So firstly, Why Botanical Cakes? Well; I am madly in-love with plants & am slowly creating a tropical rainforest inside my house. That combined with the fact that nearly EVERYTHING, everything, that goes into the baked goods stems from botanical products: flour; sugar; chocolate; fruit; vegetables; vanilla; nuts; and spices to name a few. I also use a lot of beautiful flowers & foliage: fresh; dried; sugar; chocolate leaves; & pressed. Even the cows and chickens who kindly produce the eggs, milk & butter all depend on grain, wheat, grass. All these products stem form the natural world, the botanical world. It just felt like a match made in heaven! Two passions of mine, (baking & decorating cakes combined with flowers and plants) coming together to create ‘Botanical Cakes’. I’ve wanted to make wedding cakes for as long as I can remember, and have always gravitated towards the kitchen. I am naturally very creative which helps when decorating cakes.
We make a variety of products from the wedding cakes, varying in heights, designs & flavours, to wedding favours (doughnuts, cakesicles, cake hearts, decorated cookies, cupcakes).
For me the best thing about working with clients is the creative side, firing ideas off each other and then having a product at the end that they love & resembles themselves, the wedding.
I’ve had the privilege of making wedding favours for a small wedding during Covid. They had them displayed in a van and out in the local countryside. It was lovely to see people still celebrating their love for each other during such a trying time.
A wonderful theme of glamour and flowers. A cake with matching wedding favours. I was very fortunate to have free rain, apart from the colour scheme, to do what I liked & had freedom of creation. I felt very privileged to have had so much trust placed in my hands.
A lovely couple who wanted matching favours to the cake and table toppings (colour scheme) and were inspired by previous work. They were so so lovely to work with and was such a joy to spark ideas of one another to create something that matched them both.
Take a look at some reviews from our previous clients.

You know that old saying “new year, new me”? Well, ahead of the fast approaching 2025, we’ve decided to switch some things up around here and add a dash more sparkle into Bouquet and Bells.
This shoot was inspired wholly by the vastness and beauty of the venue as well as the unitarians inspiring ethos: Ullet Road Unitarian Church. We chose a beautiful day for the shoot, meaning the light flooding into the building and outside of the building was beautiful. We had a selection of dresses to change into for different parts of the church, and we utilised the late in different rooms and at different windows, as well as the doors for the iconic confetti shots.
Your wedding is a magical day which will stay with you forever. However, it’s unquestionable that with a tag like that, there’s also going to be an element of pressure you need to manage. 84% of brides report feeling some sort of stress about their big day. And while a lot of this comes hand-in-hand with planning a large event, it’s unquestionable that standing in front of anyone as the “star of the show” is going to get the nerves jangling.
