cakes for cool couples
The Four Letter Baker creates bespoke buttercream wedding cakes with personality - mixing modern ideas and vintage details with colour and texture.
If you’re looking for a cake that’s all about the experience, you’ll love what we create - cakes that bring joy, colour, and personality to your wedding, and are just as delicious as they are striking.
No two weddings are the same, so your cake shouldn’t be either. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, we will work with you to create the perfect cake that reflects your style, enhances the atmosphere, and impresses your guests.

Made to be looked at, talked about... and actually eaten.
"I just wanted to send you a quick say a huge thank you for our wedding cake.
Honestly, it was the best cake we've ever tasted! We had so many compliments from our guests, it really was one of the highlights of the day.
We also absolutely loved the design. It was even more beautiful than we had imagined, and we genuinely couldn't have pictured anything more perfect. You brought our vision to life so beautifully, and we're so grateful for all the care and talent you put into creating it.
Thank you again for helping make our wedding day so special."

before we talk cake
Wedding cakes start from £325, with final pricing depending on size, design, delivery and set up.
From statement single tiers to full tiered cakes and larger cake installations, everything is designed around your wedding rather than a set menu.
And if you want to take your cake moment even further, we can add individual cake slices, cupcakes, cake cocktails and sugar cookies - perfect for dessert tables, late night treats or something for guests to take home.
Prefer to chat through things in person?
Consultations are available from my Northallerton Studio, where we can talk through your wedding, ideas, and the kind of cake moment you want to create.
FAQ's
How far do you travel?
I’m based in Northallerton, North Yorkshire and create wedding cakes across Yorkshire and beyond. Delivery and set-up are quoted individually depending on the venue, distance and what’s involved on the day.
How many people can you cater for?
There’s a practical limit to the size of my fully tiered cakes, as they’re assembled and finished in my kitchen before delivery. But that definitely doesn’t mean there’s a limit to how many people I can feed.
For larger weddings, I can build out the cake offering with kitchen cake, individual cake slices, cupcakes, cake cocktails and personalised biscuits - so you can still have the statement cake you want on display without adding tiers just for the sake of portions.
I can help you work out the best combination for your guest numbers, budget and how you want cake to be served on the day.
Can we have different flavours?
Absolutely. Different tiers can be different flavours, so you don’t have to choose just one. Wedding sample boxes are also available if you’d like to do some very serious cake research before deciding.
How does booking work?
Start by sending over your date, venue, guest numbers and any ideas you already have. I’ll check availability and give you an idea of pricing before we get into the finer details.
Consultations are available at my Northallerton studio if you’d like to sit down and talk through the cake properly. Once you’re happy to go ahead, a 30% deposit secures your date.
When is the final balance due?
Your remaining balance is due one month before the wedding.
What happens it it's hot / how should my cake be displayed?
Buttercream cakes are happiest somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. For wedding cakes, I’ll work with your venue to agree the best time and place to set everything up, particularly during warmer weather.
Once the cake has been delivered and set up, the venue will need to make sure it’s kept somewhere suitable until it’s time to cut it. If refrigeration is needed, I’ll discuss this with you and the venue beforehand so we can make a plan that works for the cake and your timings.
For larger or more delicate designs, I may also recommend a shorter display time or particular set-up arrangements to make sure everything looks its best.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes, I can accommodate some dietary requirements, including vegan wedding cakes, and I’ll always do my best to find an option that works for you.
However, my kitchen handles allergens including nuts, dairy/milk, gluten, eggs and soya, so I cannot guarantee that any cake is completely free from allergens.
Please let me know about any dietary requirements or allergies when you enquire so we can talk through the options before you book.
Do we need to know exactly what we want?
Definitely not. A Pinterest board, colour palette, invitation suite, flowers, outfits or even just the general feeling of the wedding is plenty to start with. We can take those ideas and turn them into something that feels completely yours.
