Imagine a cake that looks so beautiful and tastes so delicious!

My name is Sandra and at Sandra's Cakes St Andrews I create beautiful, bespoke, luxury wedding cakes which are lovingly handcrafted in my home studio in the beautiful St Andrews, Fife. All of my cakes are baked fresh to order using the best quality local ingredients. I beleive that homemade is best and I make all my jams, curds and filling from scratch and I only use Swiss meringue, Italian meringue buttercreams and whipped ganache.

Sandra commits to only one cake per week, ensuring that each client has her undivided attention and focus. She will begin with a complementary tea-and-cake consultation in her studio, where you can discuss your ideal design and taste-test six different cake flavours. Sandra specialises in hand-crafted sugar flowers, as well as wafer paper and stain-glass-effect flowers. On your big day, she will take care of delivery and setup at your venue while you focus on the important things.

Sandra is everything!

Sandra is everything!
She patiently walked us through all the options for our cake, making it a memorable desert for our event!
Despite us being based out of Scotland, we organized a lovely tasting and she also involved us in every step of the proceeds, from building the cake, flavors for us, and decoration.
I will surely find an excuse to get a second cake in the near future!

Absolutely wonderful first tasting

We knew Sandra was a gem from the moment we rang her doorbell to the moment we left, feeling stuffed and content in the notion that we were in good hands. The tasting took place in Sandra’s lovely home, which just as you would imagine from any fairytale involving bakers, smelled of warm cake and chocolate. Sandra really took the time to get to know us as we sipped her generously offered tea and coffee. I had been diagnosed with coeliac the day before, but Sandra was amazing enough to bake me fresh gluten free brownies which are bar none the best I have ever tasted. My lovely fiancé Olivier happily ate his way through the six delicious cake samples Sandra had prepared and to say he was happy would be the understatement of the century. He was given a pen and paper to jot down notes on which has been really helpful to look at post tasting. We are eager to go back and taste the gluten free versions for myself, which was a relief to hear we could do. Sandra is warm, kind and the dream wedding cake baker. We would recommend her in a heartbeat if for no other reason than her company being absolutely enchanting.

Cake Tasting

We booked Sandra without even meeting prior, due to the amount of positive reviews we read online.
She invited us for a cake tasting to help us secure our flavour choices for our wedding cake. Gave us five cakes to try and tea/coffee. Wonderful experience - so lovely and professional. Kitchen looked wonderful and cakes tasted great! We were able to come up with new ideas based on her most popular flavours. All of her ingredients are homemade or sourced from Scotland.

Happy customer!

When we first enquired about Sandras services, she kindly invited us to her home for a cake tasting. It was a lovely welcoming experience, where we ate lots of delicious cake and discussed our vision. She really took on board everything we asked and created a beautiful cake. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Super Tea & Cake Consultation

Can’t eulogise enough about Sandra’s warmth and hospitality when we visited her home to decide on our choice of wedding cake. Sampling the different options on her menu was a delicious journey to a tricky decision as they all had their merits. Cannot wait to hear our guests discuss and enjoy our choice and can only hope that a few pieces are left behind so that we can enjoy some more of the cake beyond our happy day! Thanks so much Sandra for all your advice, support and your humble coffee making skills too!

Amazing experience with Sandra

Sandra made the most beautiful three tier wedding cake for our wedding in August. From start to finish, Sandra was brilliant to deal with, as she was so lovely and responsive. The cake was also well-priced. Sandra was very helpful when we were designing the cake and we then had the pleasure of going to her house for a cake tasting. This was amazing and we were able to taste a really good selection of flavours, but Sandra was more than happy to do any combo that we wanted. The cake on the day was stunning and was the best wedding cake I've ever had (and many of our guests agreed!). It was absolutely delicious - not at all hard, as many wedding cakes are, and wasn't covered in slabs of fondant icing. We couldn't recommend Sandra more highly! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

What can we say! Sandras' cakes are the best!


We met her a few months before our wedding for a tasting session which was great, although it made it virtually impossible to pick what kind of cake we wanted as they all tasted incredible! We opted for 2 tier (one lemon curd and one blueberry & white chocolate). She makes all the jams, filling, edible lace etc, herself using the highest quality ingredients. She is a perfectionist.
Aside from this, she took the time to deliver our beautiful cake to our wedding venue (in the middle of nowhere!) to ensure it arrived in one piece and then she dressed it beautifully onsite.
When her smiley wee face popped round the door to my room as I was getting ready, it made my day. I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing, she had it all in hand. As I said, she's a perfectionist. Thank you so much for being part of our big day Sandra. You are the best. Lots of love, Alma & Steve x

Delicious wedding cake!

Sandra made our wedding cake and it was soo delicious. She offered us a tea and cake consultation to think about cake design and flavours before our wedding. Our wedding cake was perfect and Sandra was so lovely too. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious

If you’re looking for your wedding cake, look no further. The wedding cake Sandra made for our wedding was absolutely outstanding. Sandra was extremely professional and kind and she listened to exactly what we were looking for and fulfilled everything to high standard. We’ve been invited to Sandra‘s house for a cake consultation. She couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely afternoon trying Sandra‘s different flavours of cake.
Everyone absolutely raved about how good the cake tasted at the wedding and it looked absolutely beautiful just what we were looking for. I would highly recommend Sandra‘s cake.

The most WONDERFUL wedding cake!

Sandra made our wedding cake this winter and it was above and beyond anything we could've asked for. We attended a cake tasting with Sandra, and even though all of the flavours were delicious, we were able to work with her to make small changes that made our cake totally unique to us - catering to our love for coffee! Sandra gave us advice on portioning/size, flavours, design and created a delicious cake. Our guests absolutely loved it and it was hands down the best wedding cake we've ever tasted. Thank you Sandra - you were a dream to work with!

Sandra the angel of cakes

Sandra is possibly the nicest human being on the planet!!! We had our cake tasting and myself and husband could not believe how incredible every single sample was. Even my husband, who is not a nut fan, absolutely loved the pistachio cake.
We came across Sandra on instagram and it was the best addition to our supplier list for our wedding! Her communication was excellent and the attention to detail is second to none, you can tell this is her labour of love. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!
Thank you Sandra!!! Love Brendan and Ruth x

Brilliant from start to finish

We hired Sandra for our wedding and she catered for my dietary needs brilliantly. Gluten free cake can be a bit dry but this was excellent. Our 3 tiered cake had a different flavour each layer (chocolate, raspberry and white choc, Victoria sponge) and each was lovely.
