Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order a cake from Confection Perfection ヨ and what do I need to know?
Visit us, call or email us. We make delicious cakes to any specification as well as creating tailored decorations for you to add to your own home made cake. We can meet any theme for any occasion, and have some really simple but effective designs that you can take away! Cakes, decorations and packages are priced individually. Contact us for more information.

What kind of cakes do you create?
We cater for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, work parties, Christmas, Easter, thanksgiving, Halloween, and everything else. Wherever there is cause for a celebration, we are there! We have extensive experience of creating cakes for any theme from dragons, football, delicate bouquets, autumn leaves, summer flowers, fairy castles and cauldrons. We regularly make fruit cakes, sponge cakes, carrot, chocolate and lemon cakes.

Do you cater for allergies and how do you select your ingredients?
We are regularly asked to bake cakes which are both safe and delicious for people with a range of allergies. We are very aware of allergy sensitivity and create nut free cakes as well as dairy free, egg free and gluten free. We are fastidious when it comes to our equipment and utensils to ensure that there is never any exposure to nuts, nut-dust or marzipan and ensure the entire Confection Perfection team are aware of all allergy risks. For gluten allergens, we ask that flour is supplied (available NHS). We do ask that any sensitivity is advised at the time of order, when we will evaluate options and confirm options with you.

How much notice do I need to give for a cake order?
For a wedding cake, we would advise 2-3 months minimum ヨ but if your wedding is between April and September, we would advise placing your order at least 3-5 months ahead of your wedding and for complex designs 6-12 months in advance. For all other celebratory cakes we would advise 3-6 weeks notice, and cakes for business 1-2 weeks (basic package) or 1-3 weeks (business occasions).

If I want to make my own cake, can you provide everything I need?
We can provide everything from tins to icing, marzipan, ribbon and decorations. Decorations can be be-spoke plaques, figurines or curiosities. We also have recipes to help you bake the perfect cake!

If Iメve made a cake, can you ice and finish it for me?
We can't ice your cake, but can decorate it with you in a one-to-one session. We can make decorations for you, and if you have bought a cake from a high street retailer, we can finish it for you. Alternatively, why not come on one of our training courses? You can bring your cake with you and finish it with our help, as part of a fun, informative workshop. Contact us for more information.

Do you do deliveries, and for events, assist with display?
We will happily deliver wedding and stand-supported celebration cakes and regularly do so to venues across the Kent. This enables us to ensure the cake is safe, secure and looking great!

Whether you decide to collect your cake, or have it delivered our packaging ensures that all of our cakes are delivered in pristine condition.

Where is your shop and what are your opening hours?
We have two shops and cake kitchens in Kent.
