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 QuoteWoodford Green is a leafy, well-to-do corner of north east London where a great many weddings and milestone parties are held every year. 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.
Woodford Green and Woodford Bridge host a steady stream of weddings, with the Prince Regent and the golf club at Sunset Avenue among the regular venues. Both are used to outside suppliers, which makes the day easier. Woodford couples tend to know what they want, and often come with a clear colour palette and a florist already booked, so the cake is designed to sit alongside decisions already made.
We cover the whole of Woodford Green and the IG8 postcodes, including Woodford Green, Woodford Wells, Woodford Bridge, South Woodford, Highams Park border, Salway Hill and The Broadway. 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 Woodford Green include:
Send us a photograph of your flowers or a swatch of your colour and we will match the cake to it properly rather than guessing from a description.
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 25 minutes from Woodford Green, 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 cakes start from £130 for a six and eight inch, with larger wedding tiers quoted on the design, and the final price depends 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 Woodford Green and the surrounding IG8 area, including Woodford Green, Woodford Wells, Woodford Bridge, South Woodford and the rest of the neighbourhood. Our kitchen is about 25 minutes away, so your cake travels a short distance and arrives in good condition.
Two tier cakes start from £130 for a six and eight inch, with larger wedding tiers quoted on the design, and the final price depends 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 Woodford Green, including places such as Prince Regent Hotel and Woodford Golf Club. 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.
