I cant begin to describe how brilliantly attentive Rachel was to providing us an outstanding service. From the first moment of contact she was full of ideas and was willing to work out how best to fulfil our vision of the perfect cake for our wedding. The detail, the design, most of all the flavour! Rachel sculpted perfection into our big day in the form of our wedding cake. I cant ever thank her enough for making our special day even more special. From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you so much Rachel. You truly are the best! With love,

Rachel made a absolutely delicious 4 tier wedding cake for us. The cake looked beautiful and tasted amazing. So many people commented on how much better it tasted than any other wedding cake they had had! The range of flavors and advice we got was so helpful and Rachel was very professional - arranging everything silently and practically. Could not recommend more highly!

.from the moment we set foot in Rachel's house to the point where we received our exquisite cake, there was an air of professionalism. Rachel had many brilliant ideas which were clearly based on years of experience and ideas which we simply would not of thought of. We were impressed with her endless portfolio of stunning cakes and the cleanliness of her working environment. You must try this place first.
