Wedding Cake Tasting Box
Wedding Cake Taster Boxes
The Most Important Part Is The Taste
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 dispatched via special next-day delivery, enabling you to enjoy them in the comfort of your home.
How it works:
Wedding cake-tasting boxes include six of my signature premium flavours, which you can select from my Wedding Cake menus.
Please choose a date from the scheduled tasting options provided below. Then use the online payment option to pay for your box. Once the payment is made, your order is confirmed, and I’ll provide you with your tracking number or delivery information the day before your scheduled tasting.
Once we have the details confirmed, your samples will be dispatched via special next-day delivery for the specified date below.
Proceed to Payment:
The wedding cake-tasting box costs £45 including packaging and delivery.
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.
Sample Pots:
Wedding cake samples are layered in little recyclable pots. This ensures that your cake arrives to you in perfect condition ready for tasting.
Wedding Cake Sample Box by post:
Cake sample boxes are sent by special next-day delivery. Luisa will email you a tracking number for your order. I usually post the samples on a Thursday so that they arrive by 1 p.m. on Friday. This way they can be enjoyed over the weekend with a cup of tea or glass of bubbly.
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 until 45 minutes before they will be 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 tried 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: 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 more simple, streamlined ordering process and this is totally fine. You can simply choose your favourite flavour(s) from my wedding cake menu.
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 Thursday so that the samples will be with you by 1 p.m. on Friday. This way you can ready to be 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: Not at all! Wedding cake-tasting boxes are available to purchase by anyone. Not just potential wedding cake clients.
I look forward to hearing from you and for you to try some delicious cake flavours.
