Frequently asked questions

Do you offer tastings and design consultations?

Yes! We offer a personal consultation where you can taste samples of our most popular flavours. We also offer luxury tasting boxes, delivered to you work or home, for you to try together in private. Both of these options are complimentary to couples who have paid their booking deposit. Contact us to book yours.

How far in advance should I order my cake?

Most couples book with 12 months notice. However it's always worth enquiring if you are very late in the day as we may have availability on your date. 6 months notice is ideal.

Can you cater for gluten-free guests?

Yes. We offer gluten free wedding cakes.

Can you cater for vegan guests?

We don't offer full vegan wedding cakes, but we can deliver special treats for vegan guests along side your main cake, such as lovely, light vegan cupcakes.

Can you cater for guests with a nut allergy?

No. All of our cakes are made in an environment where nuts are present.

What flavours do you offer?

Our full flavour menu is available here: http://www.doveycakedesign.co.uk/flavour-menu/ But please do ask if you have something special in mind. We are always happy to work with couples to develop new flavours.

Can I have more than one flavour tier?

You can have as many flavours as you have tiers! And any combination of fillings.

Can you decorate a cake I have made?

No. Our insurance and health and safety prevent us from being able to do this.

What is your price range?

Our cakes begin at £250 for a two tier. Every cake is entirely bespoke, so a detailed, no obligation quote can be provided when we have had an initial discussion about your design.

Do you deliver and set up the wedding cake?

Yes. Delivery and setup is complimentary for venues within 20 miles of Oxford. We are able to deliver across the South East, please do ask for a quote should you require this.

Where can you deliver to?

We've delivered to far flung places before - ask us for a quote!

Can I collect the cake and assemble it myself?

No. You are welcome to collect a fully assembled cake which we would pack in to a box for you. However once the cake leaves the studio we cannot be held liable for any damage that may occur in transit. We don't supply tiers separately for you to assemble as we believe that this should be done by a professional, in order to ensure that your wedding cake is perfect.

Do you hire cake stands?

Yes! We like to help you make sure that the cake looks great, and stands are an important part of this. Cake stand hire is complimentary (a refundable damages deposit applies). Cake stands must be returned to us within 7 days of your wedding.

Dovey Cakes was recommended by our florist Penny Blossom, Claire's communication from the start to finish was great, always responding back to the smallest query very quickly. Being able to receive cake sample's via the post, was very helpful as we don't live close. We had individual cupcakes & one small traditional wedding cake for the top, the designs were perfect for each cup cake. Guest loved the flavours & we are still enjoying the fruit cake. Fabulous, thank you again Claire.

My wife and I found Clare faultless throughout the planning and delivery of our wedding cake. From the initial inquiry, to her delivering our cake tasting samples to my wife's work place she was excellent and extremely helpful. We went for a 4 tier raspberry/lemon semi naked cake with seasonal berries and not only did it look amazing but it tasted perfect. We had non-stop compliments on the cake all evening.

We both cannot recommend Clare enough.

I met Clare for the first time at the beginning of 2017, whilst she was exhibiting at a Wedding Fare at The Malmaison in Oxford. I had only just started to set my own business up as "The Event Designer" just a few weeks prior. I remember chatting with Clare that day, whilst eyeing up her gorgeous Cakes, which not only looked amazing, but tasted amazing too!! I then had the pleasure of meeting Clare for the 2nd time in August, as we were on set of a shoot together, which we were both suppliers for. Clare made the most stunning Cake to go with the Theme of the shoot, I was literally in ore of her! Not only very talented,but also a pleasure to work with, professional, friendly and chatty! I will look forward to hopefully working with Clare again in the future! xx

Clare at Dovey Cake Design came to our rescue when my cake designer let me down last minute and saved the day. She was calm and collected and managed to improve our original design and offered us so much more. She invited us to her house for a wonderful cake tasting and design session. She is just charming, polite, talented and exceedingly lovely. Could not be more thankful that she came to our rescue!

I was so impressed with Dovey Cake Designs. The level of customer service from the quick responses to queries, to the beautifully hosted tasting sessions all the way through to delivery on the day made choosing our cake such an exciting part of our planning and we were so well looked after, nothing was too much trouble. The cake on the day was exquisite in both looks and flavour, we received so many compliments from our guests. It really was the icing on the cake!!!

Clare’s craftsmanship and attention to detail is AMAZING and the champagne flavour she did for us was a huge hit, so fresh and delicious. I have received so many compliments, both on its taste and its appearance; I could not recommend her more highly
