FAY'S PROCESS TO DESIGNING YOUR
DREAM WEDDING CAKE
Fay's booking & design process
Securing Your wedding Date; Once you’ve booked your wedding venue, it’s the perfect time to start securing your preferred suppliers. To maintain the high standards of my bespoke service, I usually take on just one wedding cake per week (occasionally two, depending on the design’s complexity, size, and location). Short-notice bookings may also be possible, so please don’t hesitate to ask.
My diary is currently open for 2025, 2026, and 2027. A £100 booking fee secures your date and gives you peace of mind, knowing your preferred cake designer is reserved. This fee will be deducted from your final cake balance. Once booked, your date is firmly in my diary, allowing you to focus on the rest of your wedding planning.
When you enquire, you’ll receive a delivery quote based on your wedding venue’s location. Please include your venue details to ensure accurate pricing. You’ll also receive a pricing guide based on your guest numbers to help with budgeting.
Designing Your Cake; Design Consultation; Once your booking fee has been paid, a design consultation is included as part of my service. It’s time to gather inspiration for your cake. To ensure the design reflects your vision, it’s best to start the design process after finalising key details such as your colour scheme, flowers, and attire. This helps your cake seamlessly complement your overall wedding aesthetic. Usually around 6 months is an ideal time as you should have confirmed these key elements by then.
Consultations are scheduled once these details are in place. I’ll send you a short questionnaire to gather essential information about your day, which I’ll use to create a personalised mood board. From there, we can arrange a design consultation, in person, virtually, or via email, to refine your cake design, ensuring it perfectly aligns with your style and wedding theme.
*No-Commitment Consultation Appointments; If you'd like to discuss design ideas before paying the £100 "Save the Date" booking fee, you’re welcome to book a consultation. £35 for an in-person appointment or £25 for a virtual one. The cost of your consultation will be deducted from your wedding cake total once you’ve paid your "Save the date" booking fee.

Delivery & setup
Around 10 weeks before your wedding, we’ll revisit your booking form and flavour choices to ensure you are happy. Once these details are confirmed, your balance payment is due at 8 weeks, allowing you to forget all about your cake until the wedding day.
When you order your wedding cake from Fay's Cakes, to ensure your experience is as stress-free as possible, our service includes coordinating with your wedding suppliers, florists, planners, and stylists. The week of your wedding, I will also send a copy of my portion guide, allergens statement and my business insurance to your venue.
We will work with your wedding venue coordinator to schedule the delivery and set-up of your cake on the morning of your wedding. Due to the delicate nature of wedding cakes and sugar flowers, I will personally deliver and set up your cake at your venue.
With everything in place, all that's left for you to do is relax and enjoy your wedding day!
