FAY'S PROCESS TO DESIGNING YOUR DREAM WEDDING CAKE
Fay will be with you every step of the way throughout your entire cake planning journey, starting from your initial enquiry all the way through to the delivery and set up of your wedding cake.
Fay's booking & design process
Booking Process: When enquiring about my services, it would be helpful if you could share your wedding date, venue, and an estimate of your guest numbers. With this information, I can provide a rough price guide and a delivery quote to help you plan.
I typically take on one wedding cake per week, sometimes two, depending on the details of the cake such as design, size, and location. For this reason, I recommend reserving your date as early as you can to ensure availability.
Securing Your Date: If I’m available for your date, you can reserve it with a £100 "Save the Date" fee, which will be deducted from your final cake balance. This confirms your booking, allowing you to focus on other wedding plans without worrying about your cake designer. There’s no need to finalise your cake design at this stage.
Designing Your Cake: Once your date is secured, feel free to start gathering inspiration for your cake. To make sure the design aligns with your vision, it’s best to begin once key details like your colour scheme, flowers, and dress/attire are decided. Consultations are usually scheduled within a year of your wedding, with about six months beforehand being an ideal time for most couples, as most of the major elements are finalised by then.
I’ll send you my useful design checklist to collect the important details, and based on that, I’ll create a personalised mood board. From there, we can schedule a design consultation, whether in person, virtually, or via email to refine your cake design so it complements your wedding style perfectly.
Designing your dream cake
Bespoke design appointments provide an excellent opportunity to delve into your wedding plans in greater detail.
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!
Cake taster boxes
Should you wish to sample my cakes in the comfort of your own home, you can do so by ordering a sample box.
A luxurious cake tasting box containing six of my most popular cake flavours. Each cake slice is individually hand-wrapped for freshness. Included is a menu card of all our cake flavour options, you can use this to mark off what flavours you enjoyed the best.
Fay's taster boxes are priced at £30 with an additional £8.95 for UK-wide postage and packaging.
Fay selects and reveals the cake flavours before they are released. Box contents may change without notice.
