Amazing cake especially Vegan

Helen was amazing start to finish! She understood what wanted from our very first meeting. Delivery was flawless and the cake looked fantastic. To top it off guests raved it was the best cake they’d ever had and I would fully agree. Being vegan can sometimes be hard to get a good cake but this was outstanding! Thank you!

British/Dutch Yummy Cake!

Helen did an amazing job with our cake. We really just told her we'd like a half Dutch half British cake- we don't have a good imagination so we just spoke about a few things and she made it look great!
We were super happy!
The cake also tasted amazing 😍 we had White chocolate and raspberry, victoria sponge and salted caramel 🩷

Wedding cake and treat

Helen was brilliant! Amazing cake options for both the main wedding cake as well as all of the additional treats we added (tiramisu/vanilla cupcakes, brownies and biscoff/white chocolate & rasberry blondies). Lovely to meet her and taste a lot of the flavours to choose the best combination well in advance. Communication was good in the run up to the big day and then beautifully presented upon set up- she completely understood our vision.

The cake was delicious! The venue had to keep some of the treats aside for us as they went so quickly. All of guests commented on how tasty they were and the cake kept really really well for days after.

Highly recommend Helen’s Cakery!

Perfect and completely gluten free cake

Helen was brilliant and worked with us to create a completely gluten free tiered cake in different flavours. It was delivered without a hiccup, looked absolutely perfect and was well received by the guests. We also had a separate dairy free cupcake which was boxed, clearly labelled and I am told was very nice.

So pleased that we chose Helen to do our wedding cake.

Thank you for bringing our vision to life x

5* perfect

From the moment we met Helen at a wedding show, we knew we were in great hands. A few weeks later we had a tasting with her, where she helped us choose our cake flavours and design, including delicious gluten-free tiers for my coeliac wife. We provided all the details for our wedding day, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. The cakes just appeared where we needed them with no fuss.

On the day, the cakes exceeded all of our expectations. They were beautifully and immaculately presented, looked absolutely stunning, and tasted incredible. Every flavour was a huge hit with our guests, and the gluten-free cake was just as delicious as the others.

Helen was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding cake supplier. Thank you for creating such a memorable part of our special day!

Magnificent Wedding Cake

Helen made a magnificent wedding cake for us, with three tiers, comprising of a carrot & walnut, lemon & blueberry and red velvet sponge.
To our delight this extremely talented and experienced cake maker excelled with not only deliciously moist and flavoursome cakes but, also with exquisite decoration.
Helen all owed me to add my own sugarpaste rose, which she arranged with meticulous care.
Fabulous work Helen. Thank you.

Amazing cake highly recommend

We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding cake! It looked absolutely stunning and was everything we had hoped for. Not only was it beautiful, but it tasted incredible too – every flavour was delicious and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting it.

From the very beginning, nothing was ever too much trouble. Every question was answered, every request was accommodated, and the whole process was so easy and stress-free. Thank you for creating such a perfect centrepiece for our special day. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a talented, professional cake

Great tasting cake your guests will love

We had a really good service from Helen. We had a cake tasting appointment to chose the right flavours for our wedding. She also made gluten free cup cakes for guests with dietary needs and we asked her to bake some tray bakes for the evening reception, too. The lemon drizzle tray bake was highly recommended by our guests as was the red velvet tier of our wedding cake.

Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake

A huge thank you to Helen for making such a gorgeous wedding cake for my son’s wedding. The flavours were fabulous and the design met the brief exactly. From the taste testing right through to the placement of the cake at the venue Helen was welcoming, adaptable and professional. She was happy to allow me to make the centre piece for the top of the cake then linking the rest of the design in beautifully. I won’t hesitate to recommend her to others!

We loved Helen’s Cake!

We found Helen, following a Google search for wedding cakes near Stratford upon Avon..

She was so easy to communicate with and totally understood what we wanted.
Helen gave us a variety taster pack, which created more of a problem as all of her cakes were delightful!

On the wedding day, Helen arrived ahead of time. And our cake looked amazing and tasted just as good.

Thank you so much for taking the stress of the wedding cake away from us.

Most Dreamiest Wedding Cake

Well where do I start Helen was absolutely exceptional we had been to a friends wedding a few years back and we were amazed at her talent and said we'd love to have her one day for our special day. We got married at Shustoke Barns in Coleshill last Saturday and Helen couldn't have done a better wedding cake 🍰 anything we threw at her she took and created the most gorgeous cake for our big day. Considering we both have allergies Nut and Coeliac she was still able to create the perfect wedding cake. We really enjoyed going to her beautiful home and trying her cake out and narrowing down what we wanted. Here are some photos of the day. I would very much highly recommend Helen for both non allergies and allergies she will pull it out the bag for anyone regardless of that allergies you have.
