Everything you might want to know about booking a consultation, serving sizes, allergy and dietary information, our service and how to order.

Consultations

To discuss ideas for your special cake, flavours, fillings or decoration, or to taste a sample, we will be pleased to arrange a consultation at our Harrogate base. Please get in touch through our Contact Us page.

Before booking, please note that with only Kean baking and decorating all our cakes we mostly make cakes for weekend and bank holiday weddings. We also don’t make naked or semi-naked cakes as we are unable to accommodate those in the weekly baking schedule.

Our consultations are free, but if you would also like to try three delicious flavour and filling combinations from our Cake Menu, we just make a small £30 charge. This will be deducted from the cost of your cake if you go ahead and make a booking. If you would like to try more, that will be no problem at all. Additional sample cakes for consultations are just £10 each (not deductible).

When to Order

All our cakes are made to order and individually home baked, taking time to ensure each is perfect. If we can accommodate an order we will, but not if that would compromise an existing booking. To avoid disappointment, we recommend ordering as far ahead of your wedding or special event as possible, especially for summer weddings.

Payment Details

A small 25% deposit will secure your booking (non-refundable) and the remaining balance is due 1 month before delivery or collection of your cake. We accept payment by bank transfer or cash. Full payment must be received before the due date to ensure delivery.

Delivery

Serving Yorkshire and beyond, we will deliver and set up your wedding cake within an hours drive of our Harrogate base at a cost of £40. Delivery further afield can be arranged for a small additional charge.

Cake Stand Hire

Many venues can provide a cake stand, but if you would like to hire one, we have elegant 10", 12" or 14" white pedestal cake stands. Each are available to hire at a cost of £20.  An £80 deposit is payable on booking, £60 of which is refunded on return of the cake stand undamaged and in the same condition as supplied within 3-days of your event.

Price Guide

Every wedding and celebration cake we make is individually designed to customer requirements. Prices will vary according to the size of the cake and complexity of the design, depending on the amount of labour intensive elements.

Most of our cakes are in the price range below, based on all cake tiers. Very labour intensive designs could exceed these average prices. Incorporating a dummy tier or tiers will reduce the price and serving sizes whilst retaining an impressive centrepiece design.

We will be pleased to provide a quote and sketch design after talking through design ideas and options with you.

Portion Guide

A typical serving size for a wedding cake is often 1" x 1" x the height of the tier. Dessert servings are slightly larger at 2” x 1” x the height of the tier.

Our standard height tiers have three layers of sponge and are typically 6” high.

Our signature extra tall tiers have five layers of sponge and are typically around 10” high. When sliced each portion is cut in half, providing double the number of servings of a standard height tier.

Allergy and Dietary Information

Please let us know if you have any special dietary, food allergy or food intolerance requirements. These are important considerations when ordering your cake or wedding favours. We have some deliciously moist gluten-free sponge cakes.

We take great care to prevent or minimise the risk of cross contamination when preparing your wedding cake or favours, however our premises are not nut-free. We bake cakes containing nuts and our main oven is used to bake macarons which contain ground almonds. We cannot therefore guarantee no cross-contamination. Please do discuss with us any special arrangements you would like us to make to cater for any food allergy or intolerance requirements you or your guests may have.
