CAKE MENU
2027 FLAVOURS, FROM TIMELESS FAVOURITES
TO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT
CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING CAKE FLAVOURS
Choosing your flavours is one of the best parts of planning your wedding cake. You can choose a different flavour for each tier, giving you the chance to mix familiar favourites with something a little more unusual.
My 2027 cake menu is divided into Standard, Premium and Luxury flavours, based on the ingredients and preparation involved. Standard flavours are included within the starting prices shown in my Wedding Cake Pricing Guide, while Premium and Luxury flavours are available as upgrades.
All flavours are filled with Italian meringue buttercream as standard, with alternative fillings available for selected flavours. You'll find more about filling options and flavour upgrades further down the page.
STANDARD, PREMIUM & LUXURY
Classic favourites sit alongside more distinctive combinations, with flavours built around homemade conserves, curds, drizzles and carefully chosen ingredients.
VARIATIONS & UPGRADES
Some flavours have optional variations or filling upgrades. Variations are alternative options available within the same price category, while upgrades use additional or higher-cost ingredients and will increase the price of that tier.
Tasting samples are made to the flavour described on the menu, so variations and upgrades aren't available for individual tasting portions.

YOUR CAKE, YOUR FILLING
Italian meringue buttercream is the standard filling across my cake menu, with each flavour paired with the buttercream I think complements it best.
As part of the bespoke service, many flavours can be personalised with alternative fillings, from French buttercream and flavoured Italian meringue buttercreams to Belgian chocolate ganache.
You'll find suggested Variations and Upgrades alongside each flavour above, but these aren't the only possibilities. If you have a particular combination in mind, we can discuss it as part of your consultation.
Some filling choices use more expensive ingredients or require additional preparation and will therefore increase the price of that tier.
SPECIAL DIETS & ALLERGENS
Dietary requirements can often be accommodated, with alternative recipes available for selected flavours. As all cakes are made in a kitchen that handles gluten and other allergens, I cannot guarantee that any cake is completely free from traces of allergens.
Where only a small number of guests have a particular dietary requirement or allergy, a separate cutting cake or individual cupcakes can often be the best option, rather than adapting a tier of the main wedding cake.
Alternative recipes may fall into a different price category depending on the ingredients and preparation involved. Please let me know about any dietary requirements or allergies when you enquire so we can discuss the most suitable option.
