Delivered by us

Tiered wedding cakes are transported in sections and assembled at the venue, so they arrive exactly as designed.

Set up on your stand

We position the cake on your chosen stand or table, dress it with any fresh or sugar flowers, and photograph it before we leave.

Coordinated with your venue

We liaise with your venue or planner on access and timings so the cake is in place well before your guests see the room.

Quoted with your cake

Delivery and professional set-up are quoted alongside your cake, based on the design and the distance involved.
