Where to start? We literally could not be any happier with our cake and the services from Joanna. Right from our first zoom meeting during lockdown we knew Joanna was the lady we needed to make our wedding cake.
Joanna genuinely cared about what we wanted and took notes on everything we discussed. The mock up drawing we received was perfect and a lovely keep sake. The tasting box allowed us to make the perfect flavour choices for us. But we couldnt have images the cake to be as perfect as it was. I got very excited on the day to see Joannas van pull up and shouted out an upstairs

Just perfect! From the very first time we met Jo we knew she was the right person to make our cake. From our initial appointment where she had created a personalised mood board full of designs and ideas, we knew she really cared and this isnt just a job for her.
Jos flavours are incredible (red velvet my particular favourite) She really has mastered her craft, the whole cake not only looked spectacular, each different layer tasted even better! We had to cancel our wedding twice due to COVID but Jo was very supportive throughout and even checked in with us on a number of occasions just to

Jo's cakes are DELICIOUS! She is also super friendly and helped us so much with our cake choices for our wedding cake. She sent us all the samples we needed and helped make our cake look exactly how we wanted by working with our flowers supplier. Thank you so much Jo! Demo and Charlotte

Joanna made a beautiful cake for my mums 80th birthday tea party. We were all delighted with it, so delicately made and decorated. The large feature rose on top was perfect and the garden theme ticked all the boxes for mum as she loves gardens and flowers. Thank you so much.

We cannot thank Jo enough for her efforts on our wedding cake. She perfectly captured every essence we wanted for our special day from the colour to the design. We had the most wonderful day with our 4-tier cake perfectly fitting with the room at Swinfen Hall Hotel in Lichfield. Due to how superb Jo is, we have decided to go back to her for our wedding reception 2.0 in September for our big party that we missed out on due to COVID-19. Again, Jo has excelled and her ideas for the next cake are amazing! Thank you again Jo, Im afraid youve got customers for life in us!
