Southwell Cakery Full Description
Our studio is located at Southwell Business Centre, in the beautiful minster town of Southwell in Nottinghamshire. It has held a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 since opening in 2015, and is open most week days 9.15am - 3.00pm, or by appointment. We work closely with a number of local venues being one of their selected preferred suppliers. Our designs are very rarely repeated, they are mainly bespoke but our 'Stephanie' and 'Isabella' styles have inspired many other cakes. Our style could be described as classic with a twist, we love clean lines and statement blooms. Please view our portfolio of cakes on our Website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. We are very proud to have been shortlisted for the Bridebook Awards and received a Gold accreditation. We have also reached the regional finals of The Wedding Industry Awards, and been shortlisted for the English Wedding Awards and the I Do Wedding awards.

Creative cakes

I've met Ruth lots of times as we both are wedding suppliers in the Nottingham area. Her cakes look divine and are often really creative. She's a great person to work with, always professional and polite, and she is highly sought after within the area.

Stunning Cakes

Ruth's cakes not only look amazing they taste delicious. (I know as I've worked with some fabulous clients who've had their cake made by this lovely lady). It's always a delight to provide flowers to dress the gorgeous creations, made at Southwell Cakery. Highly recommend

Cupcake couture

Ruth made our cake selection process an absolute breeze, from the very first enquiry through to setting up on the day. We decided not to have a traditional wedding cake and opted for a cupcake tower instead. We had 5 different flavours, which were all delicious and each flavour had its own unique design & complimented our whole theme a treat!! Everyone was so complimentary over both the look & taste of the cakes, safe to say we didnt bring many home the day after!! Our cupcake tower was quite the feature in our wedding reception and we cannot that Ruth enough! Very talented & lovely lady and we highly recommend!

It looked and tasted amazing.

Ruth did an absolutely fantastic cake for our recent wedding. It looked and tasted amazing. She made things so much easier for me by liaising with the florist directly. If your looking for someone to supply a cake for any event I really cannot recommend Southwell Cakery enough!! Thanks again Ruth for making us such a beautiful cake for our amazing day xxx

Above and beyond throughout our experience!

Upon being recommended to Ruth by our florist, she went above and beyond throughout our experience! My husband and I both work away a lot and had to squeeze all our wedding appointments into a short space of time and Ruth made this very easy for us! Ruth made us an absolutely beautiful 3 tier semi naked cake decorated with fresh fruits which was complimented on by all guests! After asking when and where we wanted our cake, she dealt with our reception venue directly to ensure the cake was on time and decorated with our own topper! I would definitely recommend her x

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Can I say my own? It was the first cake I was involved with, I helped design it and looking back, this is where it all started for me.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Our style could be described as timeless, elegant and sophisticated, with a contemporary edge and a touch of whimsy, but we are lead by our clients ideas.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I started Southwell Cakery from scratch after being made redundant. I have worked hard, and my business has grown, and it has become my fourth 'baby'.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

As soon as you decide you want to use a supplier, book them.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I love typography on wedding cakes. Including your initials, or a special message is a lovely, subtle personal touch.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We invite all couples to a free, no obligation consultation at our studio in Southwell. Here there is the opportunity to view our range of show cakes, try samples and discuss in detail the couples wedding cake ideas. From there, we raise a quotation(s) and forward to the client. It maybe that there are further discussion, and alterations made to the design. We keep couples dates penciled in our diary for 14 days after a quotation is given. A £100 non refundable/non transferable deposit secures a wedding booking, designs are finalised 6-8 weeks before the event with balance payments due one month prior to the wedding. Sugar flowers are made a few weeks before the wedding, with the cake being started four days before. We liaise with the venue and any other suppliers involved with the cake to confirm arrangements. One the day, we personally deliver and set up the wedding cake so it is ready before any guest arrive.
