About Me
I am a cake fanatic as well as flavour-obsessed. Fresh seasonal florals are my thing, and that’s why you won’t find any sugar or wafer paper flowers on my cakes
Keeping it seasonal is what I’m all about, so give me Peonies in May and Dahlias in September, please!
I also encourage my clients to stick to this ethos with my cake flavours. That’s why you’ll find wild blackberry jam in your Victoria sponge in autumn and fresh raspberry jam in summer.
Not only is sticking with the seasons my thing, but so is my passion for something a little bit different. So yes, you can find your Victoria Sponge here (too much of a crowd-pleaser not to), but what sets my cake heart on fire are flavours like rum, lime & coconut, or dark chocolate & passion fruit, or honey, orange and parsnip!
You might also notice something else a little different around here, and that is, it’s a fondant-free zone. I am, through and through, a buttercream girl. Minimalistic, flawless white finishes on cakes with super sharp edges is what I’m here for. Huge amounts of time and energy have gone into perfecting a super smooth buttercream finish on my cakes.
I stress about your cake looking absolutely perfect so that you don’t have to!
I feel so incredibly lucky to have turned what was at first a hobby, then a passion, into a career. It is beyond a privilege to play a part in one of the most important days of my clients’ lives. Every order brings me such joy and gratitude for my small business being chosen to create my couples’ dream wedding cake.
So, how did I get here?
Well, of course, it starts with a university degree in something completely unrelated; mine was in sports science, followed by a master’s degree in psychology.
Naturally, the next step was to work in restaurants for six years, with two of those years spent managing restaurants in London. Then, I met the person who would become my husband, and he gave me the confidence and encouragement to pursue baking full-time.
For two years, I baked six days a week, for at least ten hours a day, for other businesses such as cafes. It was super fun, and I loved it, but it was a very heavy workload. Then came the opportunity to relocate to Dorset, and I used it as a time to change direction a little. I decided to turn my hand to wedding cakes. Since moving, a global pandemic has happened, and I’ve had a daughter! It’s been a rollercoaster ride, but these past couple of years have ignited a fire within me for creating stunning and luxurious buttercream wedding cakes.
