01. DUMMY TIERS
A dummy tier is indistinguishable in external appearance from a real tier. It is made from lightweight Styrofoam and decorated in the same way as a sponge cake. For certain designs, dummy tiers can be effective in adding height and drama without wasting a lot of cake. For certain designs, they can also help keep the cost down, if supplemented with “cutting cake”.
02. DELIVERY
Delivery fees will be determined by the mileage between your venue and our studio in Dulwich SE22 9JW and the amount of time needed for assembly. Generally, 3-tier wedding cakes are transported pre- stacked and do not require assembly time at the venue. Larger cakes are often transported semi-assembled and finished at the venue, or require full assembly at the venue.
03. CAKE STANDS
We do offer a cake stand hiring service, and it will be reflected in your final invoice. You will have the option to return the cake stand for a full refund or keep it as a memento of your special day.
04. DEPOSITS AND BOOKING FEES
Once you have received your wedding cake sketch and quote and approved your design, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. The remainder of the balance is due 6 weeks before your wedding date. If you love our style and know you would like us to design your cake but aren’t quite ready to discuss design in detail yet, you can put down a £500 non-refundable booking fee which will secure your date. This will be deducted from your final balance.
05. ANNIVERSARY CAKE
An additional replica top tier can also be provided, presented
separately in a 6″ x 6″ box tied with a ribbon, should you wish to freeze it to enjoy at a later date. Prices will depend on the design of your cake.
