All Satterthwaites wedding cakes are made from our best rich fruit cake, renowned over three generations for its quality.
Ask for your sample of cake.
The proof of the cake is in the eating, and that is the first thing to check when you are considering this important purchase.
There are a number of choices that you can make from our standard range. 'In Love' and 'Rose Panel' are decorated in Royal Icing, the traditional hard icing which allows cakes to be built up in free-standing tiers. The other cakes are decorated in soft roll icing which gives a more modern appearance.

The prices of our standard cakes are in three price bands. The page with the picture of each cake gives the price band at the top of the left-hand menu bar, and the corresponding prices are given below. The standard designs can be customised at no extra cost, though we reserve the right to charge if the changes are large enough to require unusually large amounts of time. We will always tell you in advance if this seems likely. The price includes delivery in the North Liverpool area and for fruit cakes we will include an iced but undecorated sponge cake if this is requested, so that you can offer your guests a choice.

We are sometimes asked how many guests can be served from a given size of cake. This is not an easy question to answer because of course it depends very much on the size of the slices cut. As a very approximate guide the cakes (other than Petite Fleur) in our standard range are recommended for the following maximum number of portions. Petal and heart shapes generally produce rather fewer portions than round cakes. Your caterers will be able to advise from their experience: in this matter, much depends on their skill....
ROUND SQUARE
Single Tier 65 80
Two Tier 100 125
Three Tier 115 160
Four Tier 180 250
Note: The 2- tier Petite Fleur design is suitable for a maximum of about 33 and the 3-tier version about 40 guests.
These are all maxima, and assume a small but adequate portion size sliced by an experienced person with a thin, sharp knife. Users of bowsaws, hatchets, chainsaws or other unsuitable tools will not achieve these figures.
We do not normally attend to set up the cakes as V.A.T would then by law have to be charged on the price. Your caterer will therefore undertake the setting-up as part of their service. If for any reason you anticipate a difficulty, please don't hesitate to ask us for advice.
