Our next round of taster boxes will be baked on:

Wednesday 21st October 2026

Please note if your wedding is June 2027 and the beginning of July 2027 - we are so sorry but we are fully booked

Choosing your wedding cake should be about flavour as much as design. Our tasting boxes allow you to sample a selection of freshly baked Cakes by Nina flavours from the comfort of your own home. They are offered on a not-for-profit basis and are intended to cover the basic costs of ingredients, packaging, postage and some preparation.

What's Included?

The standard tasting box includes four popular flavours, traditional vanilla, lemon, biscoff and cookie & cream. Each sample is freshly baked, carefully packaged and prepared specifically for the tasting batch.

How Much Is a Tasting Box?

Our standard tasting box is £30. For our bespoke/allergen tasting boxes they are £60 and contain four requested flavours.

Why do tasting boxes cost money?

Tasting boxes take many hours to prepare and use our premium ingredients. Charging a small fee helps to cover the basic costs while still allowing you to try our flavours before securing your date. These are offered on a not-for-profit basis.

Most couples book their wedding cake after tasting - it's simply part of the process.

Why Are Taster Boxes Only Available on Selected Dates?

Our wedding cake taster boxes are a little more involved than they may first appear!

Each taster box takes considerable time to prepare. From baking and preparing the individual cake flavours, to carefully packaging each box, there is a full day of preparation involved, as well as many hours of work on the day before they are ready to be posted.

We never freeze our cakes. Every taster box is freshly baked to order, giving you the opportunity to experience our cakes exactly as they will be made for your wedding day. We do not keep pre-baked or frozen cake slices ready to post, as we believe your tasting should reflect the freshness and quality you can expect from your finished wedding cake.

For this reason, we schedule our taster boxes around our existing wedding cake production schedule rather than offering them every month. Taster box dates may therefore vary, and there may be some months when we do not offer them at all.

We also work hard to minimise unnecessary food waste and to operate as sustainably as possible. Producing just one or two individual taster boxes can require the same preparation, ingredients and packaging as producing a larger batch. By waiting until we have several orders and producing the boxes together, we can work much more efficiently, reduce waste and ensure that every taster box is made to the same high standard.

For this reason, we are generally unable to produce one-off taster boxes outside of our advertised dates. In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to accommodate an individual request, depending on our wedding cake schedule and availability, but this cannot always be guaranteed, this will incur an additional charge.

We completely understand that choosing your wedding cake is an important decision, and we want our taster boxes to be made with the same care and attention as our wedding cakes themselves.

Thank you for understanding why our taster boxes are offered on selected dates rather than on demand. Your patience helps us work more sustainably, minimise waste and continue to give every cake the time and attention it deserves.

Are tasting boxes available all year round?

Tasting boxes are offered when we are available to do them in amongst our busy schedule. This allows us to batch-bake efficiently and keep the cost low for couples.

Dates are announced at the top of this page.

Can I choose my flavours?

To keep the process smooth and cost-effective, tasting boxes come as a set menu, but should you wish to have a bespoke box please use our bespoke/allergen order form.

Do you cater for allergies?

Allergen cakes have to be done on a completely separate date to the one mentioned above, due to the risk of cross-contamination contact us for further details if you wish to order and we will give you a date and then ask you to pay for a bespoke box.

Can I order a tasting box before booking my wedding cake?

Yes - tasting boxes are available to all couples, whether you have booked or not, this will also depend on how much notice your wedding is before our next batch of taster boxes are due as we are unable to just do a one off due to work commitments.

Do I need to book my wedding date before ordering a tasting box?

No - you can order a tasting box at any time during the seasonal release dates. However, your wedding date is only secured once a booking fee and order form is completed.

How do I order a taster box?

When tasting boxes are available, you can order directly using either one of the above forms depending on what you are after. We do take on a limited number for each batch as they are time consuming to do and spaces are limited and often sell out quickly, if we have reached our limit we will move you onto the next available date.

Can you deliver tasting boxes?

We do not deliver tasting boxes, we use Royal Mail 24-hour postal service and will provide you with a tracking number so you can track your parcel.

What if I want to try a flavour that isn't in the box?

You will need to order a bespoke box as above for £60 - (you can choose four flavours per box)

Do tasting boxes count towards my wedding cake cost?

No - tasting boxes are separate from your wedding cake booking. They are a small, not-for-profit service to help you choose your flavours confidently.
