Cake has played a role in my life as far back as I remember.  One of my earliest memories is being allowed to lick the cake bowl out or being given the spoon to lick.    

I have always baked, initially making the children’s birthday cakes and always taking cake as a gift when visiting.

A chance opportunity allowed me to start taking orders and that continued until I was able to open a small cake shop.  There is never a sad occasion for cake, it is always a celebration.  Weddings. Became a part of my cake life and that absolute pleasure of being able to create something and be involved in that special day is something that I never take for granted.

These days I like to restrict myself to weddings cake but try hard to give them some personality and represent my couple.  This is often the only surprise they will have as they have chosen everything for their celebration.  They have to trust in me and I have to be sure that I understand their ideas.  It’s a great match.  I am happy to work within my own local area or travel to their venue, that is part of the initial discussion process, as are tasters.

Each cake is different and that is the fun.  I like the classic styles but I love the quirky and the different.  Best of all I enjoy meeting all of the couples who have embarked on their wedding journey, their stories of meeting and plans for the future.  It really is the best job
