Bespoke Cake Design
We create tailored celebration cakes with intricate sugarcraft details. Our process begins with client consultation to understand themes and preferences, followed by handcrafted sugar flowers, figures, and decorations made in-house. Each design benefits from our 2010-established expertise and two weeks' minimum creation time to ensure perfection for birthdays, weddings, and special occasions.
Cake Decorating Supplies
Our curated retail offering includes premium baking tools, edibles, and sugarcraft materials. Every product undergoes rigorous in-house testing before sale, covering essentials like cake tins, boards, ready-to-roll icing, and specialist decorations. We also offer hard-to-find items through customer requests, maintaining our 2010 commitment to quality-assured supplies for both hobbyists and professionals.
Sugarcraft Evening Classes
We provide hands-on sugarcraft instruction for all skill levels. Beginners learn foundational techniques while advanced students explore complex designs. Classes utilise our professional tools and materials, with booking available via phone or in-store. Our Dundee location hosts these sessions, combining practical tuition with our 2010-established industry expertise to develop participants' cake decorating capabilities.
Edible Printing

The process maintains food safety standards while offering precise detail reproduction, complementing our 2010-established core offerings of physical decorations and tools for professional and amateur bakers alike.
Custom Laser-Cut Toppers
Using our 2016-acquired commercial laser cutter, we produce bespoke cake toppers from acrylic and other food-safe materials. This technology enables intricate designs and niche requests like bicycle or runner motifs, alongside traditional wedding and birthday themes. Each piece undergoes quality checks to meet our 2010-established standards for durability and presentation.

Friendly family owned business. Very professional and helpful. I asked Suzanne if she could make me a specific cake topper recently and was very impressed with how it turned out. I would definitely recommend Cake Guru.

One star so I could make a comment. The most disgusting cake I have ever paid for. A complete embarrassment looked like it was made by an amateur. Butter cream was just butter, sponge cake burnt and cut so uneven with thick cream , scraping of jam and icing horribly spread. I did speak to you but with no response on the phone and no offer of refund. The photos I took were good proof.
