Question 1

How do we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

The best way to book is by completing the enquiry (https://www.lydiakraitmancakes.com/enquire)form on the website. This allows me to check availability for your date and gather a few initial details about your wedding. Once availability is confirmed, I’ll guide you through the next steps.

Question 2

How far in advance should we enquire?

Accepted Answer

Most couples get in touch around 6–18 months in advance, particularly for spring and summer weddings. If your date is sooner, it’s still worth enquiring – availability does change, and I’m always happy to see if I can help.

Question 3

Do you offer cake tastings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you’ve enquired, you’re welcome to order one of my seasonal tasting boxes (£39), which can be delivered nationwide. They include a curated selection of signature flavours - the perfect way to decide on your favourites over a pot of tea at home.

Question 4

Can you design a cake that’s unique to us?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Every cake is bespoke, inspired by your story, your venue, and the season. I often weave in Somerset’s finest produce -- from Cheddar strawberries in June to orchard apples in October, so your cake feels both personal and of the moment.

Question 5

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Accepted Answer

I can create gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan cakes on request. However, please note that all cakes are baked in my kitchen where gluten, dairy, nuts, and other allergens are handled, so I cannot guarantee they are entirely allergen-free.

Question 6

How much do your cakes cost?

Accepted Answer

Every design is quoted individually, but as a guide:
 • Three-tier wedding cakes start at £400
 • Intricate painted or sugar-flower designs typically range £700–£1,200
 • Dessert tables start at £12 per guest
Once you complete the enquiry form, I’ll provide a clear, tailored quote.

Question 7

Do you deliver and set up the cake?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I personally deliver and set up every bespoke cake and dessert table to ensure everything is perfectly styled on the day. Delivery is quoted based on distance from my Somerset kitchen.

Question 8

What happens if the weather is hot?

Accepted Answer

Buttercream and chocolate can be sensitive to heat, but don’t worry - I’ll liaise with your venue to make sure the cake is kept cool before display. I’ll also advise on the best timings for cutting and serving so everything looks and tastes its best.

Question 9

Can you style the dessert table too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Full styling is part of my dessert and grazing table service. I bring risers, trays, florals, and seasonal touches so your table becomes a show-stopping centrepiece, not just a place for food.

Question 10

What happens to cake stands and props afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Any hired stands or props will either be collected by me the following day, or can be returned to my Somerset kitchen within 3 days. This will all be arranged in advance.

Question 11

Do you make cakes for smaller celebrations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer one-tier cutting cakes, intimate dessert tables, and picnic or grazing feasts - perfect for elopements and smaller weddings. Just fill out the enquiry form with your plans and I’ll suggest the best option.

Question 12

Do you only work in Somerset?

Accepted Answer

I’m based in Somerset and most often deliver across the South West, but I also travel further afield on request. Travel charges apply for longer distances.
