After a quote? Prices depend heavily on the level of decorative intricacy involved and how labour-intensive the cake is to make - some can take hours, others days! Once you have an idea of what you’d like, just use our Enquiry Form to obtain a quote. If you are happy with your quote and would like to order, a more detailed consultation can be arranged with you if need be.
Sizing & Minimum Order Quantities
Traditional Cakes
Our smallest traditional cake will feed around 10-20 depending on overall height. Check out our portion guides.
Cupcakes, cake pops, mini cakes, macarons etc.
Our minimum order for is 12 of a single sponge flavour, this is the smallest batch we can make of a single recipe because everything is made to order. We do not keep stock of any cakes or cupcakes – it is all made fresh for you.
All order totals should be in multiples of 6 or 12 thereafter. When placing large orders the minimum order quantity for each flavour will increase in order for production to be feasible.
Deposits & Payments
For all advance orders we take a set deposit of £95 which holds the time required in our schedule. We reach a maximum capacity for cake orders each week and as we can’t predict when dates will fill, advance booking is highly recommended. Seasonal times can be busier.
The order balance will be invoiced 1-3 weeks before your event. Orders under a month away and/or under £95 in value are payable in full at the time of ordering for the booking to be reserved.
Once you have left your deposit or payment, we will turn down other work for the same time therefore all advance order payments and deposits are non-refundable in the event of cancellation, under any circumstances.
Collection & Delivery
You can collect cake orders by arrangement from our shop in Chelmsford during our opening hours which do vary. A mutually agreeable collection time will be discussed with you when ordering.
Cakes are fragile, so we offer a dedicated driver delivery service around most parts of London, Essex, Kent, Herts, Suffolk, Cambs and neighbouring counties with a full set up service for weddings and events. We can also travel further afield by special request.
Delivery covers our staff time and mileage and is charged at a flat rate of £12 plus 50p per mile charged on the journey to and from our shop. Please provide your venue postcode when enquiring for an exact delivery cost.

Samples
Beauty is more than skin deep, and our cakes are not just a pretty face…
Your wedding day is really important and we understand that you want everything to be just perfect, so we offer selected samples of our cakes.
Sample boxes are charged at £10 initially, but this cost will be refunded from the balance of any final orders placed with us. If you have made a booking and left your order deposit already, your sample box will then be free of charge.
All boxes contain a small portion (plenty for 2-4 people to try and mouthful) of all of the cake and icing combinations listed below.
Please note samples are produced in bulk at our shop so the flavour combinations are set. We are unable to produce any flavour combinations other than the below as samples, but when you come to order your actual cake you can choose from the wider selection of flavours above - with a little imagination!
Your sample box will contain one of each of the following:
- Victoria sponge (vanilla sponge, jam and vanilla buttercream)
- Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream
- Lemon cake with lemon buttercream
- Red Velvet sponge with vanilla buttercream
- Carrot cake with vanilla buttercream
- Caramel sponge with caramel icing
Samples are available to collect from our shop in Chelmsford or can be posted to you for an additional cost of £5 (postage costs are non-refundable). Please email in advance to request samples.
Allergen Information
All sample flavours contain milk, soy, egg, and wheat. Carrot also contains nuts. Please let us know if you have an allergy so we can exclude this from the box.

Cupcake Stand Hire
Presentation makes perfect...
Set up service
When you ask for personal set up & delivery for your event, we will liaise with venue staff regarding your cake set up to arrange a discreet time to go in and set up before your guests arrive.
Stands
Tiered Cake Stands – We do not hire cake stands for tiered cakes however most venues have traditional ‘pedestal’ stand or log slice for tiered cakes which we will use if you require. Otherwise all our cakes are made on an iced presentation board which can simply be placed on a table so there is no need for a stand when you order with us.
Cupcakes – We hire perspex cupcake stands and build these to fit the number of cupcakes you are having. Excess cupcakes that do not fit on the stand, usually over 80, can either be left in their boxes or cascade onto the table.
Prices
Cupcake stand hire costs £15. On top of this you will need to leave a deposit of £50 which is payable at the time of ordering. In the event of damage, loss or no return within 7 days of your event date this deposit will be retained. It is your responsibility to return the stand to us, collection of stands from venues after the event is not possible.
Got your own stand?
We are happy to set up your cakes on your own stand if you already have one. This will need to be assembled and of the appropriate size for when we arrive at the venue to set up. A 6 tiered stand will fit 60-80 cupcakes and 1 cutting cake on the top (this figure is approximate.) Our cutting cake boards measure 7 inches diameter, and the top tier should be of a similar size to accommodate this.
