Q: What does the decorated cake consist of?

A: A tried and tested fresh baked cake is firstly torted into layers and brushed with your choice of chocolate / flavoured ganache or Butter Cream. Then, a covering of Ganache, or Butter Cream ,as per your choice, all over. The cake is then covered and decorated in fondant and edible fondant decorations and fondant flowers.  Please Note: flowers- while edible- once wired into a bouquet or spray they are attached to wires, thus requiring removal prior to cutting/serving. Sugar- glued on flowers are fine.

Q: How long will my cake last?

A: Your cake is made fresh to your order at the last possible time for decorating before your pick up. If left un-cut, provided it’s stored correctly, (in the cake box in cool dry place)  your cake will be good for at minimum 5-7 days pretty much as fresh as the day it was picked up.   This is due to the cakes freshness and moisture being ‘sealed’ in by the ganache and fondant.

DO NOT store your cake in the refrigerator prior to your event. Fondant ‘sweats’ in moist environment and will go tacky and any flowers may droop.

AFTER your event this is not as important, and a container in fridge will maintain the cut freshness longer. This is personal choice.

Or in airtight container in cool dry place for 5-7 days will help prevent fondant sweat.

Any toppers/ flowers and pretty things you wish to hang onto may be kept in a small cardboard box. Clear acetate boxes in display cabinet also look nice but colours fade with the light over time.  

Q: How do I know what size cake I need?

A: This is dependant completely upon the number of people you wish to serve your cake to.

Cake Serving sizes as a General guide are:

Coffee Finger serve:  1 inch x inch

Dessert serves: 1.5 x 2 inch

Please specify which size serve you wish to offer, and the number of guests.

For Birthday and Novelty cakes 2 to 3 weeks is preferred but also design dependant
