How to order

  1. Send the date and what you're after

    The birthday date, how many people, the theme or a photo you like, chocolate or vanilla, collection or delivery.

  2. We send one price

    For the finished cake, flavour and cream agreed, allergens listed. Usually the same day.

  3. Half now books the date

    Bank transfer. The other half before you collect, or before we set off. Change your mind more than a week out and the deposit comes back.

  4. Collect, or we deliver

    Boxed, with the ingredients card inside. Fresh cream cakes go straight in the fridge.

Questions

How much notice do you need?

At least ten days for birthday and themed cakes, two to three weeks for the dumpling and other sculpted cakes. If it's sooner than that, ask anyway; sometimes there's a gap.

Where do you deliver?

Collection from NG8 is free. Delivery is £5 within five miles of NG8. That covers most of Nottingham, Beeston and Bulwell. Further than that, we quote on the round trip.

Fresh cream or buttercream?

Fresh cream if you like it light and the cake is being eaten within two days; keep it in the fridge. Buttercream if you want a themed or sculpted design, or it needs to last the weekend; it keeps three to four days in a cool room. Themed and dumpling cakes are always buttercream.

Can you cater for an allergy?

Every cake comes with a card listing the ingredients and the allergens in it. The kitchen handles nuts, gluten, eggs and dairy, so no cake can be guaranteed free of them. Tell us the allergy when you enquire and we'll tell you honestly what we can do.

How many people does a cake feed?

6 inch: 8 to 10 party slices. 8 inch: 14 to 16. The dumpling: about 10. For more than that we quote a bigger cake, or add a box of cupcakes. See the three drawn to scale.

Can I change a design?

Colours, the name and small details are included in the price. A bigger change to a themed or sculpted cake gets a fresh quote before you pay anything.

What if I need to cancel?

More than a week before the date, the deposit comes back in full. Inside a week the ingredients are bought and the slot is held, so the deposit stays with us.

Got a birthday coming up?

We open for orders soon. Send the date and what you have in mind and we'll hold the slot. You commit to nothing until you've seen the price.

This asks for a price, it is not a booking. We reply by message, usually the same day, and nothing is booked until you have paid the deposit.
