The timeline from booking through to delivery
Your Wedding Cake Journey Starts Here
Every cake begins with a conversation. Share a few details about your day and I’ll guide you through the possibilities, helping you find a design that feels just right.
Enquire
Your bespoke wedding cake journey begins with a simple enquiry. Once you get in touch, I’ll confirm my availability for your wedding date, venue, and guest numbers, and provide a delivery and set-up quote.
SECURE YOUR DATE
If your date is available and you’d like to move forward, you can secure it with a £100 non-refundable Save the Date booking fee.
This is perfect for couples who are booking in advance and may not yet have all the details finalised. Reserving your date ensures your place in my diary, giving you complete peace of mind.
Lets design your wedding cake together
When you’re ready to begin designing your cake, I’ll send you a short questionnaire to complete. You can return this along with any inspiration, such as your colour palette, venue styling, or Pinterest boards. I’ll create a personalised mood board to guide the design direction.
We’ll then arrange a design consultation, via a video call or continue via email, where we’ll explore designs ideas in more detail, review your mood board, and refine the overall concept together.
YOUR WEDDING CAKE DESIGN PROPOSAL
Following your design 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.
Delivery & set up
Around 10 weeks before your wedding, I’ll be in touch to finalise all the details on your booking form, making sure everything is perfectly in place for your big day.
My aim is to make the delivery and set up of your wedding cake completely stress free. On the morning of your wedding, I’ll personally deliver and set up your cake, working closely with your venue coordinator to ensure everything runs smoothly and according to plan.
Ahead of the day, your venue will also be provided with a portion cutting guide, full ingredient and allergen information, and a copy of my public liability insurance via email.
All that’s left for you to do is relax and enjoy every moment of your celebration.
A taste of Fay's cakes
Cake tasting is available both before and after confirming your wedding cake order. While it isn’t essential, it’s something we highly recommend as part of the wedding cake experience.
Choosing your perfect wedding cake flavour should be just as exciting as the big day itself. That’s why I offer beautifully presented taster boxes, featuring six different flavoured cake slices to help you discover your favourites.
To make things even easier, your box includes a flavour menu where you can tick off your favourites and make notes as you go, helping you decide on your final selections with confidence.
Taster boxes are available to purchase at selected times throughout the year.
A delicious way to start your wedding cake journey!
