Christine made our wedding cake based on a design we'd seen online, in pale pink with flower decorations and a Chinese motif. It looked amazing, we were so pleased with it and our guests commented on how stunning it was. It also tasted great - three tiers each a different flavour so all guests had something they could enjoy. Thanks so much Christine, it really made our day extra special xx More...

We met Christine last year through this website. She invited us to her house to discuss making our wedding cake, she had samples of cake to taste. She listened to our ideas and we designed a cake between us. We couldn't have chosen a better person to make such a beautiful cake, not only did it look amazing it tasted delicious. A 3 tier cake all different flavours. I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to family and friends. She also delivered the cake to the venue and stayed to congratulate us . More...

Beautiful custom birthday cake for my daughter's first birthday, made in only five days at a really reasonable price. Gorgeous moist lemon sponge, which looked even better than the pinterest pics I originally sent. Thanks Christine!

What do you love most about your job?
I love that moment when you deliver the cake and they get to see it for the first time, especially so with children's cakes.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started baking my own children's birthday cakes as I was concerned with the contents of store bought cakes so I started making my own, then for family and friends, before long I had a little business going.
Why should our clients choose you?
My cakes not only look good, they taste good too, everything is handmade where possible. I use only the finest ingredients.
I also offer a personal no obligation consultation where we would discuss the design in detail, colours , flavours, etc. It is also a good opportunity to encourage parents, prospective in-laws or friends to get involved
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Face to face consultations not always possible although we can exchange photos for design ideas and/or facetime to discuss your requirements.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
