We can work with the most discerning tastes

There is so much choice nowadays when it comes to designing your wedding cake that it may seem like a daunting task. Long gone are the days of the traditional white wedding cake as more and more couples are pushing the boundaries and opting for something a little bit different. Whether you’re looking for something that is colorful or neutral, bold or modest, detailed or minimalistic, we will work with you every step of the way to ensure your wedding cake is individually designed to suit your particular style, ultimately creating a centerpiece that is both stunning and delicious.

Step 1

Secure Your Booking 

As soon as you have booked your venue, it is best to get in touch to check my availability. Our lead designer Aramide is solely responsible for designing, baking and decorating all of the cakes at The Sweet Layers Factory, therefore her availability is limited to one wedding cake order per week to maintain her high standards. As a result, certain dates get booked up well in advance. If you love the SLF style, then you can secure your wedding date by paying a $100 non-refundable booking fee. The design of your wedding cake can be finalized at a later date.

Step 2

Design & Tasting

After securing your wedding date Aramide will send you a complimentary Signature Tasting Box for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. This will include her five most popular flavors. If you wished to upgrade to a Bespoke Tasting Box this can be arranged at an additional cost. We will then arrange a Design Consultation to be held via Zoom where we will meet virtually to discuss the design of your wedding cake. So please feel free to send me your mood board or any inspirational pictures in advance. Following your consultation, I will send you a selection of cake sketches with accurate quotes. We can then finalize your wedding cake design and flavor choices via email.

Step 3

Leave the Rest to Us!

Two months before your wedding day, Aramide will be in touch to confirm your chosen wedding cake design and flavors. This is when your remaining balance is also due. She will liaise directly with your wedding venue to arrange delivery and set up of your wedding cake, so all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding day.

Other Wedding Details

How We Cater Weddings 

We know planning a wedding is overwhelming, and the details matter. That's why we're committed to a stress-free process for your big day. Our transparent pricing and straightforward ordering process available make it easy to order your dream wedding cake. You'll have complete clarity on what you're getting and the cost, with no minimums or hidden fees that some other wedding shops charge.

Wedding Tastings 

We understand that some people may not want to incur the additional cost of a cake tasting, so they may rely on our Google reviews to ensure the quality of our products. While we don't offer in-person tastings, we strive to provide all the information you need to feel confident in your choice.

Serving Count 

Next to all cake sizes on the website, we show how many servings there are. Our smallest size is the Tiny, which serves 5-6, and our largest is the Double Large, which serves up to 60 (see the Sizes section above for more details). For receptions that require more than 60 servings, we also provide Sweet Table Packages, which can be a great complement to your Wedding Cake. We offer different options to suit various budgets, so there's something for everyone.

Courier Delivery 

On your big day, we'd deliver and set up your beautiful cake. The delivery fee will depend on the distance and the time it takes to set up, and this cost will be included in the final price quote that I provide you with. You can sit back and relax knowing that your cake will be delivered and set up with care and attention to detail, leaving you to enjoy your day to the fullest. 

Each of my wedding cakes is a unique creation, designed to match your individual preferences and style. The final price of the cake depends on various factors, such as the size, flavors, and the amount of intricate sugar work involved, such as piping, sugar flowers, and hand-painted designs. 

Pickup 

We provide our clients with the option of either picking up their cakes themselves or assigning someone else to do so on the wedding day. Our cakes come in a white box with a black ribbon that serves as a convenient carrying handle. To ensure safe transportation, we advise customers to hold the box from the handle at the top, support the bottom, and avoid squeezing the sides of the box. We also offer assistance in placing the cake in the customer’s car.
