corporate orders

I make single-tier round cakes to serve as many as 142 guests! If you need more than this, you can always top up with cupcakes; a cake and cupcake combination can make for a striking visual display and has the advantage that guests can serve themselves without requiring somebody to spend a long time cutting a cake. 

It is a common misconception that square or rectangular cakes are 'easier to serve'. I can show you how to serve a large round cake to achieve the maximum number of servings: the good news is it's just as easy as serving a cake with corners. 

I much prefer baking round cakes because I can ensure a perfectly even bake, plus those pesky vertices are a nightmare to get looking perfect! If you prefer a square or rectangular cake for aesthetics then a £20 surcharge applies vs a round cake with the same number of servings. A square cake will serve 1.27 x the number of servings as a round cake of the same diameter; I do also offer rectangular cakes, please enquire for options to suit your number of guests.

Please refer to my page 'prices and serving guides' for sizing for single cakes. If you plan to serve smaller, celebration slices then you can multiply these numbers by 1.3. For mini cupcakes, I recommend ordering 2-3 per guest, depending on the length of the function and even whether alcohol will be served (I do find that the willpower to resist that third mini disappears after a glass of something cold). 

Whilst I can guarantee that my cupcakes and buttercream are nut-free, I cannot make guarantees about anything I have purchased from external suppliers to add to your order. Most of the sprinkles I use have a disclaimer saying they may contain traces of tree nuts and peanuts as well as other allergens due to exposure during manufacture. Most also contain soya and some (especially shiny ones) contain fish gelatine. Schools should also consider the colours they request: most bright food colours now carry the legally required warning that they  'may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children'. I can avoid these upon request but many colours (including red, yellow and green) cannot be achieved without them.

I can add some vegan, dairy-and/or- gluten-free cupcakes to your order; I am not able to bake items which are simultaneously free from both eggs AND gluten. However, I handle most allergens in my kitchen and so although I take all reasonable steps to prevent cross-contamination, I cannot guarantee that any of my bakes will be free from traces of eggs or dairy in particular. Furthermore, the sprinkles, fondant and even some of the ingredients I use carry the same disclaimer. Customers with the most severe allergies should consider an alternative provider with entirely free-from premises. Please always discuss any concerns you have with me prior to ordering.  

I do offer delivery for corporate orders over £300. This is £30 to Raynes Park or Wimbledon, but increases depending on location. Delivery may not be available on all dates so please mention this at the first point of enquiry if it is important.
