We pride ourselves in offering both classic or more daring cakes but always delivering something that is uniquely yours. We provide a first-class bespoke design and consultation service and take the time to get to know you and your wedding in order to do this.
Fundamentally, we believe that taste is the key to the perfect wedding cake and offer an unusually wide range of flavours using the highest quality ingredients. We have perfected our recipes over several years to offer a range of truly delicious cakes that win rave reviews.
In the past, we have made multi-tiered cakes, dessert tables and individual cake displays. We are always happy to get creative and offer new ideas to fit in with your own vision.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
I absolutely love being given the opportunity to get creative. It's why I love my job so much! I loved designing a black wedding cake, complete with hexagons, black sugar crystals and a wire sculpture. It was a real show-stopper.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Creative, classic, bespoke, quality, unique.
What about your business are you most proud of?
Being invited to have my designs in national wedding magazines. It always blows my mind to know that my cakes have been seen by hundreds of thousands of brides and grooms.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Do what YOU want and not what others do.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Sweet polaroid pictures of all the guests from their past at every table setting. It must have taken a lot of effort to do.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Usually couples put down a deposit to secure the date as I get booked up very far in advance. (It's also possible to have a consultation without doing this.) Then we arrange a consultation when they come to the kitchen, spend a lovely hour or so tasting cakes and we come up with some designs. After that, there are as many emails and phone calls as necessary to finalise the design.
