FAY'S PROCESS TO DESIGNING YOUR
DREAM WEDDING CAKE
Fay's booking & design process
Securing Your wedding Date; 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 take on 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. A £100 “Save the Date” booking fee, secures your wedding date and gives you complete peace of mind, knowing your cake is in safe hands. This fee is deducted from your final cake balance, and once your date is reserved, it’s firmly in my diary, leaving you free to focus on the rest of your wedding planning. (There’s no need to have your design finalised at this stage.)
Designing Your Wedding Cake
Your Design Consultation; Once you’ve secured your date with the £100 “Save the Date” booking fee, you’ll be invited to a design consultation with tasting which included as part of my service. This is my favourite stage of the process, bringing your ideas to life and designing a cake that reflects your unique style.
To ensure your cake ties in beautifully with the rest of your day, I recommend starting the design process once you have confirmed key elements such as your colour palette, dress/attire, room decor and flower choices. That way, your cake will perfectly complement your overall wedding look. (I do love a Pinterest board.)
Prior to your appointment, I’ll send you a simple pre-meeting checklist to learn more about your plans. Using the this information, I’ll create a personalised mood board to inspire design ideas.
From there, we can meet in person with cake tasting, of course! Connect over a video call with *tasting box delivered straight to your door or continue via email, whichever feels easiest for you. Together, we’ll refine your design until it feels just right.
No-Obligation Bespoke Design Consultations
If you’d like to explore design ideas and sample cake prior to paying the £100 “Save the Date” booking fee, you’re welcome to book an in-person or virtual Bespoke Design Consultation.
In-Person Design Consultation with Cake Tasting: £35
Virtual Design Consultation with Postal Tasting Box: £45
Should you then decide to go ahead and book with me, the consultation fee will be credited to your final wedding balance. (£10 P&P for tasting boxes is excluded.)
Design sketches are provided after your “Save the Date” booking fee has been received.
If you’d like to order a tasting box before booking a design consultation or paying the £100 “Save the Date”, you can find more information here.
