Wedding Cakes
At Southwood Cakes I strive to bring your dream wedding cake to life. Below is a rough guide as to the flavours I offer and the kinds of prices you can expect from me.
​All my wedding cakes are moist and bursting with flavour. Each layer is filled with a silky smooth Swiss meringue buttercream. Preserves, curds and fillings are generously poured between each layer making sure every slice encompasses all the flavours. Most cakes are finished with a smooth white chocolate ganache outer coating. White chocolate ganache not only tastes delicious but it makes for a very secure structure to your cake, which is extremely important when a cake is standing on display for hours. Ganache stands up to warmer summer temperatures, giving me the confidence that the cake will still be in perfect condition for the cake cutting ceremony. The prices below are for fully ganached cakes, if you would prefer buttercream just let me know.
All the prices below give a rough guide for cost and may vary depending on the style of cake you would like. Please note, the portion sizes are also just a rough guide. Some cake designs might suit taller or shorter tiers mixed together, but we can discuss this during the consulation.

Non-refundable deposits are taken to secure your date, and we can discuss a rough idea of the kind of cake you would like at this stage. Feel free to send over inspiration pictures should you have any. The final design of the cake will take place around 4 months in advance of the wedding where we can chat in person/via zoom or Whatsapp. I ask for lots of detailed information at this stage to make sure the design is perfect for you both.
