PROCESS
PERSONALISATION
Huge congratulations to you and thank you for choosing to work with Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium. Personalisation is very important to us, as we firmly believe that no two events are the same and for that reason, all our luxury cakes are bespoke and custom made. Famed for our dazzling intricate designs and our sublime and imaginative flavours, each cake we create is memorable and as individual as you are.
We strive to deliver luxury cakes that exceeds expectations. From elegant luxury wedding cakes to
the most unusually shaped celebration cakes, each cake created at Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium is important to us and the results are a reflection of the love and passion we pour into producing them.
“Thank you for the amazing wedding cake for Aicha & Michael which you delivered and constructed at Hedsor House last Sunday! The stunning cake got plenty of wows from the guests when they saw it but the best was yet to come! Every tier which was a different flavour sponge with exquisite fillings was absolutely & insanely delicious! Best cake we have ever tasted! Thank you Elizabeth”
THE CONSULTATION
We aim to make this as fun as possible, as we view it as an opportunity for us to have your undivided attention for a few hours. Prior to meeting with us we will ask about any allergies, dietary requirements and intolerances you might have in order to ensure we prepare the most suitable cake samples for you. On the day of the consultation, we will start by getting to know you; including your likes, interests and aesthetic before we drill down to the specifics of your event.
The time and location of your event, number of guests, theme, colours, (including specific tones and shades), flower types, style and presentation will be explored. We will also encourage you to bring to the meeting a design pack that may include for example, your stationery, fabric swatches etc as we like to be as thorough and as detailed as possible.
On the day, you will have the opportunity to sample your preferred cake flavours (we may also include a wild card flavour) which is often the most pleasurable part of the process. Understanding the provenance of ingredients is of utmost importance to us at Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium and we therefore ensure that our delicious cakes are made from the best sourced ingredients. Make sure you bring your appetite as we are very generous with our cakes!
There is a one off non refundable consultation fee to cover the cost of the cakes which starts from £50.
DESIGN PROCESS
This is where we begin to bring all the various (and sometimes divergent) ideas to life in a sketch. We will work with you to produce some visuals, incorporating as much of the personal details as we can so the cake is a true reflection of your ideas. We will confirm your chosen flavours and produce an invoice for a 50% non refundable deposit for the cost of the cake to secure your booking and date as we do have limited availability. The sketch will then be released to you at this point. We understand that sometimes things change and you may wish to make some design changes to your cake. This is perfectly acceptable and we will endeavour to work within your budget as long as the design changes are relatively minor. The rest of the payment for your cake will become due 6 weeks before your event.
Some of our clients sometimes opt for a keepsake of their luxury cake in the form of a beautiful watercolour painting. This can be arranged for a separate fee.
DELIVERY AND SET UP
Prior to the big day, we would liaise with the events team and your chosen venue to confirm exact set up timings, cake positioning, making sure that we are aware of any last minute changes to the event.
All our cakes are personally delivered and set up by Elizabeth and an assistant to ensure that there is a seamless handover.
We are grateful for your patronage and we are truly excited about creating very delicious and memorable cakes for your special events.
