Wedding Cake Design & Cake Tasting Sessions
Enjoy a taste of The Frostery with a Private Design and Tasting Appointment at our cake studio in rural Greater Manchester.
Let us transform your ideas and inspiration into a beautiful wedding cake. Whether you have very specific requirements for your cake or just a general notion of how you want your day to feel, Suzanne will help steer you through different possibilities before emerging with a bespoke design personal to you.
A no obligation, private design appointment with Suzanne Thorp costs £95 which is redeemable against the cost of a confirmed wedding cake booking.
Often the cake design will be informed by other elements of your wedding day. If you are still at the early stages of planning your wedding but love what we do and want to reserve our services to make your cake, you can save-the-date and come to design your wedding cake at a later date.

The Ingredients
See our cake menuThe finest natural ingredients are the heart and soul of our cakes, reflecting our love of great food and respect for our planet. Celebrate your special day with a delicious cake, created with ingredients that are grown, nurtured and made with care.
Earth-friendly wedding cakes
When designing a wedding cake we always consider the impact we’re having on our planet. We design each cake for the appropriate number of guests and resist using false, environmentally harmful polystyrene tiers merely to create the illusion of excessive size. We carefully consider the ingredients we use and continually seek positive changes to make our process more sustainable.
It was a literal piece of art! It blew us both away and complemented our day so much!
