The easy, but not very helpful, answer is that “it depends”.  Obviously, the type of cake and the other food being served may affect the sizing, however, as a rule of thumb, the following table gives an idea:

Everyone is different.  Some clients know exactly what they want.  Some have a rough idea but want pointers and help.  Others want lots of suggestions and advice (often not just about cakes!).

In the end, everyone wants to have the confidence that comes from working with a trusted pair of hands.

Initially, we’ll set up a very informal chat (at my house, or wherever is most convienient/comfortable for you), which is completely no-obligation and free.  We can discuss your requirements and I can sketch out some designs and suggestions.  If you already have some pictures of cakes which you like, feel free to bring them along!

If you like my ideas (and I hope you will) we take the planning and arrangements further.

My phone number and email are shown at the top of the page.

I am based in Berkshire but have completed commissions in many parts of the country including London.  Some cakes do not travel particularly well, so if your venue is more than around 1½ hour from Reading, it is probably best to contact me to see if it is feasible.

As with all my work, I am flexible and will do my best to accomodate all requirements.
