BOOKING & Pricing

Below you will find information on pricing, my Postal Taster Boxes, consultations, portioning, delivery and health & safety. If you require any additional information or would like to discuss your order, please get in touch.
 

I suggest a minimum of 6 months notice for wedding cakes. May, June, July and August are typically my busiest months, therefore it is advisable to place your order as soon as possible.
Orders at short notice will also be considered.
 

Prices

Every cake that I create is bespoke, therefore my price will vary according to the design chosen, the flavour and the number of people the cake is to feed.

Please use this as a rough guide.

Wedding cakes:

Two tier wedding cake (6” & 8” - serves approx.60) - From £390

Small three tier wedding cake (4”, 6”, & 8” - serves approx.80) - From £450

Large three tier wedding cake (6”, 8” & 10” - serves approx.110) - From £550

Four tier wedding cake (4”, 6”, 8” & 10” - serves approx.140) from £650

Celebration cakes:

Prices vary depending on size and design. For a bespoke celebration cake, please get in touch and I will be happy to provide you with a quotation.

My smallest celebration cake is a 6” cake which feeds around 10-12 people and starts at £90.

POSTAL TASter boXES & Consultations

When designing your wedding cake, of course you want it to look amazing, but it needs to taste as good as it looks too! Therefore I always start the booking process with a cake tasting. A box of 6 of your chosen flavours from my menu are delivered straight to your door for you to enjoy over a weekend in the comfort of your own home, with a cup of tea, or even a glass of fizz! You may even wish to include other members of the bridal party and make it an occasion!

My Taster Boxes are issued in batches throughout the year. Please contact me to find out when my next issue is. These are usually during the Autumn and Winter months.

A small ‘Save the Date’ fee of £25 will cover production and postage of your Taster Box and will also hold your date in my diary until we meet for our consultation. This fee is deducted from your final order total.

I offer a consultation for every couple at my home. The appointment is made for a time to suit you, which does include some evenings, and also weekends. The consultation usually lasts around 30-45 minutes and is the perfect opportunity for you to see where your wedding cake will be baked and decorated.

I ask that you bring with you any images of wedding cakes you’ve seen that inspire you, along with details of your theme, colour scheme and any pictures you have of your dress or flowers that you have chosen. I can draw lots of ideas and detail from this information and together we can visualise your ‘dream cake’.

Following your consultation, I will email you a sketch of my design proposal for you to keep, along with my quotation for the design and ideas discussed,

Should you be unable to meet for a face-to-face consultation, no problem! We can also chat over Zoom, telephone or email.

Portioning

During your consultation, I will ask you whether the cake is to be served as a dessert, or with coffee; this will determine the portioning size and how many people the cake is to feed.

I generally recommend that wedding cakes be cut in the following grid portion:

Dessert Portion: 1" x 2"

Coffee Portion: 1" x 1"

For celebration cakes, I recommend 1” x 2” portions.

Delivery

Wedding Cakes can be delivered throughout Northamptonshire and surrounding counties.

On the morning of your wedding, I will deliver and set up your cake in the location as previously agreed, at your venue. I will carry out any last minute finishing touches and ensure that your cake is perfect, ready for the big reveal.

Delivery and set up costs will be stated on your quotation and are dependant upon delivery location and estimated timescales for set up of your design.

For smaller single tier wedding cakes, collection is possible and will be discussed with you at point of order. Although detailed instructions for travel, storage and set up of the cake will be provided to the collector, please note that The Greenhouse Cakerie is not responsible for the safety of the cake once it has been collected.

Health & Safety Advice

Any allergens in your cake will be clearly labelled on the box. Please check these carefully.

If you have ordered a tiered cake, please be aware that there will be a thin cake board between the tiers and wooden or plastic dowelling rods in the bottom tiers for support. These should be removed before cutting. Once you separate the tiers, you will see them sticking out of the cake; they can be easily removed.

Please ensure that any non-edible decorations are removed from the cake before serving.

If fresh flowers are being used on the cake it is the responsibility of the florist to determine flower safety and safe food practices.
