Hi there, I’m Leigh-Anne, Cake Artist & Founder of Leigh-Anne's Flower Cake Design based in Manchester and serving Manchester, Cheshire and the wider North West of the UK.
Firstly, if you’re reading this blog post, there’s a good chance you’re newly engaged, so congratulations! This is such an exciting milestone for both of you as you embark on this beautiful journey together, filled with love, joy, and shared plans for the future.
When Should You Book Your Wedding Cake?
Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable moments in your life. That’s why I believe your wedding cake should be as unique as your love story, carefully crafted to capture the essence of your special day. However, with so many details to plan, the cake is often left until the last minute, and sadly, many couples miss out on this luxurious experience.
I recommend booking your wedding cake approximately 9 to 18 months in advance once you’ve secured your date with the venue—and here’s why!
Time to make sure we’re the perfect fit
While we’ll start designing and finalising your bespoke wedding cake around six months before your wedding day, reaching out early gives us more time to connect and ensure I’m the perfect match for your vision. We’ll have the chance to discuss the style of designs you love and develop a shared idea of your requirements to ensure we’re on the same page—well before you commit financially to secure your booking.
Availability:
Our availability for 2025 is already limited, with popular dates available to be booked up to 18 months in advance! The earlier you enquire, the better your chances of securing your preferred date. Waiting too long could lead to disappointment and unnecessary last-minute stress if we’re fully booked, forcing you to search for an alternative cake artist who may not be your first choice.

Designing Your Bespoke Wedding Cake:
Creating your bespoke wedding cake should not be a rushed experience; It should be a stress-free, enjoyable, and memorable process—a creative and collaborative journey we’ll embark on together. From your initial enquiry and design consultation to choosing your flavours and delivering and setting up your wedding cake at the agreed time, every detail requires time and careful planning.
Booking early allows us to fully understand your vision, discuss design ideas, share my expertise, and liaise with your other suppliers to ensure we create the wedding cake of your dreams. Your wedding cake will likely take inspiration from other elements of your wedding day, such as your colour scheme, floral arrangements, and overall décor. Early booking enables us to collaborate harmoniously with your vendors, ensuring your cake can be delivered and set up in time, beautifully tying everything together in a cohesive manner.
A Seamless, Stress-Free Process:
Booking early guarantees a smooth, stress-free experience, allowing us ample time to fine-tune every detail of your cake design and make any necessary revisions. You’ll enjoy a luxurious experience, knowing your cake is in expert hands. This approach ensures that your bespoke wedding cake follows a clear timeline for design, crafting, delivery, and set-up, ensuring everything is perfect and ready for you to enjoy on your big day.

Your wedding cake shouldn’t be an afterthought; it’s a key part of your wedding day, creating memories that last a lifetime. By prioritising your cake early, we can ensure you’re not just ordering a cake but embarking on a meaningful, personalised journey with me to create your dream wedding cake—one that captures your heart and impresses both you and your guests.
