Questions
How far in advance should I order a wedding cake?
Wedding cakes should be booked 6 months in advance, especially for fruit cakes requiring maturation. Shorter notice orders may be possible depending on availability.
Do you offer allergy-free cake options?
Due to home kitchen operations, we cannot guarantee allergy-free products. However, alcohol-free options are available upon request.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash and bank transfers. Cheques are not accepted. A 50% deposit is required for celebration cakes, with full payment for wedding cakes.
Can I have different flavours in a tiered cake?
Yes, tiered cakes can feature multiple flavours. Traditional wedding cakes often combine fruit cake with modern sponge options like vanilla or chocolate.
What happens if I need to cancel my order?
Cancellations require written notice. Deposits are non-refundable, and orders cancelled within 7 days of the event may incur full charges. Full details in our Terms & Conditions.

Report
Did the cake for my wedding a couple of weeks ago. We elected to go for a single top cake and a cupcake tower with a variety of flavours. Don''t let the simplicity fool you; they were made perfectly to our specifications. We had a taste testing where she gave expert advice on complimenting flavours as we'd gone slightly too chocolatey. She also delivered them on the morning of the wedding and they went down an absolute hit - we had barely any left to take back with us! I would 100% recommend Brodie's Buns for your culinary needs.
