Delicious and exceptional service!

Ruth recently did our wedding cake and it was absolutely beautiful! It was exactly what we had visioned and throughout the whole process Ruth carefully listened to what we were looking for to create the cake we dreamed of!

Ruth took the time to talk with us to plan our flavours and what we’d like authentically and then she created the perfect 3 tier cake for us which was absolutely delicious. Our guests loved the cake and have been eating in ever since!

On the day of the wedding I didn’t even see Ruth. She snook in and delivered the cake and even completed all the decorations with our fresh flowers. She was so attentive and professional and made sure everything was perfect for our day.

Thank you for making our memorable cake Ruth. It was just what we had hoped for.

Gorgeous cake

We hired southwell cakery for our wedding last month and it was everything we asked for. We had a three tiered sage green/marbled cake which fitted our theme and vision perfectly. With three different flavoured layers, they do so many amazing flavours that it was difficult to choose. Ruth was so helpful and easy to deal with, we wouldn't have chosen anyone else. Thankyou

Marvellous & Magical

What can I say other than Ruth at Southwell Cakery made choosing the perfect cake so easy, samples to try and a meeting of different options available. Such a professional friendly service. I can’t recommend Southwell Cakery too much. The finish product was exactly my vision. Ruth made my wedding cake dream come true

Faultless service and an incredible cake

Ruth made me a small wedding cake to top a stack of donuts my son’s wedding last Sunday. It was beautiful and extremely delicious! She was so helpful with tips and advice on storage before the wedding and also transportation. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will certainly call on her services again

Out of this world

Thank you so much for creating our dream wedding cake! We loved all the flavours and the guests went back for more so not much was bought home.

Mmmm jolly tasty cake!

From the tasting and discussing ideas stage, to refining our order and producing the cake itself, Ruth was a joy to deal with. We’ve had so many compliments about how the cake looked and tasted - the only tricky thing is trying to decide which tier was our favourite flavour as they were all super yummy!

Just perfect!!

Ruth was absolutely amazing!! We had a 4 tier cake with three different flavours and each of them were amazing!! Our guests absolutely loved the cake. The service provided was exceptional. We had very little idea about how we wanted our cake to look but sent over some bits that matched our wedding theme and left in the hands of Southwell Cakery - the final result was stunning!!

Thank you so much Ruth for such a beautiful (and tasty) wedding cake!

Scrumptious and effortless

Ruth made the cake and cookie favours for our wedding. We had a hard decision of which 3 flavours for the cake as all the samples that we tried were delicious. The cakes Ruth creates are a work of art and taste amazing. The cookies were incredible too and all our guests loved them. The communication throughout was brilliant, any queries we had were responded to quickly and it was a joy to work with Ruth.
Thank you so much
