BespokeWedding Cake Design
My goal is to tie your cake in with your stunning venue and beautiful elements of your wedding. I love contemporary, modern styles, using seasonal flowers and hand painted landscapes and designs . There are certain varieties of flowers which are not suitable for cakes, so I love to paint these, so they can still be present on your show stopping cake!
I make eco friendly choices when designing and making my cakes, whilst still ensuring I maintain my high standard of craftmanship
Prices for bespoke cakes start from
2 tiers to feed upto 50 - £340/£390
3 tiers to feed 80 - £440/£520
3 tiers to feed upto 110 - £480/£570
First price for ganache finish - Second for fondant finish
Not all of us like having too many options and all this wedding planning is causing too much stress. If this is you, follow the link below to the fixed design and price gallery.
Booking in your wedding cake
I love working with my couples and hearing all about their special day. To be included in such a milestone life event doesn’t go unnoticed and there is always a healthy balance of excitement and nerves to make sure it’s perfect.
Here is a 4 step breakdown of how the bespoke cake planning journey works.
Step One
Let’s get you booked in!
As I only take on 3-4 weddings a month so I can maintain a high standard I advise my couples to book in their date when they have secured their venue.
If you feel like we will be a match made in cake heaven then check availability here
A £100 non refundable deposit books you in, ready to start the design process in due course.
Step Two
The tasty bit!
After your date is firmly in in the diary, I will arrange getting one of our sustainable cake sample box sent to you in the post to enjoy at home.
Some couples opt to have theirs straight away, whilst others will have theirs a few months before the big day.
You will receive one of my complimentary cake sample boxes containing 5 flavours of your choice to try.
Step Three
Let’s have a chat
4 - 6 months before your day, when final numbers, timings of the day and when you have had your last few meetings with the florist and venue, I will be In touch to get a design consultation booked in.
Consultations are held via a zoom link on a Tuesday or Wednesday early evening throughout the year.
I will also send you over a questionnaire to fill in before our video call to get down details of the day. It means we can spend the consultation having a good old chat about your wedding and get a design idea ready.
Following your consultation, I will send you over a selection of cake sketches and quotes. We can then finalise your wedding cake design and flavour choices over email. When you have confirmed all the details on the invoice are correct, we are all set!
Step Four
What happens next?
You can sit back and relax. I will liaise with your venue, the florist (if we are using one) and anyone else who will be involved in the cake planning for the day to arrange delivery and set up.
The final bill is due 4 weeks before your wedding and you can feel safe in knowing everything regarding your cake is in hand.
I will send you over a quick email in the week leading up to your day just to put any anxious minds at ease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try your cakes before I book in?
You would be more than welcome to order a cake sample box before securing your date, however although I aim to let couples know if someone else has an interest in the same day it is not always possible if there is a crossover.
I would always advice checking in with me first to make sure we have your date available before purchasing one of our delicious cake sample boxes.
Can I have a consultation before booking?
Although I only hold consultations after a booking has been made, I am more than happy to have a quick chat on the phone if you would like a little more information before making a booking or simply to know I am human and not a cake bot! I am only able to offer consultations on orders over £300
Do you hire cake stands?
A cake stand can really make a cake look even more fantastic so I currently have a range of cake stands available for hire for between £20 and £30 with a £50 - £100 returnable deposit (depending on the stand) which can be used with any order over £100 (cake stand to be returned to Kinson with all packaging included, in the same condition and within the week following the event).
Ask for details when enquiring about your cake or during your consultation and I will recommend which I feel would be perfect for your showstopper.
Do you deliver?
I really would recommend that you let me set up for you, so you can have a completely stress free day.
I cover Dorset, Wiltshire & Hampshire. Locations further afield may be possible so get in contact and I will see if I can help.
Delivery is charged at 75p per mile plus £15 per hour in delivery time from BH11 9DG
For example a venue 12 miles away taking 30 mins to reach would incur a £33 delivery charge
Deliveries will be before 12pm or charged an additional £25 for later deliveries unto 4pm
(Please note, wedding cakes of more than 2 tiers will need to be delivered. I promise you delivering wedding cakes is a scary business!)

"Working with Tasha on our wedding cake was an absolute dream. "
"She worked so collaboratively with us and our ideas, and her creativity and thoughtfulness led to her design being something so incredibly personal and perfect. We gave her a small idea and she ended up coming back with more than we ever expected.
Tasha was always so quick to respond to us and keep us up to date on what was happening. I was able to put 100% trust in her through the entire process and her delivery on the day was seamless.
On top of our cake looking absolutely beautiful, it tasted absolutely incredible as well.
I would absolutely recommend The Diamond Baker to anyone. Planning an event is stressful and I can assure you that with Tasha, it will be one less thing you have to worry about.
Thank you so so much for everything!"
