Welcome to Weddings by Carinestarbakes.
It’s your wedding day, there’s gonna be a cake………but not just any cake…… why not make it THE CAKE that family and friends will still be talking about on your 5th, 10th, 25th anniversary. Our mission is to introduce a new standard of wedding cakes in Norfolk—beautifully designed statement pieces that delight the eye and deliver an unforgettable taste experience.
We understand how important your cake and dessert table is on your special day. That’s why hours of love go into designing and making every cake to ensure we create a stunning centerpiece that’s guaranteed to wow your guests.
Some couples like to be very involved in the design process, working with us to decide what they’d like on each tier of the cake, whereas others are happy to give a colour scheme and a few inspiration pictures and leave the exact design up to us. It’s completely up to you how involved you’d like to get in the design process but don’t worry, you have the final say on the design.

Starting prices are provided for common size combinations and are based on our standard round cakes, with tiers measuring approximately 8 inches in height.

Every wedding cake we create is bespoke, so the final price can vary depending on your chosen design, shape combinations, floral elements, tier height, and the overall intricacy of the cake. The prices shown are intended as a guide only. For a personalised quotation, please feel free to get in touch—we’d love to discuss your ideas.
THE BOOKING PROCESS
STEP 1 | Tasting & Consultation
Once you’ve set your wedding date, please get in touch to check availability. I recommend booking your wedding cake at least four months in advance, as peak dates fill quickly. We're currently taking bookings up to one year ahead, so it’s never too early to enquire.
If you already have your mind set on us making your cake, your date can be secured with a £50 down payment, which will reserve the date, and book a design consultation session after you've had your tasters. When getting in touch, please share as much detail as possible about your cake design and requirements.
Cake tasting boxes are available periodically and include six flavours for £35 (UK postage applies)—often the groom’s favourite part! This charge will be complimentary if you book any of our tiered cakes valued over £650.
STEP 2 | Final Design Consultation
This is when we bring your cake ideas together—in person or virtually, over a cuppa. We’ll finalise your design, confirm flavours, and review any tasting feedback or additional requests.
By this stage, you’ll likely have your colour palette, florals, and styling details confirmed, allowing us to design a cake that fits seamlessly with your day. We'll also advise on the ideal size and number of tiers.
Following our consultation, you’ll receive a detailed quote based on the final design and any agreed wedding favours. We aim to finalise all cake details at this stage, so having a list of must-haves is helpful.
STEP 3 | Payment, Delivery & Set up
Once you’re happy to proceed, a 25% deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is due one month before the wedding, allowing you to relax knowing everything is taken care of.
Delivery is strongly recommended for wedding cakes due to their size and structure. With professional experience in transporting tiered cakes, we ensure safe delivery to your venue.
- Delivery fees are calculated based on distance from NR20, Dereham
- A £35 setup fee applies for the on-site styling and display of cakes with three or more tiers
On delivery, your cake will be fully set up and ready for the event before being handed over to a designated contact (such as a family member, friend, or wedding planner).
Wedding Favours & Dessert Tables
Dessert tables are the perfect way to complement your statement wedding cake. We have a range of options for you to choose from priced per dozen (minimum order).
- White chocolate & coconut truffles, £40
- Cupcakes, £40
- Brownies & Blondies, £40
- Cakesicles, £75
- Cake or Cheesecake shooters, £80
Packages can be tailored to suit your exact needs.
Rentals
We offer a beautiful selection of cake stands, cake spacers/seperators and styling props available to hire to perfectly showcase your wedding cake and treats.
Hire fee is £10 per item, per day, with a £100 refundable security deposit.
The deposit will be returned in full once all items are received back within three days of the wedding and in good condition.
