day and emailed back your filled out design checklist the design process can begin. You will be invited for a design consultation, your appointment will last approx 1 hour. There are no cake tasting samples during your design appointment, should you wish to taste our cakes you can do so by pre-ordering one of our cake tasting boxes. We offer design consultations appointments throughout the year on specific dates.
UNABLE TO VISIT US IN PERSON? I work with customers from all over the UK, as well as couples coming to get married in Scotland from abroad. We love nothing more than to meet our couples in person, however, if that is just not possible, don't worry as the design process can be carried out online. You will also receive a copy of my useful design checklist to help with the design process.

5 DELIVERY & SET UP OF YOUR WEDDING CAKE

Handmade sugar flowers
All the flowers you see on my website are hand-made from sugar-paste, sugar flowers are my speciality and a true labour of love. They are delicate and beautifully detailed and can be saved as keepsakes for years to come.
I can work to a picture or a list made up of the flowers your florist is providing you for your wedding day.
