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.

Delicious!

Until I met Pippa I didn’t even want a wedding cake! I went from no cake to a 4 tier delicious dream! The cake was the most tasty thing I had ever had and it was designed absolutely perfectly! Our guests couldn’t get enough and we are still eating it now! Each tier was more delicious than the last, we had - pumpkin spiced latte, raspberry and white chocolate, lemon and elderflower and strawberry and rose. So tasty!

The sweetest experience

Nothing less than five stars across the board for Pippa, who has been wonderful since day one. We couldn't have asked for better guidance, flexibility and reassurance during the whole process, especially dealing with postponing our wedding due to COVID. She's been patient and kind and was polite enough to sit and let us stuff our faces with samples during a Zoom consultation! Her recipes are divine - you couldn't ask for tastier cake - and her creativity in designing is second to none. We've had the best experience. Thank you, Pippa!

Amazing cake

I would strongly recommend sugar and spiced cakes. Pippa managed to make our wedding day feel special again despite numerous disappointments from elsewhere. She always responded promptly and was so flexible to all the unexpected changes we experienced. The cake tasted delicious, looked amazing and Pippa was an absolute delight to work with.

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.

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.
