Beautiful and masterful cake

We had a lovely wedding cake created by Sam which had two tiers one of which was vegan. Sam was very attentive to our requests and delivered very professionally. My husband and I have very different cake preferences and we both loved the flavours. Thank you Sam for all your help and hard work!

A unique design brought to life!

Working with Sam to design our perfect wedding cake was an absolute pleasure. She has so much enthusiasm and it really shows in her skill to produce such incredible cakes. We loved our unique black wedding cake with gothic arches, autumnal foliage, and her signature sugar flowers which look so realistic! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was in addition to the amazing flavours in each of our 3 layers. Sam also made some beautiful vegan cupcakes to match which were thoroughly enjoyed by our vegan guests. Thank you Sam!

Perfect wedding cake

Sam did our wedding cake for our special day. She is a kind and lovely lady who always ensured we was at ease. Sam listened to our preferences and answered all our questions. Our dog is a huge part of our life and we wanted her on our cake, Sam ensured she was included with a figurine and had her eating the cake.
Wedding cakes normally have a lot of leftovers, But this cake tasted so good there was hardly any left!. We also requested gluten free cupcakes and they were defiantly the best gluten free cupcakes I have ever had!
Thank you again Sam for being amazing and creating our dream wedding cake. It was perfect!! x

Fantastic look and taste of the cake - we got so many compliments from our guests and there was none of the cake left by the end of the evening! Smooth end to end process as well from first comms with Sam to the end - many thanks!

Our Wedding 27/07/24

Cake innovations were recommended to us, and from the start to finish Sam was so professional, relaxed and straightforward couldn't ask for anything more.
Sam started off by having a chat with us getting to know us and what kind of things we want and to get us to look for ideas/design that we like and so she can incorporate them once we've decided upon the style, tiers and flavours.
Sam also sent out taste boxes in October time of what flavours she offers, to allow us to decide what flavours we wanted.
Around January time we had another meeting with Sam and found designs that we liked and showed them to her and what flavours we decided to have.
Sam did two design for us as we was unable to decide how many tiers we actually wanted both tiers were hand drawn and incorporated everything we wanted on our cake.
We decided to go for the 4tier with sugar flowers.
The flavours we decided was Vanilla, White chocolate & Raspberry, Salted Caramel and lemon drizzle.
The design she draw was brought to life, everything we asked her to do from the flavours to the decorations and down to the colour of the sugar flowers was to perfection. I couldn't recommend cake innovations anymore if I tried, if you have sugar flowers, she gives you a guide/instructions on how to preserve them and keep them.
She even offers various cake stands, to go with her cakes & design to suit all.
We can't thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Lisa & Graeme

Sam made the most stunning 3 tied cake for our wedding. Our flavours were lemon drizzle, classic victoria sandwich & Gin & elderflower sponge. The flavour of each layer was amazing and the handmade sugar craft roses and foliage were so lifelike. I was so excited to see the final cake and was stunned by how beautiful it looked.

Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with, her ideas, design, creativity & vision for what we wanted was brilliant.

She is one very talented lady and I would highly recommend her.

Excellent from start to finish

Sam visited us at home to discuss cakes ideas, designs and flavours. She made us feel relaxed and she listened to our wishes without pressuring us.
Sam made regular contact with us, keeping us up to date with progress. She arranged the delivery and set up of the cake, she supplied us with allergy information. I would highly recommend Sam to others.

Our dream wedding cake

We cannot recommend Sam enough! We absolutely loved our cake and it is testament to her skill as a baker and designer. Sam listened to our needs and worked with us to develop a design. We opted for Lemon, chocolate, salted caramel and vanilla as our tiers and received so many complements on the cake design and flavours! Sam also made sugar flowers for our cake based on my wedding bouquet and provides the materials to preserve the flowers afterwards.

An amazing cake to remember

We got the chocolate and salted caramel cake and it went down without a problem with all of our guests and had some family members asking to take some home to have later

Beautiful and personal wedding cake

I didn't have an exact design ready, but knew the style and what elements we wanted to incorporate in the cake. Samantha listened to the description and came back with a lovely design that was absolutely gorgeous in person. I was blown away by how realistic the flowers were (cherry blossom and roses). The design was very elegant, just as hoped, and the flavours were delicious too! Sam even incorporated a vegan top layer for us and a non-alcoholic vanilla. I had no worries on the day because she was liaising directly with the venue herself (Hever Castle), and it came just as expected with a beautiful cake stand of hers as well.
