Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cater for allergies or dietary requirements?

Please let us know about allergies or dietary requirements when you enquire. We’ll discuss what we can accommodate and share ingredient information. As our cakes are prepared in a kitchen that handles common allergens, we cannot guarantee any item is completely free from cross-contamination.

How far in advance should I order?

We recommend getting in touch as early as possible, especially for weddings and busy celebration dates. Your order is only confirmed once we’ve agreed the details and availability with you.

Can I personalise my cake?

Absolutely. Share your occasion, preferred flavours, colours and design inspiration when you enquire, and we’ll work with you to create a cake that feels just right.

How should I store my cake?

Storage depends on the cake and its fillings. We’ll provide care instructions with your order; in general, keep cakes in a cool, dry place and follow any refrigeration guidance we give you.
