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.

Gorgeous cake & lovely supplier!

We would 1000% recommend Helen to create your wedding cake. She was so lovely to work with, really friendly and professional, and the cake flavours were amazing! Our guests loved all tier flavours we picked, and said it’s the most cake they’ve wanted to eat at a wedding ever! Helen is very talented, her communication in the lead up to our wedding was spot on and her organisation for arrival and setup on the day was fantastic. Thank you Helen!

Amazing Service

We have used Helen for a number of different occasions in the past as she creates incredible cakes and caters for allergies. So when we got engaged it was always going to be Helen that we went to. She tirelessly went through ideas and flavours with us as we were quite indecisive and we had the most incredible cake we could ever have imagined! We had loads of comments from people about how amazing the cake tasted as well as how elegant and detailed it was.

Helen the super star Baker

I chose Helen as my wedding cake provider, and all I can say was she was fantastic from beginning until end.
Helen offered us a wedding cake tasting trial, which was not only amazing due to the beautiful cakes, but she welcomed us into her home, and it gave such a natural and more personalised experience. Helen was such a lovely lady, who was easy to get along with.
The cake Helen made for us was beautiful. In the end we chose a cherry bakewell, chocolate and a carrot cake foe our 3 tiered cake. The decoration was beautiful, she lent us a cake stand and it was decorated exactly how we wanted.
I couldn't recommend Helen enough for anyone who is looking for a wedding cake which is amazing value for money!!!

Beautiful Wedding Cake! 🤍🍰

Helen is lovely and communication was very easy and clear. We were recommended Helen Bakery by some friends.

We had a cake tasting session, in the lead up to the wedding planning, which was really fun to do. There were so many great choice of cake flavours, we ended up going with 3!

Our wedding was in May and was almost 30 degrees. The cake stayed up ok in the heat, with a bit of help from the aircon at the venue.

Helen was willing to travel an hour to our venue, which we were super grateful for. Thank you so much again Helen!

Best around

Helen was increadable from start to finnish. From inital contact she made us feel so relaxed. We spent months trying to find someone to do our wedding cake. All eaither wanting to charge £2000+ and the flavours didnt wow us. But then we found Helen her cakes tasted increadable. Full of flavour and soft. After the tasting she even sent us home with some cake. We finally had our wedding day the cake was set up beautiful and was a massive hit with all the guests.
Cant rate her any more great value for money and amazing flavour and communication.

Absolutely amazing! ❤️

We couldn’t be happier with the cake we ordered! Not only did it look absolutely stunning, but it tasted even better than we imagined. The attention to detail was incredible, and you can really tell how much care and creativity went into making it. Every layer was fresh, moist, and full of flavor.

Communication throughout the process was smooth and professional, and everything was delivered right on time. It truly exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of the celebration!

I would highly recommend this cake Helen to anyone looking for something special and memorable. I’ll definitely be ordering again in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
