All cakes are bespoke and made to order. We do have various magazines for inspiration.  We can either design something new or you can choose a design from our portfolio which we can alter to incorporate your colour scheme and flowers.

Consultations and cake tasting

Consultations are by appointment only. We are happy to provide cake tasting samples at the consultation.  Please indicate which you would like to try.

Costs

We always supply you with a detailed quotation following the consultation.  Our prices include delivery and set-up at the wedding venue to ensure your cake looks its very best.  We will contact the venue directly regarding timings and set up.

Lead Times

It is advisable for you to book your wedding cake with us as soon as you have confirmed the wedding date.  We work on a first come, first served basis.

Allergies and Special Dietary Requirements

• Nuts:
Our fruitcakes are the only cakes that contain nuts as an ingredient. All of our other flavours do not contain nuts as an ingredient but we cannot guarantee that the ingredients that we use are not contaminated at source.  If you have a nut allergy, please contact me personally to discuss your requirements.

• Alcohol:
Our fruitcakes are made with brandy, but we can also make them alcohol free if required.

• Dairy Free:
This option is available. Please call to discuss your requirements.

Payment terms

To confirm an order, a non-refundable deposit of £50 is required. Half the balance is due 6 months prior to the wedding, and the final balance 1 month before.

Cake Design Alterations

Design alterations can be made up to but no later than 1 month before the wedding. If the alteration affects the cost then your balance will be adjusted accordingly.

Cakes decorated with fresh flowers

If your cake design requires fresh flowers, your florist will supply these. We will decorate the cake with the flowers at the venue.

Please note some flowers are not suitable for use as a cake decoration. Ask your florist for details regarding toxicity. We cannot be liable for any contamination to our food product that may arise from their misuse.

Cakes decorated with diamantes

Please note that the diamante crystals that are used to decorate some of our cakes are not edible and must be removed from your cake before serving. All of our decorative gems are only used at the clients request and Benjamin Lee accepts no responsibility for any physical harm that may arise from their use.

Stand hire

We generally use the silver cake stands at the venue, but we do cover these with fabric.  If you require a special stand e.g. for individual desserts, we can supply these.   A cheque deposit of £100 is required. This is held in your file until the stand is returned to us. Stands must be returned within 5 days.

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel your wedding cake order for any reason up to twenty one (21) days before your wedding date, the deposit (£50) and half the balance is non-refundable. All other monies paid will be refunded by business check within fourteen (14) business days.
