Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering a bespoke cake from Thelwall Bakehouse.

Ordering

  • How far in advance should I order?

    I'd recommend getting in touch as early as possible, particularly for weddings and peak periods like summer and Christmas. For birthday cakes I can often accommodate shorter notice - just drop me a message and I'll let you know my availability.

  • How do I place an order?

    Get in touch via the contact page with your occasion, date, rough guest count, and any design ideas. I'll come back to you with a quote and we'll go from there.

  • Do you require a deposit?

    Yes, a deposit is required to secure your date. Full details will be provided when I send your quote.

  • Can I make changes after ordering?

    Minor changes can usually be accommodated up to a certain point before your event date. Get in touch as soon as possible if anything changes.

Design & Flavours

  • Can I choose any flavour?

    Yes - see the Flavours page for a full list. Each tier of a multi-tier cake can be a different flavour if you'd like.

  • Can I order taster cupcakes?

    Yes. I offer taster cupcakes so you can try flavours at home before committing. Available in boxes of 6 or 12. Get in touch to arrange.

  • Can I bring my own design inspiration?

    Absolutely. Pinterest boards, photos, fabric swatches, invitation cards - anything that helps me understand your vision is welcome.

  • Do you make gluten-free or vegan cakes?

    Yes, most flavours are available gluten-free and I offer vegan sponge and buttercream options. Please mention any dietary requirements when you enquire.

Delivery & Collection

  • Do you deliver?

    Delivery is available for weddings and larger events. Get in touch to discuss your requirements and I'll confirm availability for your date and venue.

  • Can I collect my cake?

    Most orders are collected from 66 Thelwall New Road, Warrington. I'll arrange a convenient collection time with you once your order is confirmed.

  • How is the cake packaged?

    All cakes are boxed and ready for collection. For delivered cakes, I take care of transport and setup at your venue.

Pricing

  • How much does a cake cost?

    Every cake is bespoke so pricing depends on size, tiers, flavour, and design complexity. Get in touch with your requirements and I'll provide a personalised quote.

  • Do you charge for delivery?

    Delivery charges depend on your venue location. This will be included in your quote.
