We are currently working on our guides and hope to have the online by the end of February. Meantime, hopefully the FAQs will answer some of your questions!
How much does a Too Good To Eat wedding cake cost?
All wedding cakes are individually designed which means it is impossible for us to set standard prices. However, if you find yourself restricted to a budget, we are completely flexible and are confident we can arrange a design for those who need to spend less. Take a look at the Our Cakes page for a better idea of what we offer.
The cake I like has two tiers but that won't be enough to feed all of my guests. What are my options?
All cake designs that you will view at our showroom, in our leaflets and in our Gallery are just examples of what others have chosen in the past to suit their own unique requirements. We realise that the number of guests varies for every wedding so if you want the look of three tier but not sure it will be enough, we simply make the cakes in a bigger size.
I hear that square cakes are bigger and easier to cut than other shapes. Is this true?
No. All cakes are as easy to cut and work with as each other. It is assumed that square cakes feed more people as they have "corners" where a round cake does not. This is not the case because you choose your design first, then the size of cake you require in that shape. Pick a design and shape and let us worry about the amount you require!
Do I need to stick with the traditional Rich Fruit Cake?
Although many claim to dislike the taste of Rich Fruit Cake, we have been overwhelmed by the amount of people, whose opinions have changed after trying ours, telling us that ours is the most delicious and moist they have ever tasted! However, we realise we cannot change everyone's mind so we offer a delicious variety of alternative cakes from Light Fruit through to Madeira Sponge and Coffee and Walnut! Click here to take a look at cake types for a list of what's available.
And can I mix and match what types of cake I choose?
Of course you can! In a three tier cake you could have the bottom tier Rich Fruit, the middle a Carrot Cake and the top a light Madeira Sponge. We will advise you on what types of cake to use for each layer depending upon their weight etc. Click here to take a look at cake types for a list of what's available.
I don't like nuts in my Rich Fruit Cake. Can I have it without?
Yes! Just tell us if you want anything changed when it comes to the recipes and we'd be more than happy to accommodate you.
PLEASE NOTE - We do not guarantee that recipes do not contain nuts, as we cannot guarantee that our supplier's products do not contain nuts.
Can I have an entirely chocolate cake?
Yes! We specialise in designing and making delicious Chocolate cakes. The recipe is our indulgent Rich Chocolate Fudge Cake and can be decorated with chocolate ganache and chocolate curls or flakes. You can still incorporate colours in decoration with ribbon and flowers from your wedding. Take a look at our Gallery for pictures of our chocolate cakes there.
And what about white chocolate?
We can decorate a Rich Chocolate Fudge Cake or other if you prefer with white chocolate ganache and white chocolate curls or shavings. Again, colours in decoration with ribbons and flowers can still be incorporated. Take a look at our Gallery for pictures of our white chocolate cakes there.
I like the flowers from one cake but the icing work from another. Can I incorporate both?
Yes! Every cake is designed individually for you and is completely unique to your choice of colours, flowers and shape etc. If you have an idea then let us know! We encourage you to input as much as you can to ensure your cake is completely personal to you.
I like the flowers from one cake but I need them in a different colour. What can I do?
All our cakes are designed for the individual so any type of flowers can be any colour and you also have the choice of sugar flowers, fresh flowers and silk flowers. Always remember it's your day, your cake and your choice!
Sugar, silk or fresh flowers?
What ever you prefer! It's up to you. We are more than happy to hand make flowers from sugar in the correct variety and colour of flower to match your wedding theme. Alternatively, you can arrange with us to have fresh flowers on your cake that will, again, remain consistent with your theme. Silk flowers are also an option and are quite often the least expensive way to go. Click here to find out more about Flower decoration.
I am using a specific tartan as part of my theme. How can I incorporate that?
We like to consider even the finest details of the design, from matching the icing with your colours to trimming the boards with ribbon. We can incorporate the tartan on the ribbon used to lace the boards or use it as frilling with icing or as a decorative touch within a spray of flowers. We, of course, are the proud designers of the Tartan Cloth Effect Icing whereby we create from icing a swatch of tartan to match your own and use is to drape down the cake. Take a look at our Gallery for Scottish Cakes there.
I would like designer model figures on the top of my cake. Can you make these for me?
Yes! We specialise in creating sugar model figures as brides and grooms for the tops of wedding cakes. We even take a look at photographs of the bride and groom and match up features such as eyes, hair and clothing. We also enjoy the novelty side of design and have, in the past, created figures of many well known cartoon characters. If you have an idea, let us hear it! Click here for more information on Novelty Cakes.
I have chosen a particular theme for my stationary. Can I incorporate this into the design?
Yes! Quite often we have people wishing to incorporate design elements from their invitations like Celtic knot work, cartoon characters and styles such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It's your day and we want to create a wedding cake that blends perfectly with whatever theme you have chosen.
How far in advance should I order my cake?
Although we try our best to accommodate every customer, we do ask that you place your order at least 3 months prior to your wedding day. In the busy months of June-October, we advise that you book in at the beginning of the year to ensure you get a booking.
Can I have my cake delivered?
Yes, but depending where you are, the prices will vary dramatically. We generally deliver in person to local areas but use courier services for areas that are a bit further away. The best idea is to ask about this when you are ordering your cake. |
