Choosing what your cake will look and taste like should be one of the most exciting aspects of planning your wedding day. This is why we believe it should be the stand out centre piece through being visually beautiful and ridiculously tasty! At The Maplewood Bakery, we are confident we will create your dream wedding cake to complete your special day.
Please take a look at our wedding cake menu at the top of the page and contact us via phone or e-mail if you would like us to check our availability for your wedding day. Please also see below some further information on the typical process of beginning your wedding cake journey with us!
The Process
Say Hello…
Congratulations, you are engaged!
For a personalised quote, please get in touch via e-mail and let us know your event date, the location of your wedding reception and the number of people you would like your cake to serve. If you have any initial ideas for the design of your cake, please share with me so I can start to envisage the kind of design you are looking for to see if I’m the right cake designer for you. Attaching some images is always helpful… feel free to check out our previous wedding cakes displayed on our website or Instagram page for more inspiration!
Tasting Consultation
The best part of planning a wedding I’m sure!
If you wish to taste some cake samples then I shall put forward our upcoming tasting dates to you. This is usually a 45 minute consultation where I invite the two of you to my bakery from home where you are able to try up to 5 of my cake flavours! This gives us a chance to meet in person so I can get to know you both as a couple which is very helpful in getting to understand your wedding style and desires for your dream cake. This also allows us to have a deeper chat about the finer details and get the ball rolling with the design process.
Booking and Payment
Once you have tasted my cakes and we have our initial ideas for the size and design in place, we can then secure your booking. A 50% non-refundable deposit is payable to place your order with the remaining balance being due four weeks prior to your wedding date.
At this stage with a month to go, I will get back in touch with you for a good catch up. We can run through all the details of your cake once more and make any necessary changes. We will then tie up any loose ends and get everything finalised for your special day!
