FAY'S PROCESS TO DESIGNING YOUR DREAM WEDDING CAKE
I will be with you every step of the way throughout your entire cake planning journey, starting from your initial enquiry all the way through to the delivery and set up of your wedding cake.
Fay's booking & design process
Securing Your Wedding Cake Date; When you're ready to book your wedding cake, get in touch to check availability for your chosen date. I recommend booking 12–24 months in advance, as I typically take on just one wedding cake per week (occasionally two, depending on the design, size, and location). This means my calendar fills up quickly. You don't need to decide on the specifics of your cake design at the time of booking, these details can be finalised closer to your wedding. A £100 booking fee secures your date in my diary.
Designing Your Cake; Once you have paid your booking fee, you can start gathering inspiration for your cake. To ensure the design reflects your vision, it’s ideal to begin planning after key details like your colour scheme, flowers, and attire have been decided. Consultations are typically scheduled within the year of your wedding to align with these details.
I’ll send you a short questionnaire to collect important information about your day. Using your responses, I’ll create a personalised mood board. From there, we can arrange a design consultation, whether in person, virtually, or via email, to refine your cake design, ensuring it complements your style and the overall theme of your wedding.
Designing your dream cake
Bespoke design appointments provide an excellent opportunity to delve into your wedding plans in greater detail.
Delivery & setup
Around 10 weeks before your wedding, we’ll revisit your booking form and flavour choices to ensure you are happy. Once these details are confirmed, your balance payment is due at 8 weeks, allowing you to forget all about your cake until the wedding day.
When you order your wedding cake from Fay's Cakes, to ensure your experience is as stress-free as possible, our service includes coordinating with your wedding suppliers, florists, planners, and stylists. The week of your wedding, I will also send a copy of my portion guide, allergens statement and my business insurance to your venue.
We will work with your wedding venue coordinator to schedule the delivery and set-up of your cake on the morning of your wedding. Due to the delicate nature of wedding cakes and sugar flowers, I will personally deliver and set up your cake at your venue.
With everything in place, all that's left for you to do is relax and enjoy your wedding day!
Cake taster boxes
Should you wish to sample my cakes in the comfort of your own home, you can do so by ordering a sample box.
A luxurious cake tasting box containing six of my most popular cake flavours. Each cake slice is individually hand-wrapped for freshness. Included is a menu card of all our cake flavour options, you can use this to mark off what flavours you enjoyed the best.
Fay's taster boxes are priced at £30 with an additional £8.95 for UK-wide postage and packaging.
Fay selects and reveals the cake flavours before they are released. Box contents may change without notice.
