Information
INGREDIENTS
Only the best ingredients are used in my cakes, I will never use cheaper alternatives.
CAKES
There are a variety of cakes for you to choose from: Chocolate mud cake, Chocolate cake, Madeira sponge cake, Coconut cake, Lemon sponge and Fruit cake. I can also provide eggless, dairy free & gluten free cakes, please contact me for details.
You may choose any of the cakes seen on this website, where space is available, you may have a message piped onto your cake, in any colour. The colours of the icing on your cake can also be changed if you wish.
Cakes can be adapted to suit your portion size, where possible.
You are welcome to bring your own design or picture of a cake. Alternatively, I will help you to design the cake that you would like.
I would also be happy to provide only the decorations if you prefer to bake your own cake.
Small samples of my cakes are available on request.
WEDDING CAKES
Wedding cakes can be stacked in a variety of ways including: American style stacking where each tier sits directly on the other. Semi-stacked where the bottom tiers are stacked directly on each other & the top tier is set on pillars. Cakes can also be displayed using chrome stands, the most popular being E or S stands, these can be left as they are or wrapped in a complementary ribbon to your cake. Traditionally your cakes can be separated by pillars of various sizes & shapes. There are other options available also.
In addition, apart from cakes on the chrome stands, you may like to have your cake set on a silver or gold base (seen in some of the pictures on this site)
Please note: A charge of £10 and a refundable deposit of £30 will be required to hire the stands or bases.
THE PROCESS OF ORDERING & PAYMENT
Initially, for wedding cakes, you will need to make an appointment to see me & discuss your requirements. I then prefer my clients to have time to think about their choice if needed. Once a decision is made then a deposit of 20% will be needed to secure your cake. An exact price of the cake chosen will be given at this time. The remaining balance will be due 4 weeks before the date the cake is to be ready for.
For all other celebration cakes, you can make an appointment with me to discuss your cake ideas otherwise bookings can be taken over the phone, please contact me for details. Payment for celebration cakes will require a deposit of 50% with the remainder payable one week before the cake is needed if paying by cheque or on the day of collection if paying by cash. If the cake is ordered less than 2 weeks before needed then payment will be required in full. Payments can be accepted by cheque, cash or bank transfer. Cheques made payable to Sugar Crafted Cakes. Please contact me for my address or bank details.
