Ordering Process

The wedding cake booking process.
 

At Cakes by Natasha Baker, our goal is to create the perfect cake for your wedding day. Below is a step by step guide to the bespoke cake service we offer. 

​

1. Availability

I encourage you to get in touch to see if your wedding date is available as soon as you have secured your wedding venue. As I book a limited number of weddings each month, I recommend initiating your enquiry at least 9-12 months in advance to avoid disappointment.

​

2. Complimentary Consultation

If your date is available we will arrange a zoom consultation where we can meet to discuss design ideas, size, flavours, delivery and any other necessary details. Please feel free to share with me any photos, colour/fabric swatches etc that you would like to use for inspiration beforehand. I also welcome couples to discuss their budget for their wedding cake at this stage so we can design the perfect cake to meet your expectations. I will then put together a preliminary design and general estimate for your cake. If you are have to proceed then at this point I charge a £100 non-refundable deposit to secure your date. 

​

Cake Tasting

If you would like to order some cake samples these are available for collection at set times throughout the year. Our tasting boxes includes 5 pre-chosen flavours for a £30 charge. Please see the link for our next tasting date.

3. Finalising Design

Once your date is secured I will finalise the cake design and put together a detailed description of all the cake details, flavours, any special requests, delivery and a final price. I am on hand throughout this ordering process for any amendments you wish to make to your order. 

​

4. Final Details

Around six weeks before your wedding day I will confirm all the details with you and at this point the final balance is due, which will include the deduction of your deposit. 

Two weeks before your wedding day I will make contact with your wedding venue to finalise arrangements and will be in touch with your florist (if using fresh florals) to finalise necessary arrangements.
