Last update: December 2025
The Crafty Baker was formed in 2020 by Sue Soley, the owner. Based in Shefford, Bedfordshire, Sue started her cake business during lockdown, creating gorgeous cakes for all occasions. She soon discovered that her passion lay in creating wedding cakes and found that being part of a couple's big day and creating something beautiful and delicious was incredibly special and creatively rewarding.
Sue is known for her scrumptious flavour combinations, attention to detail and warm personality ... not to mention a wicked sense of humour! She works in all mediums - buttercream, ganache and sugarpaste and offers a variety of decorative options, working with you to advise on the finish and style to complement your venue and wedding theme.
If you choose to work with Sue, you'll be invited for a cake tasting and consultation, so that she can delve into your own style and your vision for your wedding, to ensure your cake is tailored uniquely to you. You can expect great communication throughout, professional liaison with your venue, but most importantly, an incredibly delicious, aesthetically beautiful cake.
Based in Shefford, Bedfordshire, The Crafty Baker offers delicious wedding cakes and beautiful handcrafted sugar flowers.
