Frequently Asked questions

  • Currently, we only cater for egg and dairy (milk) allergies. Only our vanilla and chocolate cakes can be made eggless, dairy free and/or vegan. Whilst we do not guarantee a nut-free kitchen, all of our bakes are naturally nut free unless specified (e.g. pistachio cake). We currently do not cater for gluten-free.

    Our kitchen handles ingredients with the following allergens (although not included in every cake flavour):

    Eggs, Gluten, Dairy (milk, butter, yoghurt), Nuts (almonds), Peanuts, Soya

    Our cakes are suitable for halal customers but please state this on booking as vanilla extract contains ethanol. This can be replaced for a halal alternative. Our cakes are also suitable for vegetarians.

  • In general, the cost of a bespoke cake is determined by how many people your cake should feed and the design. Depending on these answers, the time taken to make the cake is taken into consideration and this makes up your final quote. Get in touch to enquire about a custom cake quote for you.
