Booking a wedding cake is so much more than just choosing your design and flavours, although the latter is rather fun! Its about working alongside each other and putting your trust in me to create a work art that represents you both as a couple, and that compliments your wedding day perfectly, as well as tasting exceptional.
From the moment you catch a glimpse of one of my cakes, to the moment your cake is sat pride of place at your venue, I endeavour to help you throughout the whole process.
Take a look below at the step by step process of how things work when you enquire about your wedding cake with me.
As soon as you have booked your venue it is best to get in touch to check my availability, dates can book up quickly, especially popular ones and hate for you to miss out. I am the only designer, baker and creator at Cakes by Crystal; therefore there is a limit to the number of cakes I make each week, which ensures I can give each one the love and attention it deserves.
If you like my work and know you would like to book me to make your wedding cake, then you can secure your date with a non-refundable £100 deposit and we can finalise the design and flavour of your wedding cake at a later date. Otherwise, have a little read below of how it usually works…
If you haven't done so already, pop over an enquiry via 'contact me' to check if your date is available. It will ask you some details about your day including what your ideas and inspirations are for your wedding cake. You might have a clear idea of what you want or perhaps at this stage you might be unsure. But don't worry as I can help with the design. Any ideas at this point help me to work out a rough quote based on the information you provide.
Once you have secured your date with a deposit you can relax, the next bit is the fun part. I will be in touch at the beginning of the year your due to wed, to start discussing the final design of your cake. Your ideas and vision can change during the planning of your wedding so it is best to have your colours, flowers and decor / style sorted before deciding on the design of your cake.
This is also your opportunity to order a box of tasters, available for collection or delivery straight to your door. You can choose any six flavours from my menu to help you decide which flavours will feature in each tier of your cake. This is without doubt, everyone's favourite part of the process.
There is a £45 fee per box including next day delivery postage.
Once we have the design finalised we can think about the set up. How you style your cake can transform it. I will work alongside your venue / stylist to ensure your cake is the centrepiece of your reception. Like Johnny once said, no one puts baby in the corner, and the same can be said for your wedding cake.
Now the countdown to seeing your cake in real life is on. Between now and your big day I will be doing lots of things behind the scenes such as liaising with your venue / stylist / florist and putting things into place for the making of your wedding cake.
A month prior to your wedding day I will be in touch to confirm all details, design, flavours, timings and everything else, is correct. This is also when your remaining balance is due.
After that all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding day, and a slice of cake!
Please include your wedding venue address when enquiring about your wedding cake so I can then include this in your quote.
All celebration cakes are collection only, however tiered celebration cakes can be delivered for a fee. A £100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your wedding cake order. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks prior to your wedding. Payments can be made by bank transfer. Please contact for details.
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your celebration cake order. The remaining balance can be paid at any point before but not later than 2 days prior to collection.
