Your wedding cake is the one dessert every single guest will see, photograph and remember. It deserves more thought than a catalogue picture.
Get a Free QuoteChingford is the area Paulina knows best, a green pocket of north east London wrapped around the southern edge of Epping Forest. Bake You Happy makes wedding cakes by hand for families right across the area, and delivers them personally rather than sending them by courier.
Every cake is designed from scratch with you. There is no catalogue to pick from and no set menu of shapes. You tell Paulina about the occasion, the people and the look you have in mind, and she builds the design around that.
This is Paulina's own area, and it shows in the detail. Chingford weddings tend to involve Epping Forest in some way, whether that is Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, a reception in one of the pubs on the forest edge, or photographs at Connaught Water. Knowing the roads, the parking and which venues have awkward access is not a small thing when you are carrying a three tier cake.
We cover the whole of Chingford and the E4 postcodes, including North Chingford, South Chingford, Chingford Mount, Chingford Hatch, Chingford Green, Friday Hill, Hale End and Sewardstone. If you are just outside that, ask anyway, we usually can.
We deliver to homes, halls, churches and venues throughout the area. Places we know well in and around Chingford include:
Being local means we can do something most bakers cannot: bring the cake later in the day, closer to when it is actually needed, rather than dropping it off at nine in the morning.
If your celebration is somewhere else entirely, that is no problem at all. Give us the venue name and address and we will speak to them directly about access and timing.
Our kitchen sits about 15 minutes from Chingford, which matters more than it sounds. A tiered cake does not travel well, and a shorter journey means less time in the car and a cake that arrives exactly as it left. We deliver it ourselves and, for tiered cakes, assemble it on site rather than moving it built.
Two tier wedding cakes start from £200 and three tier designs from £300, with the final price depending on size, detail and finish. A £50 deposit secures your date, with the balance due before delivery. There is a full breakdown on our cake prices page.
Send Paulina a message with your date, roughly how many people you are feeding, and any idea of the look you want, even a rough one. She will reply personally, talk it through with you and send a quote. You can also read the full ordering guide first if you prefer.
Yes. We deliver across Chingford and the surrounding E4 area, including North Chingford, South Chingford, Chingford Mount, Chingford Hatch and the rest of the neighbourhood. Our kitchen is about 15 minutes away, so your cake travels a short distance and arrives in good condition.
Two tier wedding cakes start from £200 and three tier designs from £300, with the final price depending on size, detail and finish. Every cake is quoted individually once we know the size, the design and the date.
Wedding cakes are usually booked six to twelve months ahead, and popular summer Saturdays go first. If your date is closer than that it is always worth asking, as we sometimes have space.
Yes. We regularly deliver to homes, halls and venues around Chingford, including places such as Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge and Epping Forest. Just give us the venue name, the address and a contact on the day and we will arrange the timing directly with them.
Yes. We make vegan and gluten free cakes with the same designs and finishes as everything else, usually with a small supplement. Everything is baked in a kitchen that handles nuts, gluten, wheat, dairy and egg, so we label clearly but cannot promise an item is free from all traces.
Every cake is designed from scratch, so there is no price list to pick from. Send a few details and Paulina will reply personally with ideas and a quote. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
She reads every enquiry herself and will reply to you personally, usually within a day. Her reply will come from paulina@bakeyouhappy.co, so do add that to your contacts.
If your date is close, or you would rather just talk it through, message her on WhatsApp on 07514 660 451 and she will come back to you faster.
