Why does this page not print a date?
Because it would be wrong most years and useless in the rest. Diwali follows the lunar calendar, so it moves through October and November from one year to the next, and the festival itself runs across several days — the evening a family hosts is not necessarily the one a website would print. The same reasoning keeps Eid off the dates table on this site. Everything else here is built from fixed figures, so the one thing that moves is left to you: name the evening, and the lead time is counted back from it.
What to put in the enquiry
The evening you are hosting, not the week.
Roughly how many people, counting the ones who will only stay an hour.
The colours — naming two beats describing a mood.
Anything the household avoids: nuts and alcohol are the two to raise.
Cupcakes or a cake for an evening of visitors?
Cupcakes, if people are coming and going. A cake has to be cut, and a cut cake has to be finished or it dries; a box of 24 at £138 is served by handing one over, keeps its last few looking as good as its first, and can be topped up from the kitchen without anybody noticing. A cake earns its place where there is a table and a moment — a birthday falling in the same week, or a family sitting down together rather than greeting visitors at the door. Plenty of households order an 8-inch at £130 for the table and cupcakes for the hall.
What will you not be told here?
Anything about the festival itself. You know it; this page is written by a baker who does not, and pages that explain somebody’s own celebration back to them are both irritating and usually wrong. What this kitchen can tell you about is the cake: what is in it, how large a slice it cuts, when it needs ordering and what it costs. Those are on this page and the rest of the site, and the enquiry gets a straight answer the same day.
The other moving date on this site is Eid, handled the same way. Fixed dates are listed on cakes by occasion.
What else do people ask?
Allergies? Our kitchen handles all 14 of the allergens UK law requires us to declare, so nothing we bake is free from any of them. What is in each cake, and our hygiene rating.
