My approach

Sample Iamge2 No occasion is complete without the perfect cake to compliment the celebrations. Taking pride in the design, from classic and formal to personalised and fun is important to us, and its not just the decoration, cakes must taste as good as they look. You can choose between delicious rich fruit cake, vanilla or chocolate Genoese sponge, lemon drizzle sponge or carrot cake. Fruit cakes can be made without peel, and egg free sponge is available too. Fillings of jam and buttercream chocolate buttercream or chocolate ganache, coverings of rolled fondant, chocolate rolled fondant, chocolate ganache, marzipan and royal icing set the base for your choice of design, and almost any subject is considered, making your cake exclusive to you. Any of a number of sugarcraft techniques are used, from painting to applique to hand made models or flowers, and we offer the choice of formal, shaped or modelled cakes. In addition to the basic design, piping and ribbon provide the perfect finishing touches. Overall, we aim to give you the best cake, in the best style, using the best ingredients, to perfectly compliment your celebration.

Cakes we make

Wedding cakes: Wedding cakes come in all shapes and sizes, from fairy cakes to fairy castles, from formal to fun. Cakes can be assembled in any combination of fruit or sponge layers, either stacked or on pillars. Depending on your choice of cake, the covering can be royal icing (the hard one), rolled white or chocolate fondant, or chocolate ganache.
Birthday cakes: Birthday cakes can be iced as a round or square cake, with flowers or models, or a painted or appliqu� design. Alternatively, they can be cut to a two dimensional shape, such as a face or figure, or built up to a three dimensional shape, like Fairy Castles, Mermaid Islands, cars and trains.
Anniversary cakes: Whether you are celebrating your first or your 60th, sugar flowers and matching ribbon set the tone for the party.
Novelty cakes: Celebration cakes don't have to be just flowers and piping. Cakes can be themed to hobbies and interests, like sport, or cut into shapes like champagne bottles, fire engines, horses, cars or castles, to name a few. Anything -within reason- is possible!
Corporate cakes: Company logos, event cakes, whatever the occasion from launch party to number of years in business, larger size cakes are available to cater for the big celebration. The sponge cake is moist but firm and cuts beautifully, ensuring maximum number of portions.
Christening cakes: Traditionally the top tier of the wedding cake, but more commonly sponge cake, designs can be finished in blue or pink, or other colours if you choose. Designs for older children are included too, and extra decorations can be added for brothers and sisters.
