There's lots of information about cake costs on my Prices and sizes page to give you some indication of budget. Wedding cakes per se do not cost more than a standard birthday cake, however there is much more that goes on behind the scenes with a wedding cake than a cake for any other occasion, and that admin time is factored into your quote. The cost of your wedding cake includes all the planning that goes on before I start baking, but also the cost of liaising with your venue or wedding co-ordinator, chatting to your florist about what flowers are safe to use on your cake, creating ingredient and allergen sheets for your caterers, explaining to your mother-in-law that cakes are different now to how they were in the 80s... the list goes on and on! The set-up time for a wedding cake is also significantly more that for a birthday cake. I can often spend over 2 hours on-site at your venue getting the cake set up and looking spectacular for when you arrive. I do not charge a wedding cake premium, but the job is much more involved, so does cost more.

Absolutely. You can choose any flavours you like. You could choose a flavours that suit a theme, like chocolate-lover, citrus, fruity, boozy, floral etc, or you can choose a completely random selection of flavours.

Each tier is completely separate so the flavours don't have to 'match'.

For food safety reasons, only a Let’s Eat Cake representative can add fresh flowers to your cake. Some flowers are poisonous, or can cause skin, mouth and digestive irritation, even if you don’t eat them but just have them sitting on your cake for any period of time. Even if the flowers are inherently 'edible', chemicals are used in floristry to make flowers last longer. These are fine for flowers, but not for food. Your florist is not paid or trained to think about flowers and food, but I am. To be food safe, flowers need to be treated and prepared before being added to your cake. I am happy to work with your florist to have them supply the flowers for the cake prior to the event, to supply them on that day with time for me to prepare them, or to supply the flowers myself, based on your specific requirements. 

I make wedding cake taster boxes once each quarter. The box contains 4 of my most popular flavours, and will be enough for you to share with your beloved, plus your parents or in-laws, or maybe a bridesmaid.

Yes. I will deliver your cake to your venue, set it up in your reception room, and let your venue/catering staff have all the information they need to care for your cake once I'm off site. You have enough to think about on your big day. Let me worry about getting your cake to where it needs to be.
