Claire made our beautiful, delicious wedding cake and we couldn't have been happier with it. Claire was incredibly helpful and lovely to work with, from start to finish and we loved getting our tasting samples through the post, when we couldn't visit her studio in person due to COVID! The whole experience was a joy and now we just need to find another occaision to try another of Claire's amazing cakes!

I ordered a surprise birthday cake to be made while we stayed in the Shaftesbury area. Claire was great helping me organise it. She made the cake to perfection for the day and also delivered it to us, saving me a lot of time and hassle. Thanks to her prompt communication and flexibility, the cake order went absolutely smooth and took the stress out of organising a birthday party. The chocolate cake was a bit on the heavier side for us but that helped us freeze some of it for a later date, and relive my wife's birthday weekend. The selection of cakes Claire provides is wide enough so it's easy

We ordered a surprise birthday cake for my wife and we were really pleased with the appearance, taste, and overall service. We chose the strawberry and Prosecco flavour, which was subtle and not overpowering. The decoration and icing were superb and we will definitely use this company again. We all loved the cake and Claire was responsive and friendly. I would strongly recommend Caked Patisserie.
