cakesFaqQuestion6
I welcome them to my cake studio with tea, coffee and cake! Then, I ascertain any thoughts that they might have already. If they wish, I then add my own and offer numerous ideas and options, most of which they haven't thought of. I physically build a 'mock up' cake as we go along, incorporating ideas which they like and discarding those that they don't! At the end of the consultation, which typically lasts between 1-2 hours, they usually take a photograph of their mock - up to show to others. THey leave very happy, with cake to take home!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
An initial brief chat followed by a consulatation here in my cake studio, for which I make no charge at all. I offer ideas or receive a couple's ideas (or both!) and 'mock up' a cake design, showing as many ideas as they wish. This is so different to simply showing photographs and creating drawings.
I am then able to offer a firm quotation which I guarantee is fully inclusive of everything, including delivery to their reception venue and which I also guarantee will not change, whatever happens!
Should a return visit or visits be requested, that is no problem at all and my couples are free to alter their chosen design partially or completely, should plans and themes change!
Finally, everything will be confirmed in writing - the appointment, the quotation, confirmation of the order and any subsequent amendments.
I want my couples to have complete faith in me - and in my cakes!
