FAQ
Common Questions Before You Book
These are the practical points most clients want clarified before they move from an idea to a confirmed commission.
How far in advance should I enquire?
For weddings and larger event cakes, earlier is better because dates are limited by production and delivery capacity. Celebration cakes should ideally be requested at least two weeks ahead, and premium event work is usually booked further in advance.
Is my date secured when I send the form?
No. Dates are only secured once your quote has been approved and the deposit has been paid. Until then, availability can change, especially around peak weekends and seasonal periods.
Do you deliver and set up the cake?
Yes. Delivery and setup are available across Manchester and the North West, with cost based on distance, timing, and the level of installation required. Larger tiered cakes are usually better handled by the studio from transport through to final placement.
Can I send inspiration images or event styling references?
Yes. References are useful, especially for colour direction, floral styling, and overall mood. The goal is to interpret the brief into something that feels right for your event rather than replicate another cake exactly.
What affects the final quote?
Guest count, number of tiers, finish complexity, sugar florals, hand modelling, travel distance, and venue setup requirements all affect pricing. The guide prices on the site are planning figures rather than fixed package rates.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Dietary requests are reviewed case by case. Please include any allergy or ingredient notes in the enquiry so suitability can be confirmed before moving to quote stage.
