Frequently asked questions.

Can we have fresh flowers on our cake?

Ben usually decorates his cakes with his own hand-made, bespoke sugar flowers, however the use of fresh florals can be discussed at your consultation.

Do you cater for allergies?

All of the cake flavours on our menu contain eggs, sugar, gluten, and dairy; some choices may also contain nuts or alcohol. Selected flavour choices can be amended for some dietary requirements upon request, however, our cakes are made in a kitchen where all these allergens are present and Ben cannot guarantee that they are 100 percent allergen free.

Can you deliver our cake?

Ben personally delivers all of his creations nationwide. He will liaise with your wedding planner or venue directly, to ensure your cake is in the right place at the right time. We will provide the venue with information about storing the cake, any allergen details, and any specialist cutting methods including the removal and storage of any delicate, handmade sugar flowers. Delivery cost is calculated by the distance from Ben’s studio in Birmingham to the venue and the time required to assemble the cake.

How much will my cake cost?

Ben’s bespoke cake designs start at £1,000, however, the cost will depend on the size, intricacy and complexity of the design required.

How big will my cake be?

The cake can be any size you wish, however this is usually determined by the number of portions you require and size of portion you wish to offer to your guests.

Can we have more than one flavour?

Absolutely. Each tier can be a different flavour.

How far in advance do we need to book?

Please book as far in advance as possible. Each year only a very limited number of cakes are created by Ben who, works single-handedly to ensure perfection. This means his diary gets filled very quickly, particularly in the peak wedding season of May to September.

Do you supply cake stands?

Most wedding venues will offer you a cake stand. However, depending on the style of your cake Ben does have some alternatives that can be hired to accompany your cake. In addition, a refundable security bond is required and will be refunded once you have returned the stand to him.

Do you offer cutting cakes?

Yes, if you have a large number of guests but would like a smaller cake to display, cutting cakes can be made and delivered to the kitchen. These will be covered in luxurious Swiss buttercream and a thin, delicate layer of sugar paste, but not decorated.

Do you decorate dummies tiers?

Artificial tiers can be covered and decorated to look like a real cake enhancing the size, design and ‘wow’ factor of your cake.

Do you sell your sugar flowers?

Ben does not make or sell his sugar flowers independently from his cakes.

Do you decorate other people’s cakes?

Ben only decorates cakes baked by himself.
