Charlotte & Dan - 01.06.2025

Right from the first time I contacted Pippa, she was absolutely amazing. She would respond to emails extremely quickly, she would answer any questions we had, and most importantly, helped us bring our dream wedding cake to life. Meeting Pippa for a cake testing session was our favourite part of the wedding planning process. She was very knowledgeable, made us feel at ease and guided us throughout the whole journey from design to cake.

Our wedding cake was thoroughly enjoyed by all of our guests and was a real showstopper.

We would highly recommend Pippa for any couple in need of a stunning, bespoke masterpiece!!

Best cake we’ve ever had!

Great service, highly recommended. The white chocolate and raspberry cake was the best cake we’ve ever had! Pip was able to recreate our memories in a beautiful bespoke design and able to cater for all our allergies.

Delicious and stunning wedding cake!

We used sugar and spiced cakes for our wedding in October and we had a fantastic experience. Not only was our wedding cake stunning, it was also absolutely delicious! The cake was exactly as we imagined, we are so grateful! We would highly recommend sugar and spiced cakes.

Autumnal showstopper

Pippa is absolutely glorious! My Mum met Pippa at a wedding fair in Tunbridge Wells back in late 2021 and we all knew from that day onwards, Pippa was the woman to create our showstopper.
We went for a cake testing at Pippa’s gorgeous house, accompanied by the best afternoon tea (highly recommend), and Pippa drafted our visions into a stunning reality.
Pippa frequently contacted us throughout the process, excitedly anticipating our big day alongside us and giving us beautiful sneak peeks!
Fast forward to our wedding day, Pippa made the long journey from Kent to Epping to make our wedding dreams come true. And what a cake! From the intricate design to the delicious taste, our cake was perfection and the fond topic of conversation amongst our guests.
We cannot recommend Pippa enough!
Thank you for everything Pip! Love Shannon and Jimmy xx

Gorgeous flower cupcakes

Pippa was very responsive and great to deal with when we were planning our wedding cupcakes. She created exactly what we wanted and we were very happy with our cupcakes.
The cost of the cupcakes was more than we planned to spend and more than other floral cupcake providers I had researched in the south of England, however, Pippa was happy to price up some different options for us. I'd recommend getting a ballpark price ahead of the consultation so you know roughly what to expect.

A beautiful cake reflecting my Colombian roots

I absolutely loved the cake that Pippa made for my wedding. I am a Colombian who married a Brit, and since the wedding was going to be at a very English venue, I wanted the cake to bring some elements from Colombia. Pippa made the most unbelievable cake, reflecting the biodiversity of Colombian plants and flowers, including orchids and birds of paradise. Pippa's professionalism and ease of service throughout the planning and ordering process made it a delightful experience. Not only was the cake beautiful, but also delicious. The cake exceeded all my expectations.

Entirely positive - cannot recommend highly enough!

Pippa is a very talented and creative baker with a real gift for turning ideas into stunning and classy reality. She was fully engaged, enthusiastic and supportive throughout. It was one element of the day that we really didn’t worry about. And the result was beautiful and absolutely delicious!

Perfect in every way!

We got tastings sent to us via mail of different flavours we wanted to try which was super helpful for us as we don't leave near by but there was also the lovely option to go and spend some time trying flavours in person. All of the cakes were superb and everything was made so easy for us! On the day the cake went down amazingly, everyone loved it so much and it looked so beautiful! It was just perfect!

Your cake moved us to pieces

My wife Zoe and I found Sugar and Spiced cakes through hitched.
We had only given ourselves 6 months to arrange our big day, and found Pippa extremely easy to work with.
She really helped bring our imagined cake to life and went above and beyond during the whole experience.
We could not recommend Sugar and Spiced cakes highly enough, you are not just buying a cake, you are buying years of knowledge and a centre piece for your wedding you can be proud of.
With eternal thanks,
The newly weds

Dream comes true

Pippa was a delight to work with and I can honestly say that of all of the suppliers I dealt with organising my daughter's wedding, Pippa gave us no problems or worries. She captured Victoria's fairytale wedding in her beautiful cake after only one consultation - amazing!

Lovely Cakes!

We're grateful to Pippa for her advice and flexibility when designing the cakes for our summer garden party wedding. We had a gluten free chocolate cake, a white chocolate and raspberry cake and a lemon and elderflower cake - all were utterly perfect.

Absolutely Amazing!

Pippa is a genius! No other word for it. Also one of the nicest people I've had the fortune to meet. Everything from the initial meeting, through tasting right up until the big day was excellent. The cake was stunning, never seen or tasted anything like it. It was a big hit with the guests and worth every penny. I cannot thank or recommend Pippa enough.

A dream come true

Pippa is just amazing, so clever and has made our dream cake a reality! I had an idea of what I wanted and Pippa was able to create it, without losing the quality of a cake. The flavours were incredible and everyone told us how tasty it was. Thank you so so much. I can’t recommend this business more!

Founder

I'm Pippa Middlehurst.

An innovative and experienced cake maker with an extensive background in hospitality. Following 20 years of planning, creating, and running many fabulous weddings and events, I narrowed my focus to an incredibly significant part of every celebration - the cake.

With the support and guidance and training from industry professionals and skilled bakers, I founded Sugar and Spiced Cakes. Today, as an award-winning cake-maker, I produce one-of-a-kind luxury wedding cakes for a truly discerning clientele.

I’m incredibly dedicated to each stage of the process, from the detailed design I develop from our first conversation, to the moment your luxury cake is delivered to your chosen venue, and the many hours of baking, icing and finessing in between.

Couples come to SSC for an aspirational design, exquisite sugar flowers, luxury ingredients and first class service.
