About Your Cake Designer
I'm Gemma, owner of Creme de la Gem. I have been baking now for over 10 years and love nothing more than creating delicious cakes at my home cake studio.
I live with my husband and two daughters in South West London.
From start to finish I’ll be on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding your cake order. I like to work closely with my couples, getting to know your visions and ideas, so together we can plan something perfectly fitting for your big day. I’m always available via email or telephone.
I know how stressful the planning process really can be. So it is always my aim to make booking your cake as easy as possible
I hope this guide has been helpful and would love to hear from you. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]

What Our Couples Had to Say
Book Your Date
In order to ensure your cake is given the attention it deserves, we only book a limited amount of wedding cakes. This means that peak summer months fill up fast and therefore it's advisable to book your date with us as soon as possible.
You can book with us any time after you have booked and confirmed your venue. You don't need to know your design or even your colour scheme at this point. We will do a design consultation to sort all this out around 6 months before the actual wedding day.
Your wedding date can be secured into our diary with a £100 deposit.
The Design Consultation
Around 6 months before the wedding, we'll meet for a face to face design consultation. This will last approximately one hour and I will gather information from you on your colour scheme, number of guests etc. It’s helpful if you can bring samples of invitations, swatches of fabric from bridesmaid dresses, pictures of flowers etc, so I can get a feel for your ideas.
We'll talk over your ideas for a cake and I’ll advise you on what might work well and do a rough sketch of our ideas. After the meeting I'll draw a detailed sketch of your cake for you to approve and provide you with an accurate quote.
Choosing Your Flavours
As part of your booking with me, you'll receive a complimentary box of cake samples to take home after your design consultation so that you can decide which flavours you would like to have on each tier of your cake.
Some of the most popular flavours are
On request we can bake to cater for gluten free, dairy free or vegan. These are prepared in a standard kitchen, so may contain traces.
Cakes can also be made nut free but we would advise anyone with a severe allergy that our kitchen does handle nuts.
Price Guide
All of our cakes are bespoke, so an exact price is difficult to give until a design has been chosen. However, as a guide we have a starting price for each size cake. This is intended as a guide only. We are more than happy to guide you with a design if you have a set budget in mind that you would like to stick to. Please just let us know.
We recommend that you cater for at least 80% of your guests.
2 tier from £275 ( 50 guests)
3 tier from £450 (100 guests)
4 tier from £550 (120 guest)
These are our most popular sized cakes but smaller and larger sizes are available and can be discussed when requested.
The portion sizes above are based on our standard height cakes which will give a portion size of approx 1"x1"x5".
Full payment is required one month before your wedding date.
