Wedding Cake Tasting Box
Wedding Cake Taster Boxes
While it’s essential to have a wedding cake that reflects your unique personality and style as a couple, I understand that taste is the most crucial aspect. That’s why I provide wedding cake taster boxes containing six of my delicious, tried and tested flavours.
I arrange wedding cake taster boxes on specific dates throughout the year, typically during the off-peak season from November to May.
Below are the details for our next scheduled tasting and instructions on how to book. Tasting boxes are either hand-delivered by me, where possible or dispatched via special next-day delivery, enabling you to enjoy them in the comfort of your home.
Tasting Boxes include 6 of my most popular wedding cake flavours.
How it works:
Choose a date from the scheduled tasting options above.
Once paid the order is confirmed and you will receive the box on the date selected.
I’ll provide you with your tracking number or delivery information the day before your scheduled tasting.
Wedding cake-tasting boxes include six of my most popular signature premium flavours from my wedding cake menus.
The wedding cake-tasting box costs £45, including packaging and delivery.
Substitutions, changes and vegan or gluten-free* options are charged at an additional £10 to reflect the additional work and cost of ingredients and materials. Boxes made with special free-from ingredients (vegan, dairy-free, nut-free or made without gluten) will be presented in little reusable pots and have slightly different packaging than our standard tasting box.
Please note that we can only deliver to UK mainland addresses.
*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 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.
Plastic Free – Luxury Eco Packaging
I have sourced the packaging from high-end retailers with a commitment to sustainability. The boxes are made from 92% recycled materials and can be reused or repurposed. Why not keep it for your wedding cards or gift notes etc? The cellophane is compostable (just pop it in the bin if you don’t have a compost collection) and the greaseproof paper is biodegradable (pop it in the bin and it will biodegrade). Our printing is done with sustainable methods so that your cake tasters are as planet-friendly as possible
Wedding Cake Flavour Menu:
About Your Tasting:
Your taster box is designed to showcase a wide variety of my most popular, tried-and-tested flavours. This is not my full menu—additional and more adventurous flavours are available to view on my flavours page..
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 45 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 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.
Please note: Although my cakes can be made without gluten-containing ingredients or dairy products, they are prepared in a kitchen where gluten is handled. Please get in touch if you have coeliac disease or a severe allergy so we can advise further.
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 in order 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 pretty quickly in the Summer months. Therefore, because I cannot hold a date open until a £150 security deposit has been made, I do encourage couples to enquire about a quote and get a design settled first. This way, if you’re happy with the quote and services I provide, we can go ahead and get you booked. The cake flavours (and any other missing details) can be updated as we begin to finalise your wedding cake order. And once you have received the wedding cake-tasting box by post.
Q: Is it safe to send wedding cake samples in the post? Can you keep 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 Guaranteed delivery by 1 pm the next day. 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. Wedding cake tasters are carefully packaged, and they will happily keep for up to 48 hours out of the fridge, without any concerns about temperature or freshness. We just ask that you try your cakes within 2 days of receiving them. And ideally by Sunday evening, so that you are tasting 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.
