CAKE TASTING We DO NOT offer cake tasting in our wedding cake business. Why not? Each cake should be unique and have a different flavour, not be exactly the same as the one beside it and the one that was baked last week. 

Most cake shops do not vary in their cake flavours and are able to bake sample cakes that will taste exactly the same as the final cake they make. 

Why are our cakes different?  Because we do not use the standard Bakels dry cake mix powder with artificial paste flavourings to make our cakes that most cake shops and bakeries use – this is a mix that cheaply and effectively creates the same cake, the same flavour and the same consistency with each and every cake.  While being employed in different commercial cake shops and bakeries I decided I did not want to  have commercial tasting cakes.  Many people consider commercial cakes to taste dry and plasticy, this is because commercial dry mixes are simply mixed with water and do not use fresh eggs (which in my opinion are imperative to a gorgeous moist cake) or natural flavours.

While large commercial cake shops need quick mixes to help them make the same cake time and time again very quickly and easily, this is not how I wish to make my cakes so I use my own fresh ingredients including fresh eggs and assorted cake batter ingredients mixed to make my own flavours.  So one chocolate cake I bake one week can be different to the chocolate cake I bake the week after – I like to be different and that includes not using 25 kilo bags of dry mix even if it means hours more work!

I am a single cake artist working on my own most of the time, I do all of the baking myself with no help unless I am really busy with unexpected and urgent wedding cake orders, AND I have lots and lots of flavours to choose from - if I were to offer taste testing I would be forever baking cakes other than the ones I have to create for my cake art. 

I already bake from early in the morning to late at night to get my orders completed on time and there is just not enough time in my day to make extras for tastings.

CAKE SAMPLES - I have been asked in the past to provide small cakes for tasting and I have done this without cost only to find out afterwards that the customers were dishonest and simply wanted free cake.  Sorry but I am a one-man business and cannot afford to feed the world so please do not ask me to provide sample cakes, I will not do it after being taken advantage of one too many times

 Many customers contact me afterwards to say how lovely and moist the flavour of the cakes were – please do check our customers comments on our website to see what they are saying!
