When designing this new collection we thought about the perfect setting for a fairytale wedding, somewhere hidden, almost lost, somewhere relaxed, romantic and exclusive. We imagined discovering a secret garden hiding a magnificent grand old hall with immaculate interiors untouched by the passing of time, but the garden, once finely manicured, has long since broken free and become an unruly paradise of blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies.
On the most romantic day of your life, we want you to have the wedding cake of your dreams, a cake that's special, a cake that you'll remember. From the initial consultation to the cutting of the cake, we promise to give you a memorable experience.
We would love to see you at our cake studio in Uppermill, Saddleworth, to talk about your plans and inspiration and to show you some of our work and to give you some of our cake to try, however we recognise this isn't always possible.The Frostery successfully works with a global clientele and has designed and made many cakes for couples who live abroad or just can't travel to our studio, and we are happy to make arrangements that suit you.

Whilst fruit cake is traditional, nowadays the majority of people either don't have any fruit cake at all or they have just part of the wedding cake made from fruit. It is common to mix and match flavour combinations and have a different flavour for every tier, or you can choose your favourite and stick with that.
We think that the best wedding favours are those you can eat and our personalised hand-iced biscuits, miniature cup-cakes, delicate macarons, chocolate covered oreos, meringue kisses, cake truffles and cake-pops make perfect wedding favours, thank you presents and place settings. The groom's cake is an old British tradition, somehow lost and now rediscovered for the most elegant wedding receptions.

Absolutely amazing cakes - Suzanne is super talented - only glimmer of a smile on my boys 16th birthday(during this lockdown) was when he saw his cake and cupcakes from Suzanne and The Frostery - I wouldn’t get his cake from anyone or anywhere else - thank you for always taking such good care of us xxxx

We were extremely lucky to have Suzanne design and make such a beautiful wedding cake for us. We had a great time in the shop discussing our preferences for the cake, then we tried some wonderful samples while she drew up design options. On the day, the cake was greatly received and looked wonderful on the stand. Anyone wanting a bespoke cake for their special day should look no further!

Choosing my wedding cake was on a par with choosing my dress. Suzanne is a true mastermind in her field, her warm and friendly approach and intuition allows her to capture the personality of the bride and groom perfectly and transfer it onto the cake. She is super talented...my cake was the main discussion topic at my wedding!
