Question 1

What is the order process for cakes/catering?

Accepted Answer

We try to keep things as simple as possible.

Initially, send us an email or Whatsapp message (most common), making sure you give us details including:
the sort of thing you're looking for (a cake, cupcakes, funeral catering, corporate events, afternoon teas etc)
the date of your event (to ensure that we have availability)
an idea of whether you require delivery or you're happy to collect
portion sizes (e.g., how many you need a cake to serve, or for catering, how many people will be eating at your event)
your email address, which we can send your invoice to

Don't worry if any of these things change, it just saves us sending you all these questions later!
Alternatively, call us on 07896 211513 to discuss your event.

For cakes/cupcakes, it's also a good idea to send over any inspiration pictures, design ideas or a colour scheme at this stage.

We'll try and get back to you as quickly as possible with availability and a quote if applicable.

We also offer a free in-person or online consultation to discuss further details, if required.

Once you are happy with your quote and you have confirmed that your invoice is correct, payment will be due 3 days prior to the date of your event. This must be done either by BACS (details will be provided on your invoice), by credit/debit card (powered by STRIPE) via a payment link which will be sent alongside your invoice, or alternatively CASH on collection.

Question 2

How much do your cakes cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices for our cakes vary depending on size, design, flavor (due to ingredient costs), and any figures or artwork required for the cake.

We also charge a £5.00 surcharge for glitter cake toppers that we make in-house. These can be personalized to say anything you want!

That being said, to give you a basic idea, prices for our cakes start from £65.75 for a 6" (tall) or 7" (medium height) 12-15 portion cake, assuming a Victoria sponge, simple design, no personalized topper/s, and collection from us.

Please enquire for more accurate pricing.

Question 3

What if I have a food allergy, intolerance, or coeliac disease?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to cater for most food allergies, intolerances and dietary requirements. Please inform us at the time of ordering if you or anyone in your order has a food allergy, intolerance or coeliac disease, and contact us before ordering if you have any allergen queries, where we will provide all allergen information.

We take all reasonable care when preparing food for customers with dietary requirements. However, all food is prepared in a kitchen that handles all 14 major allergens, including celery/celeriac, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya and sulphur dioxide. We do not operate an allergen-free kitchen and cannot guarantee the absence of cross-contamination.

Where items are described as containing no ingredients containing gluten (NGCI), this means that no ingredients containing gluten have been intentionally used in their preparation. However, these items are prepared in the same kitchen as gluten-containing ingredients and are not sold as gluten-free and are not suitable for people with coeliac disease.

If you have any concerns about ingredients or suitability, please contact us on 07896 211513 or by email at enquiries@goodlittlepartyfood.co.uk before placing your order so we can advise you.

See our terms and conditions for more information.

Question 4

Do you provide delivery?

Accepted Answer

Cakes can be collected from us, or we offer a delivery service from £2.50. Please email enquiries@goodlittlepartyfood.co.uk for availability, or message me via WhatsApp.

Question 5

What is a standard sized cake?

Accepted Answer

There is no standard size - you tell me how many portions that you would like the cake to serve, and I can work around that.

It also depends on how you cut it and whether it's children or adults who will be eating it! We've made so many cakes over the years, so please don't hesitate to let us guide you portion-wise!

We typically start our cakes from 10-12 portions, but there is not really a 'maximum' size. Tiered and larger cakes serve more portions, or you could combine a smaller cake with cupcakes or traybake-style cake slices to serve more portions. It's totally up to you.

Question 6

Would you be able to serve the catering at my event?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our friendly, knowledgeable, and hospitality-experienced team are happy to serve our catering and discuss any queries with your guests during your event.

The price of this service will depend on the length of time you require us to stay, the location of the event, and how members of our team will be needed to cover your event.

Contact us to discuss your ideas and requirements, and we will be more than happy to discuss availability and costs at this point.

Question 7

How much notice do I need to give you?

Accepted Answer

Our business is small and we typically book up very quickly so give us as much notice as possible, ideally a minimum of 7 days.

Don't give up hope however, as we can sometimes cater at short notice depending on our availability.

Question 8

What are your contact details?

Accepted Answer

You can easily get in touch with Good Little Party Food by calling us at 07896211513, or by sending an email to enquiries@goodlittlepartyfood.co.uk. We will be happy to assist you with any queries or in placing an order for our cakes and/or catering services.

Question 9

What payment methods does Good Little Party Food Accept?

Accepted Answer

Good Little Party Food accepts payments in the form of cash, credit card, and bank transfer.

Question 10

Does Good Little Party Food require a deposit upon booking?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not take a deposit and instead ask that you let us know of any changes to your plans, dates or numbers as soon as possible.

We will send over an invoice and you will have from the date we send the invoice to 3 days prior to your event (unless notice is less than 3 days!) to make your payment.

Full payment must be made up to 3 days before your event date. We will not begin preparing food/cakes until this payment is made.

Question 11

What decoration options do you offer for your cakes?

Accepted Answer

Good Little Party Food offers a wide range of decoration options for our cakes, including buttercream frosting, fondant decorations, fresh flowers, and custom cake toppers. We can also tailor the decorations to fit specific themes and color schemes for your event.

Question 12

What types of events does Good Little Party Food specialise in catering for?

Accepted Answer

GLPF specializes in catering for a variety of events, including weddings, corporate functions, birthday parties, and other special occasions. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a large-scale event, our team can create a personalized catering experience to suit your needs. We offer a wide range of menu options, including custom-designed cakes, delectable desserts, and savoury dishes, all prepared with the highest quality ingredients and attention to detail. No matter the size or theme of your event, we are dedicated to providing exceptional catering services that will exceed your expectations and make your event truly memorable.

Question 13

There are only 12 guests at my event, so trays of 24 items each would be too much for us. Do you provide half or mixed trays?

Accepted Answer

Over the years, we have got the knack of providing accurate portion sizes and we are more than happy to discuss using smaller trays with fewer items on each. Often, we would also be able to mix trays so 'similar' items are together if this suits the dietary requirements of your guests, for example a 'vegetarian mixed savoury platter'.

It also depends on which items you have selected from our menu; some options are easier to split than others.
