Wedding Cake Booking & Design Process
Booking your preferred wedding suppliers
Once you’ve booked your venue, it’s the perfect time to start securing your preferred suppliers in advance, including your cake designer.
To give each couple the care and attention they deserve, I create just one wedding cake per week (occasionally two for simpler designs). This ensures your cake is created with the highest level of detail and love. Short-notice bookings may sometimes be possible too, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
My diary is now open for 2026 and 2027.
01. Enquire & Book A Discovery Call
Your bespoke wedding cake journey begins with a simple enquiry. Once you get in touch, I’ll check availability for your wedding date, venue, and guest numbers.
At this stage, we can also arrange a complimentary discovery call if you’d like to talk things through in more detail.
02. Secure Your Date
If I’m available and you’d like to proceed, your wedding date can be secured with a £100 Save the Date booking fee.
There’s no need to have your cake design finalised at this stage, that comes later. Booking early simply gives you peace of mind that your date is reserved in my diary.
no obligation -
Cake tasting & design
If you’d prefer to sample my cakes before booking, you’re welcome to order a wedding cake tasting box to enjoy at home.
Each *sample box includes a virtual design consultation (via video call or email), giving us the opportunity to discuss your styling ideas, flavours, and overall vision before you commit.
03. Wedding Cake Design & tasting Consultation
Once your date is secured, you’ll be invited to a wedding cake design consultation, including a cake tasting closer to your wedding date, all included as part of my bespoke service.
This is my favourite part of the process, bringing together your ideas to create a wedding cake that reflects your style, story, and celebration.
To ensure your wedding cake complements your day beautifully, I recommend beginning the design process once key elements are confirmed, such as your colour palette, wedding attire, room décor, and florals (Pinterest boards are very welcome!).
Ahead of your consultation, I’ll send a short pre-meeting questionnaire and create a personalised wedding cake mood board to inspire your final design.Your consultation can take place:
In person, with a wedding cake tasting
Via video call, with a *cake tasting box delivered straight to your door
Or via email, if you prefer a more flexible approach
Together, we’ll refine every detail until your wedding cake feels completely you.
04. YOUR WEDDING CAKE DESIGN PROPOSAL
Following your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed wedding cake design proposal, along with a hand-drawn bespoke design sketch (or sketches). We’ll refine the design together until everything is perfectly in place.
This is where your ideas and my design expertise come together, and your bespoke wedding cake truly begins to take shape.
05. Delivery & set up
My aim is to make the delivery and set-up of your wedding cake completely stress-free.
I personally deliver and set up your wedding cake on the morning of your wedding, working directly with your venue coordinator to ensure everything runs smoothly and to plan.
Your venue will be provided with my portion-cutting guide, full ingredient and allergen information, and a copy of my public liability insurance in advance of your wedding day.
All that’s left for you to do is relax and enjoy your celebration.
Delivery costs will be confirmed at the time of your initial enquiry. While I primarily cover the Central Belt of Scotland, I’m happy to discuss delivery to further locations where possible.
