Couldnt ask for better

Straight from the beginning, Pippa was very accommodating, helpful and provided us with everything we needed to know. The cakes are extremely reasonably priced and Pippa works to your budget and is very clear on what your budget gives you. What she agrees with you, you definitely get X10. You can see Pippa's Passion for creating and designing these cakes which is why it feels wrong to say she is just a cake maker. We enjoyed the cake tasting experience where we got to try a range of her delicious cakes which led to us picking different flavours for our 4 tier cake. Pippa kept us up to date through the journey and set us drawings of the cake which blew our expectations out of the water when we came to see the cake. The cake on the day was absolutely beautiful and had many guests talking about it. It was so beautiful, we didn't want to cut it up. But once some of it was, the cake was so delicious. It was moist and flavourful. The top tier was designed specifically for myself and my husband, so we can share this together for our 1 year anniversary. Pippa has been wonderful all round, and we couldn't fault her or her cakes in anything. We will continue to recommend Pippa to everyone. Thank you Pippa for everything!

Wonderful wedding cake

The cake that Pippa prepared for us tasted simply divine (we had guests taking some back to their rooms in the evening in case it ran out), and it achieved the simplistic but elegant look we wanted.

Thank You - You're Amazing

Just had to thank you Pippa for not only being so kind and lovely to us both and putting my mind at rest regularly, but for creating such a stunning cake for us at the weekend. You really are an artistic wonder. Adam and Sameira

Made me Cry

Just cannot thank you enough Pip for all you did for us. Our cake was out of this world and made me cry when I first saw it. It was exactly as I had envisioned and boy did it taste amazing too. Truly a work of art. Thank You.

Unusual and Just What We Wanted

Pippa really understood what we wanted. Our cake was going to be a little different than a traditional cake as we wanted things like theatre masks, shells, stars and goat cake toppers!! It was a weird selection yet Pippa made it fit perfectly together. The cake tasted amazing oud our guests absolutely loved it. It lasted well after and we still have some in the freezer.

A Genius

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.

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 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 stunning.

cakesFaqQuestion1

July 2018 - Way too hot! Probably the hottest day of the year and a once chilled and perfect wedding cake had the greatest opportunity of becoming a huge chocolate mess on the floor! We put every fan, every cooler we could find around the display until the newlyweds arrived. Luckily the couple wisely took the decision to cut the cake before anything else at the reception and it was whisked away to a cool fridge! Heart stopping moment!

Keep your budget realistic - everything costs more than you think!

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

Be realistic. If you're wanting just to tick a box we are probably not for you. Edible art takes time, and a healthy budget. Always find vendors that will understand your vision, understand your ideas and will produce something within your budget.

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

We do many little things that we keep quiet from our couples - always goes down well. Not telling what they are though!!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

First contact is usually via e-mail through a planner or the couple themselves. As a bespoke creator we will work with each couple individually to make sure we understand their vision and requirements for their day.

Choose between our Classic or Luxury consultation and we will sit together to discuss all the details for your day, digitally design your showstopper, then bake, create, deliver to your venue and leave you with amazing memories.

What is your signature cake?

All white tiers, textured fondant, exquisite sugar flowers from spring florals to cascading roses.
