What Our Clients Say
Christine made our wedding cake based on a design we’d seen online, in pale pink with flower decorations and a Chinese motif. It looked amazing, we were so pleased with it and our guests commented on how stunning it was. It also tasted great – three tiers each a different flavour so all guests had something they could enjoy. Thanks so much Christine, it really made our day extra special 😊🎂 xx

Nicola
Beautiful custom birthday cake for my daughter’s first birthday, made in only five days at a really reasonable price. Gorgeous moist lemon sponge, which looked even better than the pinterest pics I originally sent. Thanks Christine!
Kellie

Jess
We met Christine last year through the website. She invited us to her house to discuss making our wedding cake, she had samples of cake to taste. She listened to our ideas and we designed a cake between us. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to make such a beautiful cake, not only did it look amazing it tasted delicious. A 3 tier cake all different flavours. I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to family and friends. She also delivered the cake to the venue and stayed to congratulate us.
