About Charlotte Raymond Cake Design
I’m Charlotte Raymond, a wedding cake designer based in Hampshire. I produce beautiful, bespoke wedding cakes to celebrate your wedding day. I work with you to choose the flavours, decoration, design and setting to your cake, and will deliver and set everything up so you don’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying your day and of course your cake.
My service is tailored entirely to you, I specialise in buttercream wedding cakes with a modern aesthetic, decorated with fresh fruits and/or flowers that complement the theme of your wedding and your tastes as a couple.Whether you’re looking for a simple single tier or a 4-tier showstopper, I am able to offer a cake to perfectly suit your wedding day big or small.
Keeping it seasonal is what I’m all about, so give me Peonies in May and Dahlias in September, please! I also encourage my clients to stick to this ethos with my cake flavours. That’s why you’ll find wild blackberry jam in your Victoria sponge in autumn and fresh raspberry jam in summer.Not only is sticking with the seasons my thing, but so is my passion for something a little bit different. So yes, you can find your Victoria Sponge here (too much of a crowd-pleaser not to), but what sets my cake heart on fire are flavours like rum, lime & coconut, or dark chocolate & passion fruit, or honey, orange and parsnip!
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you supply your cakes to?
I am based in the historic market town of Wimborne Minster, in beautiful Dorset. I offer delivery to Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and Wiltshire. I have been as far as Kent with a cake before!
Can we taste some cake before we decide to design our cake with you?
Absolutely, in my opinion tasting some cake is the best part of wedding planning! You will receive a selection of ten mini cakes, comprising five of my most popular flavours. Due to the cakes being very delicate, they are available for collection only. The cost is £35 for a box of signature tasting cakes. If you wish to order a bespoke box, you may do so for an additional charge.
We have guests with dietary requirements, are you able to accommodate them?
If you or one of your wedding guests has an allergy please do get in touch. I am able to offer gluten free and nut free cakes, however egg and dairy free cakes are not my speciality. Most often my couples order separate smaller free from cakes or cupcakes so that no one goes without cake! Please note though that I work in my kitchen that stores all nuts, dairy, eggs & wheat/gluten so if anyone has a severe allergy I wouldn’t be able to help.
Do you offer delivery & will you set our cake up for us?
I couldn’t imagine letting anyone else touch your cake before you get to the wonderful tradition of cutting your cake. I cover all of the delivery & set-up so that you can relax and don’t have to stress about a family member driving your precious cake!
How do we find out if our wedding date is available?
Please get in touch via the contact page on my website. As much information as you can provide in that first email really helps get the process of designing your dream cake started.
Do you have a price list we can see?
I work with my couples/wedding planners to create your one of a kind masterpiece. All of the cakes I produce are unique to each couple, therefore prices listed here are to be used as a guide only. Two tier cakes start from £475, three tier cakes start from £550 and four tier cakes start from £725.
Can we choose more than one flavour for our cake?
Of course, in fact I recommend it! If for example you are having a three tier cake, you can have three different flavours.
