Are you getting married? Well congratulations. It’s all so exciting. Welcome to our wedding section. Planning this significant day can be incredibly stressful, but your cake is about to be one less thing for you to worry about. Check out our wedding cake FAQs below to help answer some key questions as you make your way through the delightful process of picking your dream cake.
The cake size is dependent on how many people you intend to feed. See our cake sizing guide to help figure out how much cake you’ll need.
Yes you can. During the consultation, we can discuss the various options.
Yes you can. Some of our wedding cake flavours are fruity with a combination of fruit coulis and fruit slices in between layers.
Yes we do. Our dessert table options include donuts, donut holes, meringue kisses, cake truffles and cupcakes, amongst other options. Feel free to ask during the cake consultation.
For wedding cakes, we do not provide flowers. We prefer to work with your wedding florist to ensure synergy between the venue florals and the cake florals. Should you not be using flowers at the venue, we can include flowers on the quotation.
We do make dummy cakes for sale. Please call or email us to inquire.
Yes this is an option we have available and can be a slightly more cost effective option.
As with all our cakes, we are open to drawing inspiration from pictures, however we do not replicate cakes. Cakes are pieces of art and such are unique.
We try our very best to identify ingredients that may cause an allergic reaction for those with food allergies. However there is always risk of contamination as in our bakery we use the following:
* Gluten
* Products with nuts & nut by-products
* Eggs & egg by-products
* Milk & dairy products
* Wheat
Although we have strict cross contamination policies; we cannot guarantee a total absence of these items in any of our products. Customers with food allergies must be aware of this risk. We Like Cake will not assume any liability for adverse reactions from the food consumed, or items one may come in contact with whilst consuming our products.
We primarily work with buttercream , and ganache. We do make some exceptions for fondant cakes. Feel free to contact us with your design and we will happily talk through some options.
Buttercream is a stable and versatile frosting option. Depending on your design, we may be able to create it using buttercream. Email us at orders@welikecake.co.za to book a consultation and we can discuss the various possibilities to make your dream cake a reality.
We prefer to work with fresh blooms, however we do make exceptions for sugar flowers. Feel free to call us with your inquiry.
We deliver throughout the Johannesburg Metropolitan area.
We recommend that we deliver the cake to ensure it arrives in meticulous condition. Our delivery fee is calculated by distance and our setup fee is R250.00. Once we have the details of the wedding venue, we can provide an accurate quotation for the delivery.
We have a range of wooden and acrylic wedding themed cake toppers available for purchase. We can also order custom cake toppers at an additional cost.
We have a wide range of cake stands available for hire. Feel free to inquire or send images and we’ll do our very best to supply something similar to make your cake table one to remember.
We recommend that the cake remain refrigerated for as long as possible, particularly in the heat of the summer. This will ensure it looks great on display and for photos, but also tastes great.
Depending on how long the cake is kept on display, and the temperature on the day, it can. Think of how butter can soften or even completely melt if left on the counter on a hot summer day. Similarly, cakes made of buttercream will likely do the same. Make sure the cake is kept out of direct sunlight, and limit the time the cake is kept on display. Also, is the ground level? It might look level, or level enough but if you have a buttercream cake, the buttercream will soften and any slant to the table might just cause the cake to slide, Even with supports, the cake could start looking like the leaning tower of Giza.
We make our cakes as close to the date as possible (usually a day or two before). However, in peak season, with high detail cakes or with larger cakes, we may need to bake layers 3-4 days earlier to give us enough time to decorate and cool the cake so it transports well and décor dries in place.
To avoid disappointment, we advise that you book your wedding cake at least 3-6 months in advance, especially during peak season. To secure your booking, you will need to pay a 50% deposit. The outstanding balance must be paid 7 days before the delivery date. We will provide a full refund if the cake is cancelled within 45 days of the wedding. Should you cancel within 30 days, you will be able to get a 25% refund.
Not at all. With so many decisions to be made, you may need to make changes closer to the time. You have up to 2 months before the wedding date to finalize details and pay for any additional amounts that may arise.
Yes you can. However, depending on the changes made, you may incur additional charges which will be added to the outstanding amount.
Step 1: Book a cake consultation with us. Liz, the founder and creative director will meet with you and your party to discuss the details of your cake. Even if you already know what flavor and design you’d like, come in for the tasting and take all the selfies with your tribe, to mark the special occasion.
Step 2: We send you a quote for your consideration based on the details we discussed. Changes and amendments can be made here.
Step 3: Should you accept the quote, a 50% deposit is made to secure your date and slot.
