Couples searching for Victoria BC wedding cakes can consider Lighthouse Cake Company, a family-owned bakery with a dedicated wedding service. Its official website identifies Vikki Smith as a Red Seal Certified Baker who took over the bakery in 2018 after working there for many years. Vikki and her husband, Richard, now operate the business and work together on wedding cakes and venue dessert displays.

The bakery publishes unusually detailed starting examples for cakes, cupcakes and samples. It also explains its consultation, deposit, delivery and setup processes. These figures are useful for initial planning, but they are examples rather than a complete wedding quote: design work, flowers, delivery, dietary requirements and other additions may change the total. This profile was last reviewed on August 4, 2026.

Services and specialization

Lighthouse Cake Company specializes in cakes and assorted pastries, with a separate wedding service built around personalized consultations and custom design. The official wedding page says Vikki discusses the couple’s ideas before Vikki and Richard bring the design to life. Richard may also create the dessert display at the venue.

Wedding orders can include tiered cakes, single cakes, cupcakes and pastries for a dessert table. The documented delivery service includes on-site setup of the cake and pastries, plus placement of fresh flowers and a cake topper when applicable. The bakery also accepts custom requests for bachelor and bachelorette party cakes.

Flavours, samples and dietary options

Published sponge choices include vanilla, chocolate, gluten-free vanilla, gluten-free chocolate, dairy-and-egg-free vanilla, and dairy-and-egg-free chocolate. The bakery lists buttercream flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, espresso, hazelnut, lemon, white chocolate and Baileys. Cream-cheese and other filling options are also published.

Samples must be ordered before the consultation. Couples can combine listed sponge and filling choices and may taste the samples in the shop or take them home. Gluten-free and dairy-and-egg-free cakes cost extra. The website does not publish allergen-handling or cross-contact assurances, so couples with allergies should discuss their requirements directly rather than treating a listed dietary option as an allergen-safety guarantee.

Samples are ordered in advance and cost $5 each
Gluten-free sponge options are listed at an additional cost
Dairy-and-egg-free sponge options are listed at an additional cost
Dairy-free icing is limited to chocolate or vanilla, with raspberry sauce available as a layer

Service area and who it may suit

The bakery’s official address is on Goldstream Avenue in Victoria. Its wedding page says delivery charges depend on the area of the city where the event is held, but it does not define a broader delivery boundary or list fixed charges by neighbourhood. Couples should therefore provide the full venue address when requesting a quote.

The service may suit couples who want an in-person, telephone or email-based design discussion; a choice of cake-and-filling combinations; or a coordinated cake and pastry display. It may also be relevant where gluten-free or dairy-and-egg-free recipes are being considered, subject to direct confirmation of ingredients and preparation practices.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include Red Seal certification, a consultation with no consultation fee, individually priced samples and a published set of starting examples. The business also explains what its delivery service includes, which helps couples distinguish transportation from venue setup.

There are practical limits to what can be determined online. The site does not publish a complete design-price schedule, a fixed delivery table, an outer service-area boundary or a blanket statement about allergen cross-contact. Wedding spots are described as limited, and the bakery asks couples to email for date availability. Published examples should therefore be used as planning references, not guaranteed totals.

Pricing

The official wedding page lists a 6-inch cake serving approximately 8–12 people at $75, an 8-inch cake serving 12–20 at $130, and a 10-inch cake serving 20–30 at $185. Cupcakes are listed at $3.75 each or $37.50 per dozen. These are examples, and special-diet cakes cost extra.

For tiered wedding cakes, the bakery gives two simple-design examples: $205 for a two-tier cake serving about 25 people and $390 for a three-tier cake serving about 55. Both figures are stated before flowers or delivery. Samples are $5 each, while the consultation itself has no fee. A $50 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is required to reserve a date after a couple decides to book.

Custom decoration and other add-ons may increase the base price. The website does not specify whether taxes are included in the examples, so couples should request a written total covering serving count, design, fillings, dietary changes, flowers, delivery, setup, taxes and any other additions.

Contact and booking

Couples should first email to ask whether their wedding date is available and to arrange a consultation. The bakery requests inspiration pictures and contact information; colour swatches can also be brought when colour matching is wanted. Samples must be ordered before the meeting. A consultation can alternatively take place by telephone or email.

The contact page distinguishes custom inquiries from standard orders: custom requests may be emailed, while standard orders should be placed by telephone. It also asks customers to include a telephone number in email inquiries and warns that replies to Yahoo addresses may bounce. The published email is LCC@lighthousecakecompany.ca and the telephone number is +1 (250) 478-4499.

Regular hours shown online are Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., with Sunday and Monday closed. The bakery publishes separate holiday closures and adjusted hours, so couples should check the current contact page before visiting.

What couples should confirm

Before paying the deposit, confirm that the date and venue are within the bakery’s availability and delivery area. Provide the guest count, preferred serving size, cake format, flavour combinations, design references and any plans for cupcakes or a pastry display. Ask which flowers, topper or display pieces must be supplied by the couple or another vendor.

Request an itemized written quote that identifies the final cake size, design additions, samples, special-diet charges, delivery, setup and applicable taxes. Couples should also confirm the payment schedule, cancellation or change terms beyond the stated deposit rule, venue access time and the person responsible for accepting the delivery.

For dietary needs, ask for current ingredient and cross-contact information specific to the selected recipe. The presence of gluten-free or dairy-and-egg-free choices does not by itself establish that a cake is suitable for every allergy.
