Tom C. Married on 05/11/2021A cake filled with passion
Yvonne constructed us a fantastic cake, crafted with skill and passion.
Yvonne was very responsive and inquisitive from the start. We initially reached out with our home-grown cake design which hit things off very well to start (I'd recommend any couple consider designing their own cake).
Her response was excited, and the next step was having some samples to taste. We had samples from Yvonne and 2 other potential cake suppliers, and not only had Yvonne's eccentric attitude encouraged us towards her, but her cake samples (and butter-cream icing!) set her well above the competition. They came quickly, were reasonably priced and gave us plenty to sample (both in quantity of cake and variety of flavours) allowing us to make the best decision we could.
We had occasional communications with Yvonne all the way up to the wedding, as she was both very responsive to our questions and inquisitive to ensure her masterpiece was being made correctly for us.
On the morning of the wedding, Yvonne was promptly on time and setup the cake efficiently, and it looked great! It stood proud all day to the cake cutting, and was absolutely delicious in the evening (and the few evenings to follow!). She had even constructed a log stand for the cake to ensure it was stable and looked just right.
I'd recommend Yvonne and her passion to anyone looking for a great cake for their wedding day - thank you very much!Cakes from the Cottage's reply:
Hi Tom and Meg,
It was my pleasure. Thank you for your lovely review, I was hooked when I saw your design and I was hoping you would choose me to make your beautiful cake. Thank you for choosing me and I wish for you both a long and very happy future together, and I am so pleased that you were as over the moon with the cake as I was making it. -

Abinaya M. Married on 29/08/2020WOW! Cake looked and tasted amazing
I can't thank Yvonne enough for making my wedding cake for me. I reached out to her last minute due to my initial cake maker dropping out. Yvonne was patient with me and answered all my questions, dealt with me wanting to change designs and asking for quotes for each change. I am so thankful to her and my cake turned out amazing! and tasted so good, everyone said how good it tasted. If I have another big event I will be coming back. Thank you so much for making my cake.Cakes from the Cottage's reply:
Dear Abinaya,
Thank you for your review, but most of all thank you for asking me to be a part of your special day, Thrilled to be a part of your wedding. Thank you.

Lovely company
Excellent service from this company. Yvonne really looked after us and the cake she made tasted lovely and looked beautiful. On the day Yvonne took the time to set up the cake just how we wanted. Beautiful addition to our wedding reception. Would definitely recommend.Cakes from the Cottage's reply:
Thank you Michelle for your lovely review. I must say I was encouraged by your relatives, guests and husband cheering me on and making 'oo' 'aah' comments as I worked. You are both obviously well loved and there was a warmth and sense of joy at the venue. I am pleased that you are pleased and I wish for you both a long and happy future. Thank you for making me a part of your special celebration. -
