information
Your finished cake will be delivered to your venue the morning of the wedding. I will complete the cake set up, ensuring all necessary information has been passed to the venue co-ordinator. Leaving you to have the most wonderful day.
your wedding day
Once your beautiful cake is designed and finalised an order form will be sent to you to check and approve. The final balance for your wedding cake will be due eight weeks before your wedding date. I will liaise with your florist and wedding venue to ensure everything is perfect for your big day.
finer details
If you are happy with this quote, a £100 booking fee is required to secure your date. A zoom consultation will then be booked approximately six months before the wedding to discuss the style, design and flavours in more detail. A taster box will also be sent to you to assist in the decision making process.
securing the date
To begin with, please contact Layers & Graces (L&G) with details of your big day; this can be done via email or using my contact form. Once I have these, I can then check availability for the date you require and provide you with an estimated quote.
initial details
the order process
Thank you, Sarah, for making us an amazing wedding cake for our big day. The cake looked amazing and tasted even better than it looked. Sarah offered a very professional service from start to finish. We would definitely recommend her services to all our friends and family for future weddings and events.

The number of guests that you will cater for will determine the size of your cakes. Every cake I create is completely bespoke, so it is difficult to have a set price list. To enable you to get an idea, the below starting price list has been created as a guide.
Decorations including fresh flowers, sugar flowers, ruffles, metallic effects and stencilling will all be at an additional cost.
Layers & Graces also offer bespoke cakes for special occasions. Please send us an email detailing your requirements and we will be in touch to discuss in more detail and quote.

the cake flavours
Every cake at Layers & Graces is freshly made to order. We believe that our cakes should not just look beautiful but taste delicious too therefore we only use the freshest and finest ingredients.
All of our cakes, biscuits and treats are produced in an environment where gluten, nuts, dairy and eggs are present. We cannot guarantee that a product will be 100% free. So please let us know at the time of ordering if you have any specific dietary requirements.
Please see below for details of our delicious cake flavours:
How soon should we book our wedding cake?
The majority of my enquiries start 12-18 month before the wedding date. If you have your venue booked then this is an ideal time to get in touch and secure your date.
Do you offer Taster Boxes?
Yes! When you book in with me I will send you a taster box to help choose your cake flavours. I also offer the option to purchase a taster box before booking. This allows you to try my cake before you book (although I am unable to hold dates).
Do i need to pay a deposit?
Yes, I require a £100 booking fee to be paid to secure your wedding date. The remaining balance is then due eight weeks before the wedding. If you haven't had a taster box this is included in the booking fee along with a zoom call to discuss your cake design.
Do you deliver the wedding cake?
Yes! As part of your initial quote I will advise my delivery and set up fee for your venue. I will deliver and set up your wedding cake the morning of your wedding cake so it is ready for you when you arrive!
what size wedding cake do i need?
As a general rule I advise to cater for 75-80% of your guest numbers. The portion size I ask venues to cut the cake into is 1"x1"x5". You can of course choose a smaller or larger cake. I also offer faux tiers if you want a bigger cake without the additional cake to eat.
Do you hire out cake stands?
Yes, I have lots of various cake stands and filler tiers which can be hired for a small fee. I request a security deposit on top of the fee which is returned once the hired items are received back within 5 days of the wedding.
