Flavours

Emma Shafi Cake Design is committed to creating cakes that not only look amazing, but taste amazing too.
All my cakes are made from the finest ingredients and baked freshly to order.
My delicious cakes are filled with homemade buttercreams, luxury preserves and are then wrapped in a layer of Belgian chocolate ganache before being finished with luxury fondant. This gives the cake the perfect base to ensure a flawless finish.

All my cakes are produced with vegetarian and halal ingredients and I can also cater for most dietary requirements. Although please note Emma Shafi Cake Design is NOT an allergy free kitchen.

As with any of your wedding suppliers, I would highly recommend booking your cake as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Even if you have not got any ideas together for your cake yet it is advisable to book your cake designer as soon as you’ve booked your venue. A small deposit will secure your date and your design can be finalised by 4-6 months before your wedding day.

Yes of course! On your wedding day I will personally deliver and set up your cake at the venue. Most tiered wedding cakes must be assembled at the venue due to their size and the delicate nature of most decorations. This ensures your cake will look perfect at your arrival and gives you the peace of mind that everything has been taken care of.

Yes, I have a wide range of delicious flavours to choose from. If you wish to try before you book, I offer sample boxes with your choice of 5 flavours for £25.

Absolutely! I highly recommend having a different flavour to each tier. This is your wedding day so why not indulge yourselves! Remember that the bottom tier is the biggest, so perhaps make sure this is your favourite flavour. You might not get much opportunity to enjoy a slice during the day so make sure your venue saves a few slices of each flavour for you!

The cost of a wedding cake will depend on a variety of factors such as the date, guest numbers, the complexity of the design, the size and the venue location.

Depending on all these factors a 3-tier cake could range anywhere from £325 upwards.

At your initial enquiry I can give you an estimated price range, which then gives you a good idea of what your cake will cost. It’s also important to mention if you have a specific budget and I will do my best to work to this.

As a rough guide I would suggest that you cater for around 80% of your evening guest numbers. Not everyone will want a piece of cake and you don’t want to have lots of leftovers after the wedding (although leftovers can be frozen!). If you want a large showstopping cake but don’t need that many servings, dummy tiers and spacers can be incorporated into your design to create a real wow factor!

Firstly, please get in touch with your date and I will check my availability.

If you already have a good idea of what you would like I can now give your personalised quote. If you are happy and want to go ahead a non-refundable deposit will secure your date.

If you would like my bespoke service, where I will design your cake to be completely personal to you, this can also be secured with a non-refundable deposit. About 4-6 months before your wedding day, we will meet for a design consultation and discuss all aspects of your wedding cake. Following this you will receive your personal quote and a sketch of your design.

Around 12-18 months before your wedding and once you have secured your date and venue, please get in touch and I will confirm availability. A non-refundable deposit saves your date at this stage.

6 months before your wedding we will meet for your design consultation, and you will receive your cake samples to try. Following this you will receive your tailored quote and sketch of your design.

At one month to go your final payment will be due. I will be in touch before this date to confirm all the details for your day.

Around 3-5 days before I will start work on your cake and bring your design to life!

On your wedding day, your cake will be delivered and set up at your venue by me personally and all you need to do is relax knowing your cake is in safe hands.

No, you don’t need to, however a cake stand is the perfect finishing touch to your wedding cake and can really make it stand out at your venue.

I have cake stands available for hire if needed and can also recommend which stand would best compliment the design of your wedding cake if you wanted to purchase your own.

Some wedding venues have their own cake stand and it’s good to see it beforehand if they do, as sometimes they can be old-fashioned looking and may not be suitable for your design.

This is entirely up to you. If you already have a good idea of what you would like it might not be necessary, but if you are after a wow-factor cake that is completely original to you I would highly recommend it. At your consultation we will go through all the details & what you would like to incorporate into your design. Following this I will supply you with your personalised sketch which is yours to keep forever. You will also receive your box of sample flavours.

Your consultation will be around 4-6 months before your wedding.

We will meet at my home studio for your design consultation, and you will receive a box of cake samples to try. Following this you will receive your tailored quote and sketch of your design.

A non-refundable booking fee of £75 will secure your date.

No, creating a bespoke design for you is part of my service. At your design consultation we will discuss any ideas you may already have, and we will work together to create the cake of your dreams.

Yes absolutely! This is one of the most important days of your lives so why not include personal details. Outfits, bouquets, wedding stationery and even the decor of your venue can all be used for inspiration.

Yes, I do! I specialise in iced biscuits, macarons, cakesicles & chocolates as sweet favours. These can be personalised with details such as your initials, the date of your wedding and design elements to complement your wedding cake perfectly.
