Start early!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Plan ahead as much as possible to ensure you enjoy the days leading up to your big day
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
There are so many! But one memorable one was a little hand-written note to each guest on the tables. Such a simple detail but very special.
cakesFaqQuestion5
Individual lego place settings relevant to each guest - so adorable and lovely keepsakes for guests.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We'll get together over a video call to discuss all the details of your cake - size, flavours, design, where it will be displayed, delivery - and you'll receive your cake tasters in the post to enjoy at home. I'll then create your designs and send over with your quotes shortly after your consultation. Once you're happy with a design, a 20% deposit will secure your wedding date. Nearer your date, we'll firm up all the remaining details so that there's no last minute stress.
cakesFaqQuestion6
We'll set up a consultation, where you can come and taste some of our signature cake flavours and discuss design ideas. If you have any ideas beforehand, send these over so that we can collect together some ideas to discuss together. Sharing Pinterest boards are also a great way to show what kind of cake you're looking for, and if you have any dress swatches, photos or invitations you can share, these are also a great source of design inspiration.
After the consultation, I'll draw up some designs and send them over to you. We can go back and forth until you are completely happy with the design. At this point, I'll ask for a deposit to secure the booking.
In the run up to your wedding, I'm happy to liaise with your venue, catering company or florist to ensure everything runs like clockwork on the day. And of course I'll be working tirelessly to make sure you have the most beautiful cake for your special day.
What is your signature cake?
I don't have one as each couples' cake is bespoke! But I love working with pressed edible flowers, sugar flowers and creating cheeky cats and dogs out of sugar to nibble the base of the cake!
cakesFaqQuestion7
I have so many favourite flavours, but my Red Velvet is the absolute best-seller. My Spiced Apple & Chai is also a favourite with autumn weddings.
What is the most original creation you have baked for a wedding?
One of my all time favourite cake toppers was an intricate dragon topper for a Game of Thrones-themed wedding.
cakesFaqQuestion8
A 7 tier showstopper featuring the couple's travels all over the world - each tier was a different country.
Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.
I gained my Patisserie diploma at Le Cordon Bleu and shortly afterwards set about creating Caked. I always knew I wanted to own my own business and provide a 5* service for my couples.
cakesFaqQuestion9
It all started with a love of home baking, and quickly escalated after completing the Foundation Sugarcraft Skills course at Squires Kitchen in Farnham. From there, I started making all sorts of cakes and wedding cakes for friends and family, and more and more people were asking me to make cakes, so I started charging for my services. Finally in 2015 I quit my job in media to train at Le Cordon Bleu in London. I graduated in early 2016 as a fully qualified pastry chef, and opened Caked.
