Perfect cake!

Thanks for a lovely cake! Loved the tasting boxes which created a lovely evening with my partner! The cake was both delicious and beautiful, the perfect addition to our day.

Super creative and delicious cakes

The design and flavours of our cake were very important to us (particularly my husband- it was essentially the only aspect of the wedding planning he was ultra enthusiastic about!) We had an initial call with Karen and went through some design options before ordering a cake sample box which was delivered promptly and well packaged. Karen came up with really creative ideas for something classy but also personalised to us and was very flexible with some of our flavour and design preferences. Ultimately we went for cherry bakewell (almond & cherry), chocolate orange ganache and lemon tiers. Karen's sugar work is impeccable and noone believed the rose on top wasnt real. Overall she is a joy to work with and we can't recommend her highly enough!

Wow wow wow!

We cannot thank Karen enough for the incredible job she did with our wedding cake! After sharing some inspo photos and chatting to her about what we had in mind, she absolutely brought our vision to life—and then went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. The cake wasn’t just a showstopper in how beautiful it looked (seriously, it was incredible), but everyone couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was, too! Guests, family, and even some of our suppliers were asking for seconds—it was that good! If you’re getting married, we highly recommend Karen. She’s truly amazing at what she does! Thank you thank you thank you! ❤️

Beautiful cake, amazing icing flowers and tasted great too!

The most amazing cake - both the appearance and taste - Karen got the icing flowers exactly right, matching the types and colours to the flowers that we had grown for our wedding tables. Seriously skillful creation of dahlias, cosmos, sweet peas and eucalyptus in icing!! Great communication & organised throughout the process too which I appreciated a lot.

Beautiful design and so delicious!

Karen was a delight to work with and everything was done seamlessly between her and our venue. She created our beautiful cake with little input from us and knew how to make it beautiful, but equally could have done a range of designs. The best part though was how delicious it was! We got to enjoy the remainder of the cake for the next couple of days and it was so moist and yummy. Highly recommend!
