The beginning of something beautiful...
Congratulation's on your forthcoming Wedding & the beginning of your next chapter together...
How exciting & absolutely mind boggling are all the choices when it comes to putting together your big day? I remember the feeling of planning my own Wedding, like it was yesterday.. trying to ensure you take into account every guests needs but also keep your own personalities at the fore front.
Choosing your cake should be a fun & relaxed part of the planning process, but with so much choice and inspiration available it can be a little daunting, so here at Trula Marie's Little Cake Company, it's our job to listen, to guide, inspire you & to take care of the fine detail so you are able to completely enjoy bringing your dream design to reality. We work closely with industry professionals, our partner venues & your chosen venues to bring you peace of mind.
Trula Maries Little Cake Company would be honoured to make a gorgeous Wedding cake that represents your love story, your cake, your way, so please keep reading to find out more about our Wedding service.
Enquiry.
Every couple is different & so there is no set in stone process, however most commonly -
If we haven't met already at a Wedding fayre or showcase, many couples will make contact via our online form or get in touch via email, this allows us to discuss initial ideas & often I am able to provide a guide price, If you'd like to mover forward you can save your date using our £70 booking fee.
Taste
Next you will receive some delicious samples to try which will allow you to select your flavours, most commonly we will deliver sample boxes to you, to enjoy in your own home, either by hand or guaranteed next day delivery (dependant on area). Enjoying these in your own home, allows you to take your time with no pressure.
You'll sample six of our signature & most popular flavours & if you have used our save the date option to secure your booking, this will be complimentary.
If you would prefer to sample prior to securing your date, please get in touch to discuss options, there will be a small charge incurred.
* Sample boxes are available during low season - every couple of month's during Autumn to Spring only.
Priority is given in Wedding date order.
Dates will be provided ahead of time.
Consultation
Shortly after sampling, we will book a consultation this can be held via video call, at the clients home or suitable meeting place & gives the opportunity to get know one another a little better, understand in greater depth your story, the feel of your wedding & what you hope for your design.
We understand that planning your event is quite often an ongoing process so please be assured we are here throughout to answer any questions, queries & all the fine detail of creating your dream cake.
Design
Following your consultation, you’ll receive an accurate quote, showing any adjustments if needed & a sketch.
This is the fun part - it will be the first time we bring yours & my ideas together in preparation to create your perfect centre piece.
Once design is agreed, you will receive confirmation in writing, this will include details of your remaining balance, which becomes due 6 weeks prior to your big day.
Create
In the weeks leading up to your wedding it is possible we will be working away behind the scenes on details such as sugar flowers. Hours & hours of work go in to this part of the process. We'll also ensure we contact your venue to confirm set up & delivery times.
The week leading up to your wedding is dedicated to your cake. Your chosen flavours are baked and fillings prepared. Your cake is iced, stacked and decorated ready for delivery - some larger cakes will be stacked & decoration finished at the venue due to transporting safely & being extremely heavy to lift.
Trula will also be in touch, to put your mind at ease.
Deliver & Set up.
Trula always personally deliver's & set's up your cake on the day of the wedding, finally bringing the dream to life.
We will have contacted your venue/co-ordinator in the weeks leading up to your big day to arrange this in order to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
We'll take some time for pictures & if time allows social media content of your venue. We only ever use content after your big day, if you do not wish us to share this please make us aware.
Your beautiful cake will be standing proud, providing the perfect centre piece, waiting for you on your arrival.
How soon should I book?
We take a limited number of wedding commission per week/month to ensure high standards & therefore advise ordering your cake as early as possible - It's never too soon, particularly if you are marrying during peak Wedding season!
If in doubt we would generally advise at least, one year to 6 months in advance.
We do try where ever possible to accommodate whirlwind wedding, so please do reach out.
Please bare in mind bank holiday weekends & the summer months do book up very quickly.
