The Process
Introduction
You have found and fallen in love with Cakes by Lucy's designs, so now is the time to enquire and reserve your date.
You are invited to chat with Lucy via phone or email. This can be a casual, relaxed conversation to discuss your wedding cake plans and explore how Lucy can bring your vision to life.
Lucy will provide clear guidance on pricing with a quote and advise on the next steps of your wedding cake journey.
A booking fee of £150 is required to secure your date in the diary.
Design Consultation
Around 6-9 months before your wedding Lucy will invite you to a design consultation. For the full experience an in person consultation is available at Lucy's address, alternatively a zoom call can be arranged.
Your design consultation is a formal meeting for you to get to know Lucy, discuss your inspiration and visions and to go through each design element of your cake. Lucy will guide you through different design possibilities and show you examples of different design elements.
Cake Tasting
During your design consultation, Lucy will provide you with a luxury cake sample box. You are able to choose 5 different flavours from Lucy's menu to try. You are welcome to try your cake samples during the consultation, or take home to enjoy.
If you would prefer a zoom call your cake sample box will be posted out to you.
Your Cake Design
Once Lucy has gathered all the information about your cake design she will provide a digital cake sketch of your cake. The digital sketch is an accurate representation of how your cake will look on the day, giving you a clear visual how each design element will work together.
The Details
Lucy is more than happy to liaise with your team such as your venue co-ordinator, wedding planner, florist and venue dresser to ensure all the finer details are discussed and finalised.
Your final balance is due 4 weeks before your wedding day.
Your Wedding Cake Delivery
On the day of your wedding Lucy personally deliver and style your cake at your venue. Once Lucy arrives your cake will be set up and finishing touches such as florals will be added.
Every delivery is considered carefully to ensure your cake arrives safely.
Lucy will take photos & videos of your wedding cake and hand over an ingredients list to your venue co-ordinator.
Your cake will then be complete, ready to wow your guests and provide you with the most unforgettable piece of edible art at the centre of your special day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book?
Cakes by Lucy only takes on a certain number of cakes each year.
Each cake is an artistry-driven, edible masterpiece and so to allow Lucy time to spend on each cake her diary is limited.
To ensure you do not miss out on your wedding date and to get the full design experience Lucy recommends booking your wedding cake at least
12 - 18 months in advance.
Shorter lead times are possible and Lucy will always do everything she can to accommodate you.
Can we have a different flavour on each tier?
Absolutely.
This is something Lucy highly recommends.
Selecting a different flavour for each tier of your cake provides an excellent variety for you & your guests to enjoy and caters to different tastes.
How much do your wedding cakes cost?
Each and every cake that Lucy creates is completely bespoke. As each cake is totally unique the final cost is dependant on a number of factors including time, the number of tiers & sizing, the intricacy of the design, sugar artistry such as flowers and travel.
