I’d already tasted Sarah’s cakes before booking her for our wedding, so knew it would be fab! We started with a delicious taster box with plenty of classic or unique flavour options to choose from. We’d always knew we wanted a flower bouquet of cupcakes as well as a tiered cake and Sarah delivered perfectly. From design, to flavour, to presentation it was all wonderful. Our vegan and gluten free guests loved that their cupcakes were the same design as other guests too! So many guests didn’t realise they were cakes instead of flowers, which was exactly as we’d wanted. I can’t wait to order another cake to celebrate our anniversary next year!

Sarah made our beautiful 4-tier intricate wedding cake and it was absolutely exceptional. So many compliments from our guests, even those who don't ordinarily like cake! I'm a hardcore baker myself, so it was really important to have a showstopper cake that not only tasted fantastic but looked the part too in our big English~Indian wedding. We wanted the icing to reflect a combination of the beautiful henna designs Indian brides are typically adorned with and also a magical, floral element, and Sarah rose to the challenge magnificently. She sourced bespoke stencils that incorporated intricate designs that had real meaning to us, and executed it perfectly. And the cakes tasted fantastic! Light, fresh, not too sweet or sickly, just super delicious. (We had lemon & blueberry, vanilla & raspberry Victoria sponge, black forest with a boozy cherry conserve, and red velvet). Nom! She also added a selection of beautiful flowers from our florist (Violets & Velvet) to finish it. From start to finish Sarah was brilliant, friendly and really helpful, and very reasonablly priced for the quality of her cakes. We highly recommend Layers & Graces, you won't be disappointed.

We couldn't recommend Katie enough! I have a dairy allergy and the wedding cake was one thing which I really wanted to be able to enjoy. Our originally baker had let us down and then I found The Hadham Rolling Pin. Katie was always very good at replying to emails and ensuring that the cake was exactly as we wanted, and completely dairy fee. She is very local to us and I am sure we will use her services in the future! I would recomend The Hadham Rolling Pin to anyone getting married.

We can't thank Emma from A Magical Slice enough for creating the most beautiful wedding cake for our special day at Wethele Manor. Emma is good friend of ours and always amazing to work with. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and brought our ideas to life with such care, creativity and attention to detail. The finished cake was absolutely stunning and looked even better than we could have imagined. Not only was the cake a real showstopper, but it tasted incredible too! Our guests loved it, and it was the perfect finishing touch to our wedding celebration. Emma's passion, talent and dedication really shone through, and we are so grateful to have had her be part of our day. Thank you for creating something so special that we will always remember. We would highly recommend A Magical Slice to any couple looking for a beautiful, personal and delicious wedding cake.

Rebecca is a cake extraordinaire!! ✨ Our wedding cake was absolutely amazing and so yummy!! We went for Lemon flavour tier and a Biscoff flavour tier, my husband is allergic to egg so never has cake but Rebecca made the tastiest eggless biscoff cake and my husband was so happy he could experience eating our wedding cake. I asked for a buttercream finish with cascading pearls and the finished result was a dream come true! We were originally going to have two tiers but after consultation as seeing some cake models when we went for our meeting we decided to add a 3rd ‘dummy’ tier and I’m SO glad we did because the 3 tiers scream ‘wedding cake’ to me. There was a little cake leftover and we have been enjoying a slice of cake with a cup of tea in the evening reminiscing on the day together. Rebecca also made our wedding favours, I don’t like random tat for wedding favours that no one will use again so I thought an edible favour would be the best idea! She made each guest an eggless lemon cakesicle and 2 mini sugar cookie’s presented in beautiful packaging that was laid out for our guests on their table. There were 0 boxes leftover by guests so that screams success to me!! Throughly recommend Rebecca xxx

We were absolutely delighted with our wedding cake and cupcakes from Jessica’s Bakes for our wedding on 14/06/26. We chose a salted caramel wedding cake along with lemon cupcakes, and both were incredible. Not only did they look beautiful, but they tasted amazing too. We received so many compliments from our guests. From the planning process through to delivery, everything was handled professionally and seamlessly. It was clear that a huge amount of care and attention went into every detail, and the final result exceeded our expectations. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and delicious centrepiece for our special day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica’s Bakes to anyone looking for outstanding cakes and sweet treats for their wedding or special event! 🎂🧁✨

would definitely recommend. Service was personal and offered creating advise. It was refreshing to work with this baker. The end product was not only a stunner to look at it the cake itself was very moist and ticked all the boxes for us and our guests.

Tanya made us the most beautiful wedding cake for us recently. She sent us an amazing taster box and the samples which we tasted were as good as the final creation! Tanya’s attention to detail was brilliant and she is so kind and caring too which always helps! I will be booking Tanya for my future birthday cakes! Thanks again!

Our cake was exactly what we wanted! From the amazing flavours to the design! We sent a reference picture and what we got was exactly what we wanted. We opted for 3 tiers, there were lots of different flavours we could choose from which was great and had the chance to order tasters on the lead up to the wedding. The flavours we chose were lemon, Victoria sponge and red velvet. They were all delicious and so moist! Our guests said the cake was amazing and that they wish they had gotten more slices when they had the chance! Cannot recommend enough

We couldn’t have been happier with the beautiful cake Sue created for our wedding. From start to finish, working with Finesse Wedding Cakes was an absolute pleasure, Sue was so friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. Our three-tier semi-naked cake was not only stunning to look at but tasted incredible too. The lemon and elderflower bottom tier was light and refreshing, the chocolate middle tier was rich and indulgent, and the champagne and strawberry top tier was simply perfect, such a lovely, elegant combination of flavours that our guests are still talking about! What truly made it extra special were the handmade figurines of our dogs, such an amazing personal touch and so beautifully done. They meant so much to us and really made the cake feel unique and “us”. Thank you, Sue, for creating something so memorable and delicious for our special day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Finesse Wedding Cakes to anyone looking for something truly exceptional.
