Celebration Cakes
Most celebrations enjoy the addition of a cake as a glorious centrepiece. As with wedding cakes, each one is made to order. From birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, christenings, gender reveal and corporate events, there should always be cake!
Designs are carefully considered especially if creating something encompassing a loved ones ‘favourite things’. It is important therefore to ensure a story can be told through the cake.
Sugar flowers, royal icing piping work, careful hand painting and sculpting can all be options to include on these unique cakes.
The Flavours
Selecting your cake flavour is just as important as the design, because naturally it’s got to taste as good as it looks. Only the best ingredients are used including organic flour from Shipton and Mill, the finest Belgian chocolate from Callebaut and only ever free-range, happy eggs.
Flavours are kept as classic as possible, but suggestions are always welcomed. Fondant covered cakes include a layer of white chocolate ganache beneath, sealing the cake further and evening out any colour differences in multiple flavoured tiers.
Celebration cakes are finished in fondant or ganache and very occasionally buttercream (this is weather dependant).

The Process
1. Enquiry
Email me directly or fill in the enquiry form.
2. Initial Quotation
Depending on the complexity of the kind of cake you are after I will attempt to give you an initial rough cost guide.
3. Bespoke Cake Design
Should the cake you require include a lot of various elements with sugarwork, hand painting, modelling etc, then a bespoke design is necessary. This is paid for in advance and set against the final invoice
4. Finalising Your Order
Once the design has been agreed an invoice is sent and creation can begin.
5. Creation
Now it’s up to me to create your cake!
6. Collection or Delivery & Setup
Celebration cakes of one or two tiers require collection from my studio. Taxi’s can be sent if need be. Larger or more complex cakes I will arrange to deliver and set up on site myself, at an extra charge.
“The biggest thank you for creating the most fabulous cake….I think it surpassed all expectations..!"
