Yes I cater for guests who are intolerant to gluten, often by providing separately boxed cupcakes to make these guests feel really special. For a member of the bridal party a ‘Gluten free’ top tier is a perfect option.
Yes, I offer vegan cakes in a range of my signature recipes. I specially recommend the vegan chocolate cake for extra decadence!
I am unable to cater for guests with a nut allergy as, despite best endeavours, I cannot guarantee the absence of a trace presence as I do not have a separate working area to prepare these recipes in.
As a professional Cordon Bleu Chef I have created a very extensive list of flavours. * Victoria Sponge’ with vanilla-bean buttercream and scrumptious freshly-made raspberry jam (or strawberry on request). . * ‘Tangy Lemon Cake’ soaked with lemon syrup and filled with lemon buttercream. Adding Limoncello gives an Italian take on this refreshing option. * ‘Zesty Orange Cake’ soaked with orange syrup and orange buttercream. * ‘Light Chocolate Cake’ light textured yet deliciously chocolatey, fill
Yes, each tier can be a different favour and most of my couples choose to do this once they have tried their cake samples, with the largest tier/s as flavour/s they know will be ‘crowd pleasers’ and the smaller higher up tiers reflecting personal favourites/signature selections.

I always deliver and set up your cake on the day so that you have complete peace of mind and can truly focus on enjoying every second of your big day!

Our Sustainability Commitments
I source my ingredients as locally as possible and use seasonal produce where possible. I donate cake offcuts and any leftover cakes from venue showcases to my local community. Rather than providing physical cake handover sheets and allergen information, I email this to clients/venues to save paper and printing. I offset my unavoidable carbon emissions by donating to Project Seagrass.
