Crafting Your Dream Wedding Cake: Personalised, Stress-Free, and Exquisitely Designed

My aim is to make your handcrafted wedding cake design journey joyful and stress-free with expert advice and support.

I take a collaborative approach to design, getting to know your style and wedding aesthetic to create sketches that capture personal details, such as replicating the floral lace of your dress or fonts from your stationery. We’ll perfect the design together and style your cake to make it a true feature of your special day.

On your wedding morning, I will personally deliver and set up your dream wedding cake. Handpicked stands and display cases are available for hire. Delivery costs vary by venue; please enquire for a quotation.

cake flavours

Every cake story begins with utterly delicious flavors.

At The Little Cakery, I prioritise taste as much as design, using the finest ingredients like Danish butter, free-range eggs, freshly zested fruits, Madagascan vanilla, and Dutch cocoa.
 
Each cake tier features three layers of sponge with two generous layers of buttercream and conserves, standing a minimum of 6” high. Taller cakes may be used within the design or to give extra portions. My cakes are coated in creamy Belgian white chocolate ganache and finished with a thin layer of decadent Swiss fondant.
 
My menu offers a variety of flavours, and you can choose a different flavour for each tier creating a truly bespoke wedding cake to delight all your guests.

All cakes are prepared in an environment where allergens such as milk, gluten, eggs and nuts are present. Therefore, I do not cater to allergens or offer any free-from products. Full ingredient lists and allergens are available upon request.

design planning

Six months before your wedding day, I’ll ask you to create a mood board of your wedding aesthetic (dresses, flowers, stationery, table settings, and cake designs). Based on the mood board, initial design sketches are created, and we collaborate on any changes.

This is an optional step but one of the most popular – cake tasting! I have cake sample boxes available throughout the year for you to taste and pick your favourite flavours.

Six weeks before your wedding we will do a final run through of all little details. We will finalise on the day styling and set up times, along with your flavour choices for each tier of your cake. I will also liaise with any other suppliers if using fresh flowers or styling props on the day.
