How it works:

There are six flavours included in my vegan wedding cake sample boxes. However, you are not limited to these flavours when choosing your wedding cake.

I designed your vegan sample box to inspire and guide you. You’ll also find many additional tried-and-tested wedding cake flavours listed in my menus. I’ve made vegan adaptations for most of my standard wedding cake menu items, and you’re welcome to choose any of these for your main vegan wedding cake flavour(s). I may make some adaptations to ensure the vegan versions taste their very best.

Once you complete payment, I will confirm your order and deliver your box on the date shown above.

Pricing:

The wedding cake-tasting box costs £45, including packaging and delivery.

Substitutions:

Substitutions, changes, and vegan or gluten-free* options are subject to an additional £10 charge to cover the extra preparation time and increased cost of ingredients and materials. If you’d like to substitute a flavour that isn’t listed, I will do my best to accommodate your request, though I cannot always guarantee it.

I make samples with special free-from ingredients (vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, or gluten-free) and present them in little reusable pots with slightly different packaging than our standard tasting box.

If you would like to add a substitution or have another dietary requirement, please fill out the form below and I will get back to you with options and availability.

Delivery:

We can only deliver to UK mainland addresses.

Securing your date:

*Please note that purchasing a cake-tasting box does not confirm a wedding cake booking. A wedding date is not confirmed until a £150 security deposit has been paid to block out a date, the date could become unavailable at any time due to high demand. 

Wedding Cake Tasting Box Availability:

Wedding cake tasting boxes are not typically available during peak wedding season (May–September), as this is my busiest time for baking and delivering wedding cakes.

Creating wedding cake tasting boxes is a labour of love: each flavour includes multiple carefully made elements like syrups, pralines, gelees, compotes, and buttercreams. With over six flavour combinations available, it’s a time-intensive process—but worth it!

I may not be able to offer wedding cake sample boxes for last-minute bookings made later in the year for weddings happening during that peak season.

However, I know how important it can be to try your wedding cake flavours before making a final decision. So, if a tasting is something you value, I’ll absolutely do my best to fit one in during the busy months, if my schedule allows.

Contact me early if you’re booking last-minute and want a tasting—I’ll add you to my last-minute tasting list. If I have a free week during the season, I’ll prioritise getting samples to you where possible.

Caring for your wedding cake taster box:

You will receive your wedding cake sample box via post. If you will not be tasting the cakes straight away, then I recommend that you pop them in the fridge for at least 90 minutes before they are served. This ensures that the cake pots come to room temperature and that all of the flavours will come through as intended.

Your wedding cake samples should be tasted within 2-3 days of receiving them to ensure that they are tasted at their freshest.

You will be provided with a cake sample note card for you to make notes on your favourite flavours, ready to give feedback to me when you have tried all the flavours.

FAQ’s

Q: I have a dietary requirement for my main wedding cake. Can you cater for this?

A: Yes, I can cater for most dietary requirements and can adapt my cake tasting boxes for an additional £10 per adaptation or change. Get in touch or email me to request a special tasting box, and I’ll send you an invoice to secure your booking.

Please note that I make vegan wedding cake flavours with slight adaptations from my main menu. I package vegan wedding cake samples in small individual pots.

Allergens: I can make my cakes without gluten-containing ingredients or dairy products, but I prepare them in a kitchen where gluten is handled. Please get in touch if you have coeliac disease or a severe allergy, and I’ll provide further advice.

If only a few of your guests have dietary requirements and your main cake does not accommodate them, I can provide matching cupcakes or a small cake to suit their needs. This can be discussed in your consultation and quoted for separately.

Q: How many cake flavours can I choose for my wedding cake?

A: You can have as many cake flavours as you have tiers for your cake. However, I usually recommend that if, for example, you have a three-tier cake, then you choose two flavours. One for the larger, bottom tier and one for the smaller, top two tiers. This way, you have roughly a 50/50 distribution, making it easier for your guests to choose equally between flavours. But this is, of course, totally up to you. I do not charge more for having more than one (or two) flavours.

Q: Do I need to purchase a wedding cake taster box to book my wedding cake with you?

A: Not at all. Not everyone chooses to book a cake tasting for their wedding cake. Some people prefer a simpler, streamlined ordering process, and this is totally fine. You can simply choose your favourite flavour(s) from my wedding cake menu. And I will note these on your order form.

Q: Can I secure the date, get all the details of my cake settled and then choose the cake flavour, after receiving a cake-tasting box?

A: Absolutely. You can secure your wedding date with me so that you can rest assured that I have blocked out your date in my diary for your wedding cake. Then we can add the cake flavours to your order form once you have tried them and made your choices.

I can get booked up quickly during the summer months. Because I cannot hold a date open until a £150 security deposit is made, I encourage couples to request a quote and finalise a design first. This way, if you’re happy with the quote and the services I provide, we can go ahead and secure your booking. You can update the cake flavours (and any other details) as we finalise your wedding cake order. You will also receive your wedding cake-tasting box by post.

Q: Is it safe to send wedding cake samples in the post? Can you keep the cake out of the fridge for that long?

A: It is perfectly safe to send cakes via Royal Mail post. We send our cakes using Royal Mail 24 hour tracked delivery. We usually post them on a Wednesday by 5 pm so that the samples will be with you by 1 p.m. on Thursday. This way, you can be ready to enjoy them throughout the weekend. I carefully package wedding cake tasters, and they will keep happily for up to 48 hours outside the fridge without affecting freshness. I ask that you try your cakes within two days of receiving them, ideally by Sunday evening, so you can taste them at their freshest..

Q: Do I need to be planning a wedding to book a wedding cake taster box from you?

A: Yes. Although I charge for wedding cake tasting boxes, they are made without a profit. The cost of the box barely covers the cost of packaging and materials, ingredients and postage, and with the extensive labour involved, they are actually made at a small loss. But I know how important sampling cake flavours is to my clients, so I continue to offer wedding cake tasting boxes as an additional service to our wedding cakes. This does unfortunately mean that I do not provide them as a product for non-wedding customers.

I look forward to hearing from you and for to you try some delicious cake flavours.
