What about your business are you most proud of?
I am most proud of how much my business has grown in the last couple of years. Being asked to feature in Cumbria Wedding magazine was something I could have only dreamed of and I hope in the future I can get my work featured elsewhere as well.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't forget to style the cake! Think about what it's going to sit on? How are you going to dress the table it's sat on? Where will it be in the room? Cakes look good on display but they come to life when they are styled and displayed in a way that compliments the rest of your decor
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I
Describe your typical process with a couple.
With every couple I start by asking them to email a few details about their day, the venue, date, number of guests etc and any ideas they may have for their cake and I will provide a rough quote. Following this, all couples are invited to a consultation if they wish where they can discuss their ideas further as well as try some delicious tasters of their choice. Or for those who aren't local I offer a postal service for their tasters.
What is the most original creation you have baked for a wedding?
It has to be a trio of triangle cakes, which I've now created twice but they were both SO original and unique.
Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.
Making jam tarts with my Mum at a young age is one of my earliest and fondest memories. All our birthday cakes were homemade growing up and I guess baking has always been a part of my life. Everything I have learnt has either been passed down to me or discovered through experimenting.
