How The Cake Wizard works

Nothing. Sending a request and getting quotes is free. You only pay your cake maker for the cake itself, at the price they quoted.

No. When you send a request we email you a private link. That link is your page: quotes and messages from cake makers show up there.

Cake makers see your first name, your area, the date and what you asked for. Your email and phone number are only shared with the one cake maker whose quote you accept.

We are new, so that can happen. We tell you straight away, keep your request open, and email you as soon as a cake maker who covers your area can reply.

For now you pay your cake maker directly, including any deposit. They will tell you how they take payment. Agree the price, the deposit and what happens if plans change before you pay.

Tell your cake maker about any allergy before you order and ask how they avoid cross-contact. Many home kitchens also handle nuts, wheat, milk and eggs. The dietary options on a profile are what the cake maker says they offer; we do not test or inspect.

Every cake maker confirms that they follow the food and licensing rules where they bake, and we look over each profile before it goes public. A badge on a profile means exactly what it says: "Email verified" means we confirmed their email address, and "License number provided" means they gave us a number, which we do not check. They are independent businesses, so do read their profile and ask questions.
