Every cake begins with personal consultation, where we discuss your requirements and view designs to help achieve the perfect centrepiece for your celebration. Depending on the occasion you may wish to provide pictures, fabric swatches and the like to incorporate particular design ideas. We have produced a checklist to help you decide on your design if you wish. Below is a table which may help you estimate the size and number of cakes required to cater for your guests. Should you require more portions than your chosen design would yield, we can provide plain iced cakes to be cut and distributed at the same time as or in place of the formal decorated cake. |
