Wedding Cakes
Do you do cake tasting sessions?
Yes, we offer a personal cake taster and design consultation for wedding and large cake orders.
Consultations are held at our home in Bower Hinton for two people only.
A fee of £30.00 per couple is required at the time of booking.
Virtual consultations are also available for customers who live further afield or who are unable to meet in person.
A date is fixed, and a beautiful Cake Taster Box is sent prior to that date to enjoy either at the Zoom meeting, or before-hand. The fee for this service is £35.00 including postage.
The cost is deducted from your balance should you decide to book and the total price of the cake (not including delivery or any other additional costs) is over £400.00.
To purchase please order through the online Shop.
How do I pay?
We accept payment by bank transfer or credit card.
A £100.00 non-refundable Booking Fee is required to confirm your wedding cake order. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks before the delivery date, at which point all changes must be confirmed. Orders placed less than 4 weeks in advance of the delivery date are to be paid in full.
Orders are only confimed once we have received the Booking Fee or full payment and our Terms & Conditions have been signed.
Do you deliver? / Can I collect?
Delivery and set up of wedding cakes, tiered and large cakes carries a small charge within Somerset. Deliveries outside of Somerset will be calculated by distance and may incur time costs as well.
All deliveries and set ups are carried out by Cake Celebrations. However, we are happy for the venue to move the cake into position on the day, only if this is necessary for on the day planning, but as a rule we position and style the cake ourselves on the day.
We don't allow wedding cakes to be collected from our premises, unless those delivering are experienced professional wedding cake couriers with appropriate insurance.
For all wedding cakes there is no delivery charge within 10 miles of our premises in Bower Hinton for cakes over £200.00. Thereafter, delivery is charged at 50p per mile to and from the venue.
Please note wedding cake orders over £1,000 have no delivery charge up to the first 100 miles.
How far in advance do I need to order?
As early as possible!
Wedding cakes are usually the last thing on the list to organise but popular dates get booked up very quickly, so it is best to
contact us to check available as soon as you have arranged your date.
You can reserve your wedding date by placing a £50.00 'Save The Date' fee, which is non-refundable and is deducted from the final balance for the cake if you go ahead with the order.
However, your cake will not actually be booked in until the Booking Fee (£100.00) and our Terms and Conditions have been signed.
How much will my cake cost?
All our cakes are bespoke and made to order so we don't have fixed prices. You can view our prices on the Investment page to get an idea of starting prices.
Cost depends on how many you are catering for and the style of decoration, for example; a 3 tiered naked cake with fresh fruit will cost much less that a 5 tiered cake covered in handcrafted roses and piping. But please be assured that we can tweak designs to fit your budget.
Please
contact us with your ideas, your expected number of guests, and details of your venue and we will provide you with a ballpark figure.
Do you hire out cake stands?
We do, we are growing our collection so please contact us to see what is available.
The cost of hiring a stand is £10.00 with a £70.00 refundable breakages deposit.
We ask, if possible, that stands are returned on the Monday or Tuesday following the wedding. In some circumstance we are aware that you or a family member might find this impossible so we would charge for collecting the stand.
Can I afford my dream wedding cake?
No matter what size your budget is, we will ascertain what your dream cake is and adjust the design to fit your budget... you don't have to compromise, there is always a way to make the design fit your budget.
We can't agree on the flavour, can we have more than one?
It's your big day, you can have whatever your heart desires!
Depending on how many guests you are catering for you can usually have 3 flavours or more! Each tier can be a totally different flavour.
You can even have a tier or cutting cake to keep and take with you on honeymoon.
My Mum wants to bake our cake, can you decorate it for us?
Unfortunately we cannot decorate cakes that have not been baked by us.
We are getting married outside of Somerset, can you still deliver our wedding cake?
If you are outside Somerset or your wedding venue is further afield, we are more than happy to make, deliver and setup up your cake ourselves at an additional cost, this will all be discussed in your consultation.
I would like favours for my wedding, do you make them?
Yes, we can make an array of favours which can be place names for your wedding breakfast table or lovely thank you gifts for your guests.
The cost depends on the level of decoration and packing which can be discussed during your consultation.
