Ordering Help Guide
Choose your size…
When deciding what size cake you would like, consider how many people you expect to be at the celebration and whether you would like some left over for afterwards. Although please note the height of your cake will vary depending on the design you choose – in general cakes will vary between 3” up to around 7” for most drip cakes. You will have a fair idea of how deep a cake is from the pictures of each cake in our online store. Also, bear in mind that sugar-paste covered cake portions will be bigger taking in to account the thickness of the sugar-paste icing and also an extra layer of almond paste on fruit cakes.
We give the following guide of the approximate portions you can expect from a general sponge or fruit cake – work on the basis that a sponge cake portion is two-by-one inch square, and a fruit cake portion is one-by-one inch square.

Select your design…
What you should consider when choosing a design – your budget that you have in mind is probably your first question and the best place to start, and from there it would all depend on how big the occasion is, and how imaginative or extravagant you would like to be! Consider who the event is for and base your cake design on their hobbies and interests, or if you would like to keep it more traditional then the more classic designs look great too!
All cakes can be finished off nicely with our range on candles and indoor fireworks.
