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.

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

- 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.

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.
