OUR COUPLES Every couple we work with is different and

has different requirements

so no two cakes

dessert tables or sets of favours are the same Two things all of our couples have in

common is their love for each other and their

love of tradition including cutting the cake

We are proud of our diverse client base

working with couples of different cultural

backgrounds and faiths

We also learn a lot

from each couple we work with which helps

us to serve you better

Working with couples that are out of the area but are marrying locally and around the

UK is not unusual

We do consultations via

telephone and email and send cake tasting

boxes via courier

"Our cupcake tower made our wedding day so special, it was the centrepiece to the day and a delicious treat for all of our guests..." -Sophie & Alex

"The cake looked and tasted wonderful, so much so I wish there was more left"-Danetta & Matthew
