From concept to delivery we are meticulous at every step. Discuss your cake design dreams with us and get an initial quote. From there we can arrange samples and chat about your plan for the big day. We liaise with venues and florists on your behalf and offer a full delivery and set up service so on your wedding day the cake is one thing you won't need to stress about!

Your wedding day is really important and we understand that you want everything to be just perfect, so we offer selected samples of our cakes.
Sample boxes are charged at £10 initially, but this cost will be refunded from the balance of any final orders placed with us. If you have made a booking and left your order deposit already, your sample box will then be free of charge.
All boxes contain a small portion (plenty for 2-4 people to try) of all of the cake and icing combinations listed below.
Please note samples are produced in bulk so we are unable to produce any flavour combinations other than the below as samples, but when you come to order your actual cake you can choose from the wider selection of flavours above - with a little imagination!
Your sample box will contain one of each of the following:
Samples are available to collect from our shop in Chelmsford or can be posted to you for an additional cost of £5 (postage costs are non-refundable). Please email in advance to request samples.
Allergen Information
All sample flavours contain milk, soy, egg, and wheat. Carrot also contains nuts, please let us know if you have an allergy so we can exclude this from the box.
