Why Share Your Vision with Cakey Cakes
It's Simple
I keep things simple by showing you how I'd tell your story with cake-through design boards, inspirational images and straightforward pricing options.
a memorable celebration
Because your story is unique, friends and family will share the experience of the celebration. From the design of your choice, the flavours and its style.
Stress-free
Tell me your vision so I can organise the logistics of delivery, set up and instructions for the event coordinators when it comes to serving the cake.
Get Started
1. Share Your Vision and Theme
Using photos are much easier to show than describing them. I invite you to share your vision, style, and theme. A simple screen shot of your pinterest board (like the image shown) is a great way to show me the style you have in mind. Whether it's a romantic garden wedding, a modern and sleek affair, or a whimsical fairytale, I will translate your ideas into a visually stunning and delicious masterpiece.
2. Personalisation and Inclusivity
Share your story in 2-3 sentences. How you met, your hobbies and your favourite cake flavours. Tying in the details will allow your guests to share a meaningful experience that's unique to your story.
3. The Reception Venue
The venue plays a significant role in the cake design process. If your venue is at a winery, then ruffled buttercream with dusty pink and creamy white roses would complement the luxurious wooden interiors. Your input is invaluable, and by collaborating on these details, we will craft a cake that perfectly aligns with your aesthetic preferences.
4. Budget-Friendly Solutions
I understand that weddings involve budget considerations. Rest assured that I am here to provide creative and budget-friendly solutions without compromising on quality or beauty. By openly discussing your budget, we can explore design options, flavours, and decorations that fit your financial plan, ensuring you have a stunning cake that delights your taste buds and your wallet.

Wedding planning can sometimes be overwhelming, but I am here to make the cake planning process stress-free and enjoyable for you and your partner.

FAQ
You can still get in touch and discuss your ideas. But once you've decided on the look and feel of the wedding, is it an excellent time to get in contact about the design; then, I will proceed. Let me know which stage you are at in planning, and I can work with you.
Whilst it's always best to book 9-12 months ahead, I recommend going with what you're most comfortable with. If you're happy with the design and the cake size but need to figure out your guest numbers, we base it on the maximum guest numbers. Then the month before the wedding, I would confirm if any changes need to make to the cake.
Yes, we can use your cake stand, knife and server. It can withstand at least 10kg in weight, is sturdy and has a flat top to allow for a more extensive cake base. If, on the day, I feel the cake stand supplied isn't sturdy enough to support the cake, I will place the cake on the table to ensure it can safely stand for a few hours on display.
If the cake is a single tier, I'm happy for someone to pick up the cake for you. Two-tier and taller cakes must be set up and delivered by myself and the team. It will allow for last-minute touch-ups on the cake if required.
There are a few factors to consider when it comes to choosing the size of your wedding cake- guest number, design and budget. I've written a wedding cake guide which you can read here.
