Panic set in when I realised I'd left it a bit late to get a cake made for my son's 18th but my mum found you online and having rung to find out more details, she was extremely pleased with the very helpful information given by the lady she spoke to. I went ahead and ordered (a very user-friendly process) and was absolutely delighted with the I-Phone cake we chose. Fantastic speedy service with next day delivery as promised - why can't all businesses operate as efficiently? Will definitely come back when the next big occasion arrives!

Choosing the right cake size
Choosing the right sized cake is not something to worry about. If you are organising a party you probably have enough to think about already, so let's make this simple.
- So much easier to cut the cake up into regular portions.
- More cake and less sugar paste.
- Usually one third of the price of a shaped cake!
We work on 2 inches square of cake per person (5cm x 5cm x 8cm).
For small children you can halve the above.
On our web site we use the following notation for our cakes.
Cake Size Cake Size (Cms.) Board Size Number of Portions
Small 8 inches 20 10 inches 16 - 20
Medium 10 inches 25 12 inches 25 - 40
Large 12 inches 30 14 inches 36 - 60
Extra Large 14 inches 35 16 inches 50 - 80
16 Inch 16 inches 40 18 inches 65 - 90
18 Inch 18 inches 45 20 inches 80 - 120
- How much other food will you be offering.
- Are you intending everyone has cake?
- Is the cake more for show than eating.
- Do you want some left over for absent guests.
- What is your budget?
