cakesFaqQuestion1
Can I say my own? It was the first cake I was involved with, I helped design it and looking back, this is where it all started for me.
cakesFaqQuestion2
Our style could be described as timeless, elegant and sophisticated, with a contemporary edge and a touch of whimsy, but we are lead by our clients ideas.
cakesFaqQuestion3
I started Southwell Cakery from scratch after being made redundant. I have worked hard, and my business has grown, and it has become my fourth 'baby'.

As soon as you decide you want to use a supplier, book them.

I love typography on wedding cakes. Including your initials, or a special message is a lovely, subtle personal touch.

We invite all couples to a free, no obligation consultation at our studio in Southwell. Here there is the opportunity to view our range of show cakes, try samples and discuss in detail the couples wedding cake ideas. From there, we raise a quotation(s) and forward to the client. It maybe that there are further discussion, and alterations made to the design. We keep couples dates penciled in our diary for 14 days after a quotation is given. A £100 non refundable/non transferable deposit secures a wedding booking, designs are finalised 6-8 weeks before the event with balance payments due one month prior to the wedding.
Sugar flowers are made a few weeks before the wedding, with the cake being started four days before. We liaise with the venue and any other suppliers involved with the cake to confirm arrangements. One the day, we personally deliver and set up the wedding cake so it is ready before any guest arrive.

We name all our cakes after our Brides, most are bespoke one offs, but our 'Stephanie' and 'Isabella' designs have inspired many more creations.
cakesFaqQuestion8
There is something original about all of our wedding cakes. We love to use ideas suggested by couples to create a unique and personal wedding cake.
cakesFaqQuestion9
I've always been creative and have previously worked in fashion and publishing. When I was made redundant I decided to take the opportunity to turn a passion into a business.

A grand, skyscraper of a cake with lots of detail and handmade sugar "Look at me" flowers.
