Your Wedding Journey at The Fairy Queen
Congratulations on your engagement! Thank you for considering us as your wedding cake designers and to be a part of your special day. Our aim is to create a bespoke and personal cake to you, the bride and groom. We take inspiration from your stationary, your flowers, colour scheme and sometimes even the wedding gown, to create a cake as unique and individual as you. We only take a limited number of weddings each week to commit the time to each creation. Bearing this in mind, we recommend that you get in touch to reserve your date as soon as possible to ensure availability for your day.
Once we have confirmed availability for your date and you know that you would like a Fairy Queen wedding cake, you can secure the date with a €50, non-refundable deposit. It’s fine at this stage if you haven’t made a decision about the design or style of your cake, we’ll be in touch a few months before to decide on the important details and to arrange a cake tasting.
If you love the look of a buttercream style cake, we arrange a tasting box for you to enjoy at home - just let us know what you’d like to sample from our menu. Once you’ve chosen your flavours, we’ll update our notes and follow up with you, via email or a call, to confirm the price and any design elements such as flowers, colour palette, toppers etc.
Maybe you have decided on a fondant cake and are unsure of design options? We arrange a face to face consultation, at our shop, and go through any design elements you like or take inspiration from your wedding styling such as flowers, stationary, colour palette or theme. You will also have your tasting at this time and choose the flavours for inside your cake. The consultation usually takes around 40 to 50 minutes. Once we have a design for your cake decided, we’ll be in touch via email with a summary of what we discussed and a quotation. If you have a design already in mind and would prefer to have a tasting box at home to enjoy, we can arrange that.
Tasting boxes are €25 each if you have not paid a deposit. If you decide to book your wedding cake with us after enjoying it, the €25 will be taken off the balance of the cake. If you have already paid a deposit or book your cake with us on the day of your consultation, your tasting box is free of charge
The balance of your wedding cake is due 2 weeks before your date. During the week of your wedding, I usually liase with your venue or wedding planner, to co-ordinate the delivery and set up of your wedding cake. If you are having fresh flowers on your cake, I will be in contact with your florist, to arrange final details. All that’s left is for you to arrive and start the celebrations!
“Thank you so much. The cake looked amazing and tasted even better”
