I don't like fruitcake; can we have a sponge?
Yes, of course. You may choose any flavour you wish from a tried and tested chocolate fruit nut and biscuit cake (known as a fridge cake) for the chocoholics amongst us, lemon sponge with lemon butter cream, chocolate sponge with chocolate butter cream (or vanilla if you prefer), coffee sponge, coffee and walnut sponge with coffee butter cream, classic carrot cake with cream filling the options are endless and we are happy to welcome your input for a new flavour option

Some couples like to have mixed tiers to cater for all tastes so you could have a bottom tier of 12" Fruit Cake  , 9" Rich Chocolate sponge Cake and a 6" Lemon sponge Cake on top, all decorated in a matching style, the fruit must always be the bottom tier as it is much heavier than the sponges.

 If you require mainly sponge and just a little fruit cake we can provide a separate cutting cake decorated in matching icing to cater for this. 

Can you decorate a cake made by my mum ?
Your Mum may have a favorite family recipe and we would be delighted to complete the cake for you. It is better to provide a completely UN-iced cake - no offence to your Mum's culinary skills but we've had a few odd shapes to contend with in the past

Can we have fresh flowers?
We are happy to supply a plain iced cake and deliver this to your venue for your florist to decorate in a style to match your Wedding bouquets. Alternatively if you have not yet organized your flowers we have a wonderful florist Maria Dobbie  you will find on our links page who would be delighted to discuss your flowers for your wedding day and also your cake.

Can we keep the top tier for an Anniversary?
Fruitcakes can only safely be kept for a few months once decorated and sponges need to be eaten within a week. It is possible to freeze cakes and then re-ice them for an anniversary, though you may prefer to do this with a larger, middle tier. Better still is to order a fresh Anniversary or Christening Cake made to the same delicious recipe!

How should I store sugarcraft bouquets and decorations?
These should be kept out of direct sunlight, which can fade colours. Ideally flowers need a dry environment with some air circulation, inside a glass cabinet would be ideal. Perspex containers can also be purchased so you can put your flowers on display and continue to enjoy them long after your Wedding.

I've chosen the design I want but I'm going to need a lot more cake to feed my guests.
Square cutting cakes can be provided, these will be covered in the same style as your main Wedding Cake and cut behind the scenes to provide extra slices for all your guests.

I've really set my heart on a three tier cake but we'll never eat that much!
Certain tiers can easily be substituted for dummy cakes, which are iced in exactly the same way as the real cake, and no one will be able to tell the difference, so long as you don't cut into the dummy at the reception!
