FAQ's
How do I place an order?
For both wedding and celebration cakes please contact me via email at ardbakery@gmail.com to make a booking
How much will my cake cost?
All my wedding and bespoke cakes are designed in collaboration with you, so I don't have a set price list as such. Prices will vary depending on the size and complexity of the design. If you have a budget in mind I can work to that, otherwise i can give a variety of price options at the design stage. I do have a rough guide to starting prices here to give you a better idea.
I also offer single tiered celebration cakes in some pre-existing designs which are available at a lower price point. Please email me for more information on these cakes.
Do you deliver?
I am now based in the Shawlands area of Glasgow, and cakes can be collected from here, free of charge.
For wedding cakes within Scotland I will deliver and setup the cake in order to ensure it is displayed at its best. The cost for this ranges from £50-£75 depending on the location.
For weddings further afield, collection may be possible, but only with smaller, simpler cakes.
Do you deliver to London?
My cakes are quite fragile, and need to be hand delivered, so I am not able to deliver to London. However, I do occasionally come to London to make cakes, so please get in touch to check if this may be possible for your cake.
Do you offer tastings?
I can send out tasting boxes boxes, delivered to your door, with up to four flavours. The cost for this is £30, which is deductible from all orders over £350. For a list of flavours please see here.
How far in advance should I book my cake?
It's never too early to get in touch. To give each cake the attention it deserves I only take on one or two wedding cake commissions per week. So I recommend you reserve your date as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, especially in the summer months.
For smaller celebration cakes I am usually able to accommodate more of these, so its always worth enquiring even with less notice.
How do I pay?
For wedding cakes I take a £100 non refundable deposit to secure the date. The balance is due four weeks prior to delivery.
For celebration cakes i take a £50 deposit, and the balance is due 1 week before.
Do you provide cake stands?
I have a range of cake stands available for hire. These need to be returned to me within a week.
Do you offer different cakes for dietary requirements?
I am able to make cakes which do not have gluten or nuts as an ingredient. However, all my cakes are made in my home kitchen, which has a 5 star food hygiene rating. While I do have processes in place to avoid cross contamination, I do not have segregated production areas, so cross contamination of ingredients may occur, and therefor cakes may contain traces of allergens.
I not not currently offer vegan cakes, but am in development and hope to be able to offer these soon!
