Help & FAQs
We’ve gathered answers to our most asked questions about ordering, delivery, weddings, and international shipping. If you prefer personal assistance, our Concierge Team would love to help: concierge@mooies.co.uk
Ordering & Lead Times
How far in advance should I order?
For celebration cakes, we recommend 3–5 days’ notice. For couture or custom designs, allow 7–14 days. If your date is close, email concierge@mooies.co.uk — we’ll try to help.
Can I select a delivery date?
Yes. Choose your preferred date on any product page. We’ll confirm by email once your order is scheduled.
Do you accept last-minute orders?
Where capacity allows. Please contact the Concierge.
UK Delivery (FedEx Express)
Do you deliver across the UK?
Yes. All Mooies creations — including cream-based couture cakes — are delivered nationwide via FedEx Express in temperature-controlled packaging.
How much is UK delivery?
£8.99 (Free over £100). Delivery typically takes 1–2 working days from dispatch.
How do you ensure the cake arrives perfect?
We chill, stabilise and protect each piece with internal supports and insulated packaging. Local London deliveries are made by our in-house courier team.
International Delivery (Selected Items)
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — for selected collections: Basque cheesecakes, wobble cakes, cookies, brownies and crookies.
Courier, cost & timing
Shipped via FedEx International Priority at a £69 flat rate. Typical transit 2–4 business days (destination-dependent). The recipient is responsible for any local duties or taxes.
Why not fresh-cream cakes?
Fresh-cream and couture cakes are too delicate for international courier networks. They remain UK-only or white-glove by arrangement..
Mixed Orders (UK-only + International-eligible)
What if my cart has both UK-only and international-eligible items?
They must be placed as separate orders. We cannot ship UK-only items (e.g., fresh-cream cakes) internationally. If a mixed cart is submitted, our team will contact you to separate the order before dispatch.
White-Glove & Private Atelier
What is White-Glove Delivery?
A personal service for couture commissions: hand delivery, on-site finishing and liaison with planners or venues. Available in London, selected UK regions and by arrangement internationally.
Do you bake in private homes or at destinations?
Yes. Our Private Atelier service is by appointment for residences, yachts and venues. Please email the Concierge for a private consultation.
Weddings & Tastings
How do I book a wedding cake?
Email concierge@mooies.co.uk with your date, venue, guest count and moodboard. We’ll propose flavours, design and delivery.
Do you offer tastings?
Yes — tasting boxes (seasonal) or private tastings by arrangement. Lead time 4–6 weeks at peak dates.
How many portions do I need?
We’ll guide you; as a rule, a three-tier 6”/8”/10” yields ~100–120 finger portions.
Customisation & Personalisation
Can I customise colours, piping or inscriptions?
Absolutely. Subtle tonal changes, piping styles and gold leaf are common requests. For bespoke artwork or structural changes, we’ll quote individually.
Do you include gift notes?
Yes — add a message at checkout or select our Handwritten Card upgrade.
