pleasure to work with

Honestly thank you so so SO much for the most beautiful and tasty wedding cake yesterday!!! It was absolutely stunning and not only that it was honestly demolished, we have only the smallest amount left over. We had over 100 people there and sooo many commented on how delicious the cake was. I mention the amount of people just so you understand the scale of how many people you made happy, they just kept going back for more and more! You have been an absolute pleasure to work with. lucy & Tom

"Hey, Holly. We hope you're well. We just wanted to thank you again for the amazing cake! People were mesmerized by it I've attached a few photos. It was so tastey and amazing, the vegan cupcakes were perfect too! I love how my first ever dream I had of my wedding was getting engaged and getting in contact with you to do my cake, to it actually getting engaged and contacting you within 48hrs, to seeing your masterpiece at my wedding! Xx"

fantastic topper. Holly is amazing. Whenever I have needed to ask a question or just needed to give her some information, she’s got back to me straight away and sorted whatever I needed. This lady cares about each and everyone of her brides. She’s exactly what you see on the tin. Holly takes her work personally. Over the last week or so my topper lady has totally been a shambles and eventually let me down with my topper (just forgot to tell me). Holly has made me a topper in under 24hrs notice

What can I say about Holly?! Only that her name should be ‘fairy godmother’ not sugar mum fairy. I first spoke to Holly whilst talking to different people about how I wanted a semi naked cake. After being told “it will go dry” by numerous suppliers I called Holly and she instantly put my worries aside and told me her plan. At that point I put my faith in Holly and I’m so glad I did. Holly has gone above and beyond these last few weeks to not only make me a beautiful cake but also make up a

Holly you are the most talented cake maker ever, my wedding cake, the master piece, just wow. I’m not quite sure that words can express how incredibly thankful we are for you to do our cake.

Thankyou

Holly is amazing! Not only is her cake making skills beyond incredible, she is the nicest most genuine women! We had a two tier wedding cake, completely to our specifications, she executed it beyond perfectly! We had coffee and walnut for our top tier and sticky toffee for the bottom and everyone said it was absolutely delicious! She made our wedding day so special and we will forever be in her debt! Thank you

some couples know exactly what they want and send such designs through. we discuss flavours and sizes and arrange a taster box if wanted at a later date.

some couples are deer's in headlights and i totally understand how daunting creating a cake design is, especially if you have never ordered a cake before so i recommend if possible a video call or arranging to come see me at home. equipped with ideas, mood boards and what themes have already been decided. and we go from there.
