We booked Bunty's for our wedding in April 2019 and she was by far the best supplier we worked with! We found an image of one of her semi-naked drip cakes online and got in touch directly for a quote. She was always quick to respond to emails, help with questions and super professional from start to finish. She delivered to our venue and helped set up when she didn't need to. Our wedding cake was gorgeous it was exactly what we wanted and most importantly it was delicious! All our guests couldn't stop talking about it! Can't recommend her enough

Report
I used Buntys for my wedding cake last year and they exceeded all my expectations. Jo is lovely and took everything I wanted in to account and made our cake even more beautiful then I could ever have imagined. It looked amazing, it tasted amazing and they couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. I wouldn't ever hesitate to recommend them as the place to get your wedding cake!!
