As a venue we would highly recommend Sue to anyone we work with. She is extremely professional and friendly! When we have worked with her she delivers the cake along with a full set up. We hear all night from guests how wonderful her cakes are! Definitely looking forward to working with Sue again :)!

The best wedding cake ever!!!

From start to finish it was a pleasure to have Sue design and bake our cake for our wedding day. It was stunning to look at and each tier was delicious. Our favourite had to be the chocolate orange!!! The whole process was really easy and I knew from day 1 I could rely on Sue. I always knew I had wanted a 4 tier cake, something simple but still had the wow factor. On our consultation, Sue suggested taking a small part of the pattern design on my dress and creating it out of icing to add to our cake. What a brilliant idea! I loved the fact our cake could even tie in with our themes. It was a beautiful cake, that still receives compliments from our guests 6 months after our wedding! I would recommend Sue to anyone I know that’s getting married. X

Delicious Cake with Amazing Detail!

Sue was a fantastic choice for our wedding cake! We had a friendly informal tasting first off where we sampled all the delicious flavours - it was so hard to choose. We eventually went with light sponge, lemon, chocolate orange and cherry bakewell! Sue also created a custom-made cake topper of the two of us sitting on top of the world, and the resemblance is uncanny! The attention to detail is fantastic. Sue was super friendly and accomodating throughout the whole experience and we would definitely recommend Finesse Cakes to others.

The best wedding cakes and customer service!!!!

Sue was amazing to deal with from start to finish, she was recommended by a friend and we we're so glad we chose her. We decided on the initial cake and nothing was too much trouble when making alterations or discussing potential other options. We left some of the decisions in Sue's hands i.e. Adding a bow if she felt it would look good and the cake design and taste was everything we dreamed of and more. We had 4 tiers of different flavours and most of the cake had already gone before we got our hands on it so I think that says a lot for how yummy it was and how much our guests enjoyed it! Thank you again Sue for your amazing customer service and our beautiful delicious wedding cake! Rebekah

The whole process from visiting Sue to choose our design, our flavours and shape, to finalising the details and delivering our cake was all made so easy and such an amazing experience by Sue. Her eye for detail and finishing touches filled me with confidence that the cake would be exactly what we wanted. The cake was more amazing than we could have imagined and everyone commented on our delicious all the flavours we had were. We cannot thank Sue enough and can’t recommend her enough!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every wedding has a special place in my heart. From small to large, simple to intricate, each cake is just as important as another, representing each couples dreams for their wedding day.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

classic, elegant, timeless, quality, outstanding

What about your business are you most proud of?

All the amazing feedback I get from my very happy couples - that's what makes this business so special.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Spend a little time before you come to your consultation getting a feel for what styles of cake you like and don't worry about what anyone else thinks or likes - your cake is all about you!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Surprise extra's on the cake like little models around the back of special people, pets or hobbies.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

After initial contact either via email or wedding fairs, couples are invited to my home for a relaxed chat and cake tasting consultation to discuss their cake ideas. They get to view my portfolio, display cakes and taste loads of samples, whilst I start to draw up their designs. After the consultation, I produce a full schedule for their cake and formally draw their design(s) up and then email these to them for consideration. Booking is via a £100 deposit, which secures the date in the diary. We chat over the following months as elements of the cake are finalised/amended where necessary (such as flowers, lace designs, toppers) and then 6 weeks before the wedding everything is approved and final payment is made. The week of the wedding I liaise with the couple to confirm delivery arrangements that I have made with the venue and the cakes are then delivered and set up on the day of the wedding.

What is your signature cake?

Sugar flowers, elegant design, tall tiers.

What is the most original creation you have baked for a wedding?

Superman themed Groom's cake (I specialise in novelty cakes as well so unusual projects are no problem).

Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.

I made my own wedding cake and the rest is history.

What would be your show stopper in the Great British Bake Off?

Beautiful sugar flowers on tall tiers.
