I adored making this Leo the lion cake for a first birthday!!!

Such a lovely design that was sent over for me to recreate. The added flowers were a lovely touch!

A delicious vanilla sponge with jam used here to feed all the guests of the party.

Happy 1st Birthday!!

Another birthday cake in a choc explosion with ombré chocolate outer level.

Perfect for a chocolate lover who loves dark, milk and white chocolate.

Chocolate fudge cake filled with chocolate ganache and then coated in more chocolate, buttercream and cake topper.

I’ve been a little late posting the following items due to a very exciting update

But, a very happy birthday to Rio who turned 18!

A huge fan of Tottenham Hotspur’s with dark blue butter cream on a sheet cake filled with buttercream too.

A sheet cake is a great idea if you need some easy slices to share with about 18 people.

We hope you enjoyed!

Sorry everyone!!! I’ve been a bit awol lately and couldn’t find it in me to post.

I was left feeling a bit upset at the latest theft from our village cake shed so I hid away to feel sorry for myself whilst I mulled over some ideas.

I’ve investigated all of your ideas, cameras, locks, codes, going into post office etc and for various reasons including a lot of GDPR and licensing laws none of them are viable at this time.

Nicola of course has been amazing and very supportive and has offered to host some pop up events etc for me at the counter so watch this space for that.

However, in the meantime I am very sorry to announce that the cake shed is to close. I cannot afford to lose over £30 each week on lost stock from a particular group of people that each week are stealing from me.

I can still do bespoke bakes and if I am doing bakes I’ll over bake etc as I am based in the village so can easily do collection/delivery.

I’m still doing celebration cakes too so don’t forget that 🤩

For now, I want to thank every single one of you who supported and bought off me it absolutely means the world!!!!

I hope to see you all again soon. Watch this space xx

Please help!! Read this….. we don’t want to close!!

Yesterday we had a really busy day with cake sales in the lovely shed. Every single cake was paid for (I do check and count)

Today… the remaining 10 cakes have gone but there was not one payment?? It just doesn’t make sense to me?

I’m going to write a sign on the shed in the week to the same effect as this for those not on socials.

We’ve invested a lot of money in the online shop, there’s a cash box, you can message me for payment links and it’s outside a post office in broad daylight so please help me understand what is happening??

If you took a cake today and thought you had paid then I am sorry but it’s not gone through :( and I’d appreciate you reaching out.

Many thanks!!!! A very sad baker :((
