Your Wedding Cake Consultation

Cakes of Distinction specialises in creating exquisite handcrafted cakes for all occasions. Every wedding cake is customised to reflect your individual personality & event style.

Maria is an emphatic believer that a cake must taste as good as it looks and offers a variety of delicious flavours and fillings which are perfectly paired and are all made from scratch using high-quality natural ingredients and finished off as elegant tall tiers. There’s no need to stress about your special day, leave it to us to wow your guests, allowing us to create that luxury wedding cake that you deserve.

1.

We invite you to contact Maria either by phone or email to book a suitable time to pop into our store for a chat.

2.

During your consultation, we will listen to your ideas and needs and offer our thoughts, outlining some ideas that we believe will work with your style of wedding.

3.

To help you decide on cake flavour(s), we will offer you a tasting of up to 8 of our most popular cake flavours with fillings to sample during your consultation. If you are happy for Maria to save your date, a 50% deposit will be required in order to secure your booking.

4.

Two weeks prior to your event date, the remaining balance will be due. We will contact your florist if they are supplying flowers for your cake to make sure that everything will be safe (non toxic or poisonous) otherwise we will discuss alternatives. The week leading up to your wedding, we will contact your venue to discuss bump-in times and to make sure we can set up your wedding cake as we had originally planned with you.

Contact Cakes of Distinction and make a time to pop in and have a chat. No obligation. We will discuss design ideas, inspiration, colour options and some of the finer details of your order.

You will leave with a design specification of your unique and beautiful cake and we will follow up with a written quote of cost soon after.
