Our most popular questions when selecting a wedding fruit cake.
Traditional craftsmanship. Thoughtful touches. Cakes your guests will remember.
What sizes do you offer?
We offer single, two-tier, and three-tier wedding cakes in round or square styles.
Popular combinations include:
- Single-tier: 6", 8", 10", or 12"
- Two-tier: 6"/8" (30-35 servings), 8"/10" (60-65 servings)
- Three-tier: 6"/8"/10" (70-80 servings), 8"/10"/12" (130-140 servings)
Servings depend on portion size. For best results, use a serrated knife and clean between cuts.
Can we customise the cake design?
Absolutely! All Grandpa's Wedding Cakes come plain iced with a subtle ivory or silver ribbon at the
base and a foil-covered board. This makes them perfect for DIY decoration - add sugar flowers,
fresh florals, toppers, or themed designs to suit your day.
What ingredients do you use?
We use premium fruits soaked in either brandy or rum before baking. The alcohol is cooked out in
the baking process, leaving a delicious depth of flavor - especially as the cake matures. We do not
feed the cake with extra alcohol, so it's suitable for children and non-drinkers.
Can we order without alcohol?
Yes! Just request an alcohol-free version when ordering - though we'd note the baking process
already removes the alcohol content, while the flavor is retained.
Do you cater to dietary needs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free wedding fruit cakes. Please contact us directly to place a gluten-free order.How is the cake packaged?
Each cake is shrink-wrapped, then wrapped in wadding and re-shrinked to keep everything secure.
It's then boxed in a double-walled cardboard box to protect it in transit. Collection is also available -
just contact us to arrange.
When should we order?
You can place your order as far in advance as you like and specify your preferred delivery window.
Ideally, we dispatch cakes around 2 weeks before the big day to allow time for final preparations.
For last-minute requests, give us a ring - we'll always try to help. Call: 07957 889479
How is pricing structured?
Our cakes are priced individually based on size and tier. For a full quote, please get in touch or use
our website's ordering system.
Can we request a sample?
Yes - we're happy to send out samples where possible. Just get in touch and we'll do our best to
arrange that for you.
Do your cakes keep well after the wedding?
Yes! Our fruit cakes have a minimum shelf life of 6 months when uncut. They're sealed on a foil
base and covered with marzipan and icing, which helps preserve freshness - perfect if you want to
save a tier for an anniversary.
Do you offer cake stands or venue setup?
Not at this time, but our cakes arrive fully finished and ready to display on your own stand or styling
setup.
