Wedding cakes and grand estates!

I’ve been asked to make some really beautiful and very individual cakes so far this year so thought I’d share a few of them with you along with details of the stunning Norfolk wedding venues I’ve been lucky enough to visit. It’s a wedding cakes...

Norfolk Wedding Cakes: Romantic Floral Wedding Cake

I’m totally in love with this romantic floral Wedding Cake I was recently asked to make. The romantic floral style in ivory on ivory is so classic and elegant. It looked perfect set up at Dunston Hall where the wood panelled room overlooks the beautifully...

Kylo Ren Cake

Having grown up with Star Wars in the 70’s, I couldn’t help but get caught up in the recent buzz surrounding the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. My pre teen years were spent wishing that one day I’d have hair long enough to plait like...

Sunshine and sunflowers

The most enjoyable part of my job has to be meeting with customers to design their wedding cake. Sometimes the Bride and Groom know exactly what they want down to the last detail but more often than not they’re happy to chat through ideas, look for inspiration,...
