Cake Information

Cake Prices

Everything we make is bespoke. We use fresh ingredients and all our cakes are made from scratch. Because of this, prices vary depending on style, size and detailing.

Celebration cakes start from £80, for Wedding Cakes and Sculpture / Extreme Cakes, please contact us.

To confirm your order and secure your date, we do require a non-refundable and non-transferable deposit of 50% of the total value (excluding delivery/setup costs) or £40 (whichever the greater) with your order within 24 hours of accepting our quote, or your booking may not be secured.

For orders less than £100

The final balance is required at least 3 working days before collection/delivery.

For orders of £100 or more

The final balance is required at least 7 working days before collection/delivery.

Payment Options

Deposits and final payments can be made by the following methods:

  • Bank Transfer – We will provide our bank details when you book.
  • Cash – In some circumstances, we may be able to accept a cash payment either in person or as a deposit to our account. We must still receive deposit payments before a booking is confirmed.

Delivery & Collection

Cakes may be collected from us by prior arrangement. There is no charge for this, but the time and date must be pre-arranged and strictly adhered to. Missed collections / appointments may be liable to a surcharge. We operate a very successful allocated collection service which is contact-free.

For deliveries within a 3 mile radius of Halesowen B63, we charge £5.

For each mile thereafter, a surcharge of 50p per mile will be added. Mileage is calculated using Google maps from the B63 location to and from the destination (a round trip).

This will be communicated to you when ordering and payable alongside the final balance.

Delivery, Setting Up, Dressing and Planner Liaison (Wedding Cakes and Large Celebration / Extreme Cakes Only)

We can arrange to deliver, set up, decorate and meet with your wedding planner if required at an additional cost. Please ask about prices and availability.

Consultations / Appointments / Walk Ins

We can only provide tasting and consultation at our premises for wedding cakes or larger bespoke orders.

As we are a home based bakery, any consultation or visit is strictly by appointment only and may be chargeable.

In the first instance, consultations (by email) are free. Additional consultations or consultations in person may be chargeable at £12.50 per half hour.

Any consultation fee paid will be deducted from the final price if an order is placed, subject to a minimum order value of £150.
