If you book ahead, using “hold the date” you are securing your date with us. Many of our clients don’t finalise the design of their cake until other wedding décor and themes have been finalised.
Similarly, if you book a design, but change your mind we are happy to redesign your cake up to the following deadlines.
If you have a spring/summer wedding (May1st-Sep 30th), we will need your final design and flavours by 31st March of the year of your wedding.
If your date is outside this range, we would ask that you finalise your cake no later than 2 months before for weddings in Jan, Feb, March, April, Nov, December.
For weddings in October, we ask that if possible you finalise your design by the end of May.
(NB: fruitcake tiers are baked and matured with brandy/madeira, three months before the wedding. Therefore, this is the last point to agree tier shapes and sizes for fruit tiers. We do bake some “emergency” fruitcakes ahead for last minute bookings, but cannot guarantee availability of particular sizes unless you book three months or more ahead.)
