Your special occasion is unique to you, and so is each of my cakes. I design every cake specifically for you - to suit your style, your taste and your budget.
I am a fondant-free baker so when you work with me, expect lots of delicious butter icing with edible decorations like fruit, edible flowers, sprinkles, sweets, nuts, gold leaf, chocolate drip, and homemade treats like macaroons truffles etc etc

STILL CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU FANCY?
If you've got an idea that isn't listed, just drop me a note and suggest it.
Then... the decoration
You might have a clear idea of how you want your cake to look, or maybe you have a colour scheme in mind, or maybe you're not sure where to begin. Wherever you are in your planning, I will work with you to design a cake that looks beautiful and tastes even better.

what size cake?
The number of portions you get from a cake is an art not a science. It's a bit like asking how many piece you can cut an a4 page into. You could have 4 very big pieces or 48 very small pieces.
There are lots of opinions about how many portions you get from each size, and below is mine.
The smaller number assumes each portion is 2"x2"xY" (Y=the height of the cake).
NOTE If your cake is 4 layers tall you can make it go further by cutting slices in two horizontally.
The larger number assumes that some of your guests will be "just a slither for me please" and some will be "oooh yes please, a big chunk for me"
ROUND CAKES 3 layers
6" = 10-16
7" = 14-23
8" = 18-30
9" = 30-49
10" = 38-62
You get most from a cake when you cut it in a grid patten rather than like a clock.

COSTS
I work out the cost of every cake individually, based on the exact design, the flavour of the cake, the number of portions you need and the number of hours it will take to design, bake and decorate your special creation. I will work with you to find the best possible option for your taste and your budget.
Bespoke special occassion cakes start at £50 for a 6" diameter cake. My special occasion cakes are either three or four layers (5-6”) tall. Prices exclude delivery. See my FAQS for collection and delivery options.

IMPORTANT: ALLERGENS
I believe that no-one should ever miss out on cake. That's why I make cakes of all kinds, including many that meet the needs of those with special dietary requirements. Where you have specified an allergy, no ingredient will ever be used that explicitly contains the stated allergen. Whilst I do everything in my power to ensure there is no chance of cross-contamination, please be aware that all cakes are baked and decorated in a kitchen where products containing gluten, soya, eggs, dairy, sesame, nuts, peanuts, sulphites, mustard, fish and celery are used.
