Order by Wednesday. Collect on Saturday.
Cakes made to order in a home kitchen, one bake a week. Choose from the six on this week, or build your own by the number of people at the table.
The week runs one way. Orders close on Wednesday at noon, because the shopping is done on Thursday and there is one oven. Friday is the bake. Saturday between ten and one you collect at the door.
That is also why there are six cakes and not sixty. Each one is finished on the morning it is collected, so what you carry home was cooling four hours earlier.
If you need a cake sooner than the week allows, write anyway. Some weeks there is room in the oven.

Build a cake
Say how many are eating and the size follows. Then the sponge, the filling, and the words for the top, piped by hand in the last half hour. The price adds up as you choose.
Before you order
How far ahead do I need to order?
By Wednesday noon for that weekend. A tiered cake, or anything over twenty servings, needs two weeks and a conversation first.
Can you make it without gluten, or vegan?
Some of them, yes; the product page says which. The kitchen is not free of wheat or nuts, so a serious allergy is a conversation before an order and not a box to tick.
How do I get it home in one piece?
Flat on the car floor, not on the seat, and out of the sun. It leaves here in a box that fits it. Anything with cream goes in the fridge as soon as you are home, and comes out an hour before it is cut.
Do you deliver?
Within the town, by hand, for a flat fee you see at checkout. Further than that it is collected from the door on Saturday morning.
A tiered cake is a different job
Three tiers is not three cakes. Each one is baked, levelled, filled and chilled before it can carry the one above it, the dowels go in the day before, and the piping is done where it will stand, because a cake that has been driven across town with swags on it arrives with fewer swags.
So it is two weeks, a tasting box of three sponges before you decide, and one cake that weekend rather than six.
Tell me the date and how many
Weddings, long tables and birthdays that need more than one cake. The date and the number of people are enough to start; everything else can be decided over the tasting box.
